JEAN CASAREZ, CORRESPONDENT, "IN SESSION": The attorney for Joran Van Der Sloot in Lima, Maximo Altez told us that there are over 600 pages of psychological findings from him through his whole life and they`ve got those pages and they`re going to use the psychological to the best of their ability in the defense for Joran Van Der Sloot. So these psychological issues didn`t just come about and it looks like they were documented from early on in life.

JOE TACOPINA, FORMER ATTORNEY FOR VAN DER SLOOT:  And remember, Joy, Jean, you know this that Joran`s mother Anita, who really is a wonderful, wonderful woman tried in the last year and a half to get him committed.

JOY BEHAR, HOST: Yes.

TACOPINA: To a psychological institution to get help. So this wasn`t -- this is not a create-your-defense thing after the fact. I mean, there have been issues deeply-rooted issues with this boy for a while.

The victim's father said he believes van der Sloot is responsible for the young woman's death.

"We have all the evidence to show that the killer is this man," businessman and race-car driver Ricardo Flores told CNN en Español.

But van der Sloot's former attorney, Joseph Tacopina, told CNN it was too early to reach any conclusions.

"I just think we need to take a step back before we get to the 'I told you so' stage, and let's see what the evidence is here," Tacopina said Thursday.

Tacopina said he is not representing van der Sloot and no longer has a good relationship with the family.

Van der Sloot "feels guilty"
Last Update: 9/07 11:11 am 

Birmingham, Al (WIAT)  Joran van der Sloot says he has no culpability for Natalee Holloway's disappearance but that he feels guilty for a lot of what he's done since.

"For everything that's happened since 2005, all the things said in the media and everything, I feel guilty for, yeah," van der Sloot, 22, said in the interview that aired on Dutch TV last night.

In the interview, conducted in his cell in Lima, Peru's Castro Castro prison, van der Sloot said he feels guilty about his father's fatal heart attack, for not listening to his mother and for telling lies, as well as his past behavior.

"I was doing a lot of things that I shouldn't have been doing, and mostly only going out all the night and sleeping all the day," he said, describing himself as "impulsive."

Van der Sloot was also asked why he's told so many different stories about Natalee Holloway's fate...including confessions with details that turned out to be fake.

"There were people who were paying me to make up stories, and I was really good at making up stories. Everybody keeps coming at you asking questions ... if you want something, I'll tell you whatever you want to hear, sure."

He went on to say he has "misused the situation for my own advantage."

Excerpts of the interview ran on the Today show followed by comments by a Holloway family attorney.
It's a familiar refrain, said John Q. Kelly, an attorney for Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty.

"He's always a victim. He's always seeking attention. He's always misunderstood and someday he's absolutely going to tell the truth," Kelly said on NBC. "... He's a pathological liar."

He said it was van der Sloot who contacted him about revealing the location of Holloway's body in exchange for payment. "We knew he was going to lie, and was going to make up the basis for wire fraud," Kelly said. "It's attention-seeking behavior, as simple as that," "He wants to be in the spotlight ... he just can't help himself."

Van der Sloot conceded in the Dutch TV interview that taking money from the Holloway family in exchange for information about Natalee's fate was a scam.  He faces federal charges here in Birmingham for wire fraud and extortion.

Extradition to Alabama to face those charges is pending while van der Sloot faces murder charges in Peru in the death of 21 year old Stephany Flores, a student he met in a casino in Lima.  Her body was found in van der Sloot's hotel room five years to the day of Natalee Holloway's disappearance in Aruba.

Holloway attorney details van der Sloot sting
updated 6/11/2010 12:58:39 PM ET

In March, van der Sloot reached out to Kelly, demanding $250,000 from Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, in exchange for leading Kelly to the teenager’s remains, Kelly told TODAY.

Kelly said that when van der Sloot contacted him, he did not think he was going to learn the truth. His feelings, he said, were, “skepticism, caution, assuming everything he was going to tell me was false — but I had to understandably think that it might be true, also; so approach it very carefully and keep communicating.”

