Aruban officials uncertain reported Joran van der Sloot confession will help Natalee Holloway case
By Hannah Wolfson -- The Birmingham News
June 08, 2010, 3:31PM


Aruban officials say they're uncertain a reported confession from Joran van der Sloot will be enough to convict him but they still hope information that comes from his interrogation in Peru will help them with Natalee Holloway's case.

Van der Sloot has long been the prime suspect in Holloway's 2005 disappearance in Aruba. A police spokesman in Peru said he admitted under questioning that he killed 21-year-old Stephany Flores, who was found dead in his hotel room.

That report has given Aruban investigators hope but van der Sloot has been so unreliable that it must be verified, Aruban Attorney General Taco Stein said in a phone interview this afternoon.

"We have had so many statements by Joran that we will have to evaluate that very carefully," Stein said.

He said he had been in communication with the Peruvian prosecutor's office and is ready to send Aruban investigators to take part if permission is granted.

Although an Aruban newspaper editor reported that police were renewing their search for Holloway's remains on the island, Stein said that there is no official search underway. He said private investigators may be conducting some kind of search

Texas Equusearch heads to Aruba for Holloway case
Updated at 04:45 PM today


Tim Miller with Texas Equusearch is back in Aruba again. He got there on Saturday, and we talked to him on the phone Tuesday. He's hoping van der sloot will confess to Natalee's murder, and reveal the location of her remains.

"I think this is the first time in Joran van der Sloot's life that he has not been in control. "I think they've pressured him in Peru on Natalee's case; he's at the breaking point, trying to save as much of his life as he can," said Miller. "I anticipate that he will give information on Natalee and where she's at, and I'm hoping the end is in sight for this island and this family."

Natalee's father, David Holloway, is on the way to Aruba. He'll join Miller on Wednesday. Miller says this is a tough time for the Holloways, but they are hopeful that they'll finally have closure.

The Texas Equusearch team is on standby should they get new information about where to look for Natalee's body.

Joran Van Der Sloot: A Growing Link to Natalee Holloway?
Dutch Playboy Caught Counting 'Extorted' Money That Financed Trip to Peru
June 9, 2010


The Dutch playboy who has reportedly confessed to last month's murder of a Peruvian woman was caught on tape counting the cash widely believed to have financed his trip to Peru , Greta Van Susteren, host of Fox News' "On the Record," told "Good Morning America" today.

The money was extorted from Natalee Holloway's family in what was supposed to have been an FBI-led sting, U.S. authorities have said.

Van Susteren said the FBI's failure to arrest Joran van der Sloot after $15,000 was wired from Holloway's hometown in Mountain Brook, Ala., to the Netherlands was "a blunder."

Van Susteren said he was given $10,000 in cash and was caught on camera counting and then recounting the cash. Sources have said that an additional $15,000 was wired to a Dutch bank.

(Continued)

Van der Sloot is being held in a Lima jail for the alleged murder of Stephany Flores Ramirez , 21. The two met while gambling and drinking at a Lima casino, officials said. Police believe she was killed May 30, the five-year anniversary of Holloway's disappearance in Aruba.

Flores' battered body was found three days later, her neck broken. Van der Sloot, who had crossed the border into Chile, was nabbed there and extradited back to Peru.

Van Susteren called the entire chain of events a "huge embarrassment" for U.S. authorities.

"I don't know why they didn't arrest him and I'm sure the FBI feels horrible about what happened," she said.

Joran Van Der Sloot: A Growing Link to Natalee Holloway?
Dutch Playboy Caught Counting 'Extorted' Money That Financed Trip to Peru
June 9, 2010


.... In Peru, investigators are leaning on van der Sloot to give them information about Holloway's 2005 disappearance in Aruba during a school trip. He has been arrested twice in Aruba and remains the prime suspect, but has never been charged.

Master hackers hired by Peruvian authorities to examine his laptop have reportedly found pictures and other information relating to Holloway.

Investigators in Lima are also pressuring van der Sloot to take then to the hotel where Flores was killed to retrace his steps.

Police investigators told Lima's La Republica newspaper that van der Sloot's bombshell confession came late Monday night when he tearfully admitted that he grabbed Flores by the neck when she began reading articles about him on the Internet.

