Joran Van der Sloot has been accused of requesting $250,000 in exchange for the whereabouts of Natalee Holloway’s remains and the circumstances relating to her death.

Money was wired from a Birmingham institution back in May to Joran Van Der Sloot.
However, the information he gave was false.

Chilean Police arrested van der Sloot in Santiago earlier Thursday, just one day after finding Stephany Flores' body in his hotel room in Peru.
Flores, the murdered woman in Peru, was found dead five years to the day that Holloway disappeared in Aruba while on a high school graduation trip.

I hope justice is served for both young girls - neither deserved the fate they met at the hands of this evil man - let Peruvian convicts show him what "real" life in jail is all about!

Wow, I hadn't heard the was doing the extortion thing here in the USA. We'll have to get in line. Peru will convict him first and we'll never see his face in the USA. Good luck with that Peruvian jail cell.

Oh man, how creepy that the newly murdered girl was killed five years to the day of Natalie's death. Has he murdered others as well, I wonder?

Just horrible if true. Imagine Natalie's parents' suffering, not knowing of her fate, although I guess by now it's a given that this guy murdered her. Hope he goes away for life for his crimes.