Kelly agreed to meet van der Sloot alone and brought no money — angering the suspect. Kelly then called the FBI to set up a sting, telling TODAY it only took $100 to convince van der Sloot to start talking with him again.

'A win-win situation'
Kelly said he ultimately decided he couldn’t lose by playing along with van der Sloot's demands for money in exchange for revealing the location of Holloway's remains.

“It was a win-win situation. He was either going to pay the money, and if the information turned out to be true, Beth would get closure, she’d bring Natalie home. Assuming it was false, it would be extortion and wire fraud once falsehoods are proven. Either way, he’d be boxed in,” Kelly told TODAY. Kelly said van der Sloot wanted $25,000 up front, with the rest to be provided when the remains were recovered and proven to be Holloway’s, Kelly said.

So Kelly went to Aruba in April to meet with van der Sloot without telling anyone but his own wife and Twitty. He met van der Sloot for about two hours in a hotel.

“No money, no recording devices. Nobody knew I was there,” Kelly said Friday. “It was Easter Sunday. It was one-on-one in a hotel room for a couple hours. He thought I was bringing the $25,000. I engaged him in a long series of conversations. I was trying to get as much information as I could.”

Van der Sloot wanted money, and when Kelly said he didn’t have it with him, the man got “very angry, very agitated, very upset.”

Kelly said it was nerve-racking.

“He’s a big guy. He’s 6’4”, 225 [pounds], well built. He’s sort of a threatening individual when he gets angry, no question.”

When Kelly returned to the States, he contacted the FBI and began to set up the elaborate sting with the FBI and Aruban law-enforcement authorities.

He regained van der Sloot’s attention by sending him $100. Then, with a promise that he would bring $25,000, another meeting was set up for May 10 in Aruba.

This time, Kelly was hooked up with recording devices and rehearsed in how he needed to handle the transaction. He gave van der Sloot $10,000 in cash, establishing extortion, then had $15,000 of Twitty's personal money wired to van der Sloot’s bank account in the Netherlands, establishing wire fraud.

Van der Sloot and Kelly signed a contract, and van der Sloot took the lawyer on a drive to show where Holloway’s remains were. He pointed out a house and said his father had helped dispose of the body in the foundation. It was later determined that the house was not built when Holloway disappeared on her high school’s senior trip and that the information was false.

Van der Sloot himself told Kelly in an e-mail he apparently sent from Peru a week after the meeting that he had lied.

“He indicated it was all a hoax, which is sort of his M.O. with everybody — get the money, then say it’s a hoax and avoid criminal prosecution,” Kelly said.

Holloway attorney details van der Sloot sting
John Q. Kelly set up suspect, who said he would show Holloway’s remains

updated 2 hours, 41 minutes ago

An attorney for Natalee Holloway's mother spent more than six hours on two occasions trying to get Joran van der Sloot to divulge the location in Aruba of her daughter’s remains, first on his own, then with the help of the FBI.  He lured van der Sloot with $100 and the promise of $25,000 more, he tells TODAY.

Van der Sloot, who is under arrest in Peru for the murder of the 21-year-old daughter of a prominent local family, has been suspected almost from the beginning of being responsible for Holloway’s death in Aruba five years ago.

Attorney John Q. Kelly says he walked away from his meetings with van der Sloot having no doubt that the suspect is a psychopath.

John Q. Kelly set up suspect, who said he would show Holloway’s remains

Joran van der Sloot was so desperate for money that $100 — with only a promise of more to come — was all he needed to further an FBI sting operation and spark a chain of events that ended with him confessing to a Peruvian woman's savage death, according to the lawyer who provided the funds.

In a TODAY exclusive, John Q. Kelly, an attorney for Natalee Holloway's mother, offered new details about the sting operation that likely allowed van der Sloot to flee Aruba for Peru.

Van der Sloot has been suspected almost from the beginning of being responsible for Natalee Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba five years ago, and Thursday, Peruvian police told NBC News that he admitted knowing the location of Holloway’s remains. They added that he was willing to tell authorities in Aruba where to find the Alabama teenager’s remains.