"I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life," he told investigators, according to La Republica. "She had no right."

"I confronted her," he continued. "She was frightened, we argued and she wanted to get away. I grabbed her by the neck and I hit her."

Van der Sloot to Take Investigators to Scene of the Crime
 Dave Holloway, Natalee Holloway's father, told "Good Morning America" Tuesday that search teams had been assembled in Aruba in case Peruvian investigators are able to glean any more information about the teenager's disappearance.

"He's confessed to this one," Holloway said of Flores' death, "and I'd like for him to tell everyone what happened."

Holloway said he's been closely following the Flores case, calling it "deja vu."

"I would just like to say that you know all the pain and suffering that we've gone through, hopefully justice is served this time," he said.

Peruvian authorities have been careful to document every step of their investigation, videotaping every move including a search of his belongings.

Flores' father, Peruvian politician and race car driver Ricardo Flores, told ABC News that van der Sloot's laptop "contains valuable information that may lead to more of Joran's victims."

"I think he killed many others," he said.

Prior to van der Sloot's reported confession, Peruvian authorities released videos of his interrogation and from the hotel where he brought Flores after a night of drinking and gambling.

In the video of his interrogation, van der Sloot can be seen calmly explaining where he's been and what he's carrying, including a laptop, cash from different countries and photos. He even seemed friendly with the officers on his long drive back from Chile to Lima.

When investigators asked him where his credit cards were, van der Sloot answered in broken Spanish.

"I have those back in my hotel in Santiago," he said on the video. "I went up to my hotel room and I saw these things on the Internet and I had to leave quickly."

The calm demeanor van der Sloot showed on the video was a stark contrast to the stunned, even frightened look on his face as he was paraded in front of a media frenzy upon his return to Lima.

On the hotel surveillance video, released this week, van der Sloot can be seen getting his room key from the front desk. Police said they believe Flores was walking behind him, her back to the camera.

Moments later another camera upstairs captured the two walking into van der Sloot's room.

Van der Sloot was captured on camera leaving the hotel alone four hours later, wearing a different shirt and carrying a bag and a backpack.

Though the hotel management declined to comment on why it took three days to discover Flores, sources told ABC News that van der Sloot had pre-paid for a two-week stay and demanded that no one enter his room.

Joran Van Der Sloot: From Paradise to Prison
Broke and Depressed, the Recently Confessed Murderer Came From a Life Privilege
June 9, 2010


In the time it took Joran van der Sloot to buy a cup of coffee, Stephany Flores Ramirez learned something that cost her her life.

According to Peruvian authorities van der Sloot confessed to killing Flores, a 22-year-old Peruvian woman he had met only hours earlier when playing poker, because she found something on his laptop computer – something she was never meant to see.

"I did not want to do it," he confessed to police, but "the girl intruded into my private life."

Van der Sloot's private life, however, has been fodder for international headlines around the world his entire adult life. Although the subject of numerous police investigations and undercover press probes, what is still not known about van der Sloot is what makes him tick and if there are other women who have met the same grisly fate as Flores.

 "He is a narcissist and he has no impulse control," Harold Copus, a former FBI special agent hired by the Twittys to investigate van der Sloot, told ABCNews.com. "He might not set out to murder. I don't believe he's a serial killer. He's just extremely arrogant and believes he can get away with anything."

The profligate son of an Aruban judge, van der Sloot at 18 became the subject of international intrigue for his alleged role in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, a 17-year-old American high school girl who vanished from an Aruban beach on May 30, 2005, exactly five years before Flores was killed.

The snippet of van der Sloot's confession, made three days after authorities arrested him in Chile, shed some light on a young man whose 22-year-old life has been defined by scandal and arrests.

Prior to his arrival in Peru, van der Sloot had been trying to sell information about Holloway, first to journalists and, according to a U.S. federal indictment, to an individual in Alabama who sources say is Natalee's mother, Beth Twitty.

In the five years since Holloway disappeared, the unemployed van der Sloot spent much of that time gambling, partying and soliciting women.

 He has also been suspected of murdering two women, arrested three times, indicted on extortion charges, and accused of trafficking women in Thailand for sex.

Just after news broke that Joran was wanted for the Flores murder, Dutch journalist Jaap Amesz interviewed a friend of van der Sloot, who described him as broke, "completely desperate and pretty depressed."

 "I was in touch with Joran until right before May 30," the friend told Amesz."He was in Peru, that was known. In Aruba he couldn't deal with it anymore. His relationship with his mother was getting worse, he had gambled money away again. This is what preceded his flight to Peru. Right before the weekend it was clear that Joran was in financial trouble, and he was pretty confused. Driven by hunger, the fear of not being able to pay for his hotel. He desperately needed money. I have never seen Joran so frustrated as in this period."

"He asked me on several occasions to send money, and was (by his own account), completely desperate, and pretty depressed. He asked for small amounts (to eat), and became pretty angry when I refused to send anything. He said literally that he was capable of strange things, because no one wanted to help him," the friend told Amesz.

That is a far cry from 2005 when he was described by the Associated Press as "an honors student at the Aruba International School" who enjoyed a privileged life in the labyrinthine streets of an island paradise.

From the age of 16 he regularly visited the island's casinos, gambling on a $5,000 line of credit in his father's name. On the night Holloway disappeared he had been gambling with his father, Paulus, who was known to spend more time on the tennis court than in his courtroom.

Van der Sloot could act with impunity in Aruba because he knew the judge, said Copus.

"His father was a judge and his best friend was the police chief. In southern vernacular, Joran was the beneficiary of 'home cooking.' When you know the judge and the police department there's not a lot left to be against you," Copus said.

Although arrested twice in Holloway's disappearance, he was never tried for it.

Van der Sloot, even at a young age, had earned a reputation for "preying on girls, allegedly slipping them a date rape drug and taking advantage of them," Copus said.

In the years since Holloway's disappearance, van der Sloot has maintained a lifestyle similar to those of his teenage years in Aruba, playing poker and picking up women.

He left Aruba in 2006, returning to Arnhem, the Netherlands, where he briefly studied engineering.

Holloway's parents tried suing van der Sloot and his parents in 2006, seeking civil damages in a U.S. court. In their complaint they describe the Dutch teen as leading a "violent and anti-social lifestyle."

Van der Sloot was back in the news in 2008 for allegedly preying on women when he was captured in a sting by Dutch crime journalist Piet de Vries.

 Using hidden cameras, de Vries recorded van der Sloot trying to convince Thai women to go to Europe to work as sex workers. That same year de Vries interviewed van der Sloot on a Dutch talk show, which ended when van der Sloot threw a glass of wine in reporter's face.

Van der Sloot's father, Paulus, one of Aruba's four judges, died in February 2010, leading Joran to return to Aruba. But according to the friend it also led to a breakdown and plans to enter therapy.

"In the weeks before the murder things went totally awry with Joran. After the death of his father Joran went to live in Aruba again. Joran had new plans for the future. He was going into therapy... to give his life shape again," the friend told Amesz.

"A week after he was going to be admitted, this happens…" the friend said.

Re-enactment, formal charges in store for van der Sloot in Peru slayingBy the CNN Wire Staff
June 9, 2010 -- Updated 1421 GMT (2221 HKT)


Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Joran van der Sloot, the longtime suspect in the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, could be formally charged as early as Wednesday in the death of a Peruvian woman, authorities said.

Also Wednesday, van der Sloot is expected to re-enact for investigators the crime in his room at Hotel Tac, said Peru National Police Col. Abel Gamarra.

That re-enactment was originally slated for Tuesday but was delayed for security reasons.

Stephany Flores Ramirez' body was found in van der Sloot's hotel room last week. The 21-year-old woman was killed after she discovered information on his laptop linking him to Holloway's disappearance, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation told CNN.

Van der Sloot was interrogated for seven hours Monday, the source said.

The Dutch citizen told investigators that he left the hotel room to buy bread and coffee at a gas station next to the hotel, the source said.

Upon his return, he found Flores going through his laptop, where she found something linking him to the disappearance of Holloway, the source said.

At that point, Flores wanted to leave, and the pair started arguing, according to the source.

Flores slapped van der Sloot, and he hit her back, and then grabbed her neck, the source said.

Van der Sloot told investigators he was intoxicated on marijuana when all this happened, the source said.