In March, van der Sloot reached out to Kelly, demanding $250,000 from Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, in exchange for leading Kelly to the teenager’s remains, Kelly told TODAY.

van der Sloot appeal drags on

Last Update: 1:42 pm

Birmingham, Al (WIAT)  While Joran van der Sloot sits in his cell at Lima's Castro Castro prison he's probably revelling in the attention he gained with an interview aired on Dutch TV Monday night.  But he's also waiting an answer on a far more important question:  his bid to get a murder confession tossed out of court because of alleged improprieties.

Under Peruvian law, it takes three appellate judges to sustain or deny an appeal.  The initial three judge panel split 2-1 in favor of denying the appeal, so a fourth judge was appointed.  But even that decision may not end the drama.  If the fourth judge sides with van der Sloot, a fifth judge will be appointed to review the same evidence and provide the necessary third vote.

Van der Sloot confessed to killing Stephany Flores after the Peruvian student found material relating to Natalee Holloway on van der Sloot's computer.  The body of Flores, a 21 year old student and daughter of a Peruvian business man and race car driver, was found in van der Sloot's Lima hotel room five years to the day after Holloway disappeared in Aruba.  The Mountain Brook teenager was on a graduation trip to Aruba and was last seen leaving a nightclub there with van der Sloot.  He's still the prime suspect in that case but was never charged.

So what's at stake with his appeal in Peru?  Authorities there would still have a substantial amount of evidence in their murder case, including security camera video of van der Sloot and Flores entering his hotel room but only him coming out.  Current Peruvian law would have a maximum sentence of 35 years if van der Sloot is convicted of killing Flores.

Lurking in the background are federal charges of wire fraud and extortion claiming van der Sloot scammed the Holloway family taking $25,000 but not coming across with promised information on Natalee's fate.  In his Dutch television interview he admitted the scam "I wanted to get back at Natalee's family - her parents have been making my life tough for five years,"

The United States has requested extradition on the federal charges but Peru has physical custody and their murder charges take precedent.

New van der Sloot book due out

Last Update: 8:12 pm 
   
Birmingham, Al  (WIAT)  A new book titled Joran's Murder Mysteries promises "The complete story about the true role of Joran van der Sloot in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and the killing of Stephany Flores."

Other breathless prose and promises in an ad in the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf's website include:

• Filled with countless previously unpublished material from secret police files.
• Latest new facts and witness statements.
• Unique and revealing images.
• The facts behind the disappearance of Natalie Holloway.
• The secret conspiracy behind the murder of Stephanie Flores.
• The dubious role of the FBI in both cases.
• Exclusive pictures of Castro Castro prison in Joran.

The book, due out October 19, was co-written by Bert Huisjes and John van den Heuvel, the reporter who recently interviewed van der Sloot in his Castro Castro prison cell in Lima, Peru.  That interview which appeared in De Telegraaf as well as on Dutch television contained little about the Natalee Holloway case beyond van der Sloot's admission that he scammed Natalee's family out of $25,000.

 "I wanted to get back at Natalee's family - her parents have been making my life tough for five years," the paper quoted him as saying from prison in Peru. "When they offered to pay for the girl's location, I thought: 'Why not'?"

Van der Sloot is still awaiting results of an appeal to throw out his confession to murdering 21 year old student Stephany Flores, reportedly because she found matrial relating to Natalee Holloway on his laptop.  Flores was found dead in van der Sloot's Lima hotel room five years to the day of Holloway's disappearance on Aruba.  The Mountain Brook, Alabama teen was on a graduation trip to the island and was last seen with van der Sloot.

The Dutch national also faces U.S. charges of wire fraud and extortion relating to the money for information scam he pulled on Natalee's family....the extortion he confessed to in van den Heuvel's jailhouse interview.

Natalee Holloway's mother sneaks into prison to confront suspect
Tells Joran van der Sloot she has 'no hate in her soul,' according to reports

NBC, msnbc.com and news services
updated 20 minutes ago

The mother of missing teenager Natalee Holloway sneaked into the Peruvian prison where suspect Joran van der Sloot is being held and confronted him about fate of her daughter, according to local news reports.