Although Flores' body was found half-dressed, there was no evidence that she had sexual intercourse that night, the source said.

Van der Sloot had access to a public defender, but it was unclear whether he had used his services. Attempts by CNN to reach the public defenders' office were unsuccessful Tuesday.

Van der Sloot, 22, was arrested twice in connection with Holloway's disappearance in Aruba but was released for lack of evidence. He has denied any involvement and has not been charged.

Flores' body was found in the room registered to van der Sloot. Video from hotel security cameras shows van der Sloot and Flores entering his room at 5:33 a.m. on May 30. He emerged alone and left the hotel more than three hours later, the video shows.

He was arrested in Chile on Thursday and returned to Peru on Friday.

At van der Sloot's first court appearance, the judge may set a hearing date and order additional investigations.

The Peruvian justice system often issues a lighter sentence in cases in which the suspect confesses.

Van der Sloot could get up to 35 years in prison. There is no death penalty or life sentence in Peru.

A Peruvian police report leaked Monday provides new details about the hours before Flores' body was found.

According to the document, the Hotel Tac received a call from someone looking for van der Sloot about 11 p.m. June 1. The receptionist forwarded the call, but no one answered.

The hotel worker assumed that van der Sloot was asleep because the room key was with him and not at the front desk.

About an hour later, according to the police report, the receptionist noticed that van der Sloot owed money for two nights and went up to his room, where her knocks went unanswered. The television was blaring, so the hotel employee figured he was resting, the report says.

Afterward, the hotel supervisor told the employee to go back to van der Sloot's room and enter using a spare key. When the employee went in, she found Flores' body on the floor, dressed in a black T-shirt and red panties, half-covered with a piece of white clothing, the police report said.

Flores had bled from her nose, the report said.

The hotel employee became frightened and went to alert her supervisor and the police, turning off the television and lights on her way out of the room, the report said.

The developments in the van der Sloot case came as the Natalee Holloway Resource Center opened Tuesday in Washington. The nonprofit center is located at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment.

Holloway's mother, Beth, attended the opening.

She urged supporters to keep the Flores family "in our hearts and in our prayers."

The center says it will provide families of missing persons help with managing their crises and give students advice on traveling safely.

Interpol: Van der Sloot tried to extort Holloway's motherBy the CNN Wire Staff
June 8, 2010 8:10 p.m. EDT


(CNN) -- Joran van der Sloot, who authorities say has confessed to the murder of a Peruvian woman, faces criminal charges in Alabama because he tried to extort $250,000 from Natalee Holloway's mother, according to an Interpol document.

U.S. authorities last week announced an arrest warrant for van der Sloot on charges of extortion and wire fraud, but they did not name the victim.

In an Interpol document obtained by CNN Wednesday, American authorities ask Peruvian police to arrest van der Sloot and begin a process of extradition to the United States. The document states that Peruvian authorities can hold him if he is facing charges there.

According to the document, around March 29, van der Sloot contacted a representative of Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway.

The Dutch citizen, who was twice arrested in connection with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway but released for lack of evidence, said he would reveal the location of the body and the circumstances surrounding her death for $25,000 in cash. He asked for $250,000 in total, the document states.

Van der Sloot and Beth Holloway's representative met in Aruba, where a payment of $10,000 was made to him, followed by a transfer of $15,000 to a personal bank account in the Netherlands, the document states.

In exchange, van der Sloot showed the representative a house where supposedly Holloway's remains were, according to the document. When records showed that the house wasn't even built at the time of her disappearance, van der Sloot admitted that he lied, Interpol said.

http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/colombia-police-investigate-van-der-sloot-over-missing-girls


Colombia police investigate Van der Sloot over missing girls
Published on : 9 June 2010 - 12:01pm | By RNW News Desk (Photo: ANP)

Police in Colombia are investigating whether Dutch national Johan van der Sloot was involved in the disappearance of two girls in Bogotá. The chief suspect in the murder case of Peruvian woman Stephany Flores was reportedly seen in various casinos in the Colombian capital in the company of young girls.

The sensationalist newspaper El Espacio has published an article on the Dutchman, linking his visits to Bogotá casinos to attend poker games between 6 and 14 May 2010, to the young women’s disappearance. The two girls went missing in the same period and - according to eye-witnesses - were spotted in Van der Sloot’s company. The 22-year-old Dutchman stayed at two or more hotels, the newspaper reports.
 
Crosses the border unnoticed

On 14 May, Van der Sloot left for Peru. According to a Colombian police spokesman, “there is no official documentation” of Johan van der Sloot crossing the Colombian border into Peru. The spokesman admits in Dutch newspaper, the AD, that there are several points along the border where it’s possible to cross over without being checked.
 
The police spokesman has confirmed that Bogotá is investigating the disappearance of the two girls, but stresses that there is as yet unsubstantiated evidence to implicate Johan van der Sloot, who is still the main suspect in the case of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
 
Notoriety
Van der Sloot gained international notoriety because of his connection with the disappearance of US teenager Natalee Holloway on the island of Aruba in 2005. Ms Holloway's body has never been found and the case remains unsolved. Although Van der Sloot is the chief suspect, no charges have been brought against him due to lack of evidence.
 
Natalee's father, Dave Holloway, has said he hopes the confession over the Stephany Flores murder will lead to more revelations in Natalee's case. The father of the US teenager said a long prison term in a Peruvian jail would at least be a just punishment for Van der Sloot. The Public Prosecutor in Aruba has offered to assist Peru in the Flores investigation.
 
Stephany Flores
Once in Peru, Van der Sloot checked into a hotel in the capital, Lima. The Dutchman has since confessed to the murder of the 21-year-old Peruvian woman on 30 May. Apparently, Van der Sloot reacted furiously when Ms Flores used his laptop without his permission and discovered his link to the disappearance of US teenager Natalee Holloway.
 
If found guilty of murder, Van der Sloot faces a 35-year jail sentence in Peru. In the case of manslaughter, he could get a 20-year jail term. Peruvian Minister of Social Development and Women’s Affairs, Nidia Vílchez Yucra, is calling for the maximum sentence.

Video Released of Van Der Sloot
Aired June 7, 2010 - 19:00:00   ET


TIM MILLER, TEXAS EQUUSEARCH: Well, you know, I`m in Aruba right now, and I`ve actually got a map that Joran wrote and drew another map down here where Natalee`s body is supposedly at.

You know, Joran was very convincing to a lot, a lot of people. He`s exported thousands and thousands of dollars over the past years with lies. Every time he moves his lips a lie was coming out it, and he`s very, very convincing.

And you know -- you know, Aruba has a lot of mud on their face right now. Joran Van Der Sloot should have been in prison for the disappearance/murder of Natalee Holloway, and unfortunately, that investigation -- and Jane, we talked about it yesterday, should it be reinvestigated? And remember, I said it never was investigated as far as...

(CROSSTALK)

JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL, HOST: Right. Is it your understanding that Beth was the victim of the extortion and that Beth sent the money? We have not been able to get a comment from her attorneys. This is just what other people are reporting.

MILLER: Well, and yes. And you know, the other thing is that he was actually on the island here in Aruba, and it was a money transfer -- wire transfer here in Aruba. And Aruba authorities had him under surveillance and could have arrested him at that minute, held him for 30 days.

America would have extradited him back to America. He could have gotten a 20-year prison sentence in America. And again, he slipped through the fingers of the Aruban authorities, took the $15,000, went to Peru, gambled, had a good time, and ended up -- murdered another girl.

FBI gave $25K to van der Sloot, official says
June 9, 2010 1:48 p.m. EDT


(CNN) -- The FBI paid Joran van der Sloot $25,000 in an undercover investigation of a plot to extort money from Natalee Holloway's mother, a federal law enforcement official told CNN Wednesday.

The FBI and U.S. Attorneys Office in Alabama arranged for a meeting where an undercover agent paid van der Sloot $10,000 in cash and another $15,000 in a wire transfer for information van der Sloot allegedly promised would lead to Holloway's body in Aruba, a source familiar with the case said.

It's unclear if that money funded van der Sloot's trip to Colombia and into Peru where authorities said he confessed this week to killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores.

Van der Sloot, a Dutch citizen, was twice arrested in connection with the 2005 disappearance of Holloway but was released for lack of evidence.

The information van der Sloot provided to the FBI was not true, according to an Interpol document obtained by CNN Wednesday.