Beth Holloway-Twitty arrived at Castro Castro Prison with a Dutch journalist, Peter de Vries, who is investigating her daughter's disappearance for Dutch television, the Peruvian news program 24 HORAS reported.

Holloway-Twitty was reportedly able to speak to Van der Sloot for five minutes Wednesday before she was removed by the authorities because she did not have permission to talk to him.

Van der Sloot is being held in the prison on charges that he killed another woman, Stephany Flores, in his hotel room in Lima, Peru, on May 30 — 5 years to the day after Holloway's disappearance.

Holloway was last seen alive with him on the Caribbean resort island of Aruba in 2005 and he has publicly said he killed her and then retracted his confession several times.

Direct questions
Gyofred Munoz Care, a reporter with 24 Horas, told NBC News that Holloway-Twitty traveled to Peru expressly to talk to Van der Sloot with de Vries and other Dutch journalists.

"Beth Twitty and Joran van der Sloot met and they spoke for five minutes," Munoz Care told NBC. "But when Beth Twitty asked direct questions about the crime, he refused to answer without having his lawyer present."

However Van der Sloot's lawyer, Maximo Altez, told NBC News that the face-to-face meeting had lasted "less than one minute."

Altez told NBC that "the Dutch media is using Beth Holloway to create a TV special which would include her, the Flores family, and an interview with Joran van der Sloot."

According to Altez, the Dutch media "snuck Beth Holloway-Twitty into Castro Castro without identifying who she was and put her face to face with van der Sloot."

She told Van der Sloot that she had "no hate in her soul" for him, at which point he handed her Altez's business card, claiming that he could not speak to her without his lawyer present.

Prison officials then removed Holloway-Twitty, de Vries and the rest of the Dutch news team from the jail.

Contrary to some reports, Twitty was not arrested, Altez said. Colonel Gamarra, director of information for the Peruvian police, confirmed that there were no arrests made, NBC reported.

Jose Camarena, lawyer for the Flores family, said the Dutch production group approached the Flores family to do a story with Ricardo Flores Sr., father of Stephany, and Holloway-Twitty.

Ricardo Flores Sr. declined to participate but his son Enrique met with Holloway-Twitty on camera.

Camarena said that "Beth Holloway is being paid by the Dutch media to participate in a soap-opera-like special."

Holloway's Mom Confronts Van der Sloot in Jail
Published September 17, 2010
| FoxNews.com

The mother of missing American teen Natalee Holloway confronted suspect Joran Van der Sloot in a Peruvian prison after sneaking in with a Dutch journalist, local media reported Friday.

Van der Sloot, 22, is being held in a maximum security prison in Lima, pending trial for allegedly beating to death 21-year-old Stephany Flores in his Lima hotel room in May.

He is the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of 18-year-old Holloway in the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.

Beth Holloway, formerly Beth Twitty, entered the Castro Castro Prison with Dutch TV journalist Peter de Vries, who is investigating her daughter's disappearance. Holloway managed to speak to Van der Sloot for about five minutes, Peru's 24 Horas reported, but was removed from the facility after it was found she did not have permission to speak to him.

"Beth Twitty and Joran van der Sloot met and they spoke for five minutes," Gyofred Munoz Care, a reporter with 24 Horas, told NBC.

"But when Beth Twitty asked direct questions about the crime, he refused to answer without having his lawyer present."

Van der Sloot's lawyer, Maximo Altez, told NBC that "the Dutch media is using Beth Holloway to create a TV special which would include her, the Flores family, and an interview with Joran van der Sloot."

A grand jury in Alabama, where Natalee Holloway lived, indicted Van der Sloot on June 30 for wire fraud and extortion. He allegedly demanded $250,000 from Beth Holloway to tell her where to find her missing daughter's remains.

Van der Sloot was arrested twice in the Holloway case and spent three months in jail but was never charged. Holloway's body has never been found.

In May, he traveled to Lima, where he allegedly killed Flores after she stumbled upon computer files with information on the Holloway case.