This week Alabama authorities filed extortion and wire fraud charges against van der Sloot.

On or about March 29, van der Sloot contacted a representative of Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway, the Intepol document states.

That came as a shock to Natalee Holloway's father Dave Holloway.

CNN spoke with his attorney Vinda de Sousa in Aruba Wednesday.

"Shocked, saddened," the attorney said when asked if he knew about the deal.

Van der Sloot and Beth Holloway's representative met in Aruba, where a payment of $10,000 was made to him, followed by a transfer of $15,000 to a personal bank account in the Netherlands, the Interpol document states.

In exchange, van der Sloot showed the representative a house where supposedly Holloway's remains were, according to the document. When records showed that the house wasn't even built at the time of her disappearance, van der Sloot admitted that he lied, Interpol said.

ISSUES WITH JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL
Van Der Sloot Confesses to Murder
Aired June 8, 2010 - 19:00:00   ET


TIM MILLER, EQUUSEARCH:  ... And there`s also reports, Jane, coming in that with that $15,000 he first went to Colombia. He was in Colombia for two days. And I was actually in Jossy`s office today. And there are two girls that are missing from a casino in Colombia.

JEAN VELEZ-MITCHELL, HOST: What?

MILLER: Jossy is telling me this story, and while he was talking to me, his phone rang, and Jossy told me that the authorities from Colombia are on their way now to Peru also to interrogate Joran Van Der Sloot on two girls that have disappeared in Colombia when he left Aruba. He was in Colombia two days and then went to Peru.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: This is breaking news! This is breaking news that you`re telling us right now, that he could be connected to two other women`s disappearance?

MILLER: In Colombia. From a casino, Jane. And I was there in Jossy`s office when he got the phone call, which I believe came from Colombia, that the authorities...

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Breaking news right here on ISSUES. The whole world has learned that Joran Van Der Sloot confessed to killing a woman in Lima, Peru. But now we are hearing from Tim Miller, who is the director of Texas EquuSearch, who is in Aruba, that Colombian authorities are traveling to Peru and investigating whether Joran Van Der Sloot might have connection to other missing women in Colombia.

Repeat again, Tim Miller, the breaking news that you just gave us.

MILLER: OK. Again, I was at Jossy Mansur`s office today. And Jossy has the area newspaper; a very intelligent man, a very credible man. And he actually gave me this article.

And while we was talking about it, Jossy`s phone rang. And I believe it was a call that came from Colombia that stated that authorities in Colombia were heading to Peru to go ahead and interview Joran Van Der Sloot also about the disappearance of these two girls while Joran Van Der Sloot was in Peru after he left Aruba. The disappearance of these two girls for a casino.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: In Colombia?

MILLER: In Colombia.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: All right. Linda De Sousa, you are the Aruban attorney for Dave Holloway. You are in Aruba. What is your reaction to what we`re hearing, which we cannot independently confirm here on HLN? But I can tell you, Jean Casarez, who is in Peru, is making phone calls right now, having heard that, to try to find out what authorities in Peru are saying.

LINDA DE SOUSA, ARUBAN ATTORNEY FOR DAVE HOLLOWAY: Hi, Jane. Good evening.

Well, I have heard that before. I spoke to Tim, and he told me about it, and I had read something on the Internet about that, locally posted. We don`t know yet. It has not been confirmed. But the coming days will let us know and will show if that, indeed, is the case.

Joran van der Sloot Update: FBI Official Responds to Blackmail Sting Criticism


NEW YORK (CBS) The FBI is defending its failure to arrest murder suspect Joran van der Sloot on extortion charges in the Natalee Holloway case, saying they were getting closer to making a murder arrest in that case, and didn't want to blow the investigation.

PICTURES: Joran van der Sloot
PICTURES: Stephany Flores

The Bureau is coming under some fire for not arresting van der Sloot in Aruba, since he then allegedly then took the money from the exortion sting and went to Peru, where he has since been jailed in the killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores, who was murdered the last week of May.

A senior FBI official tells CBS News that the Dutchman "had avoided arrest for five years. If we had nabbed him [for extortion], he would have clammed up. He is not afraid of anyone. It would have spooked him."

According to the official, the FBI felt that for the first time in five years they were on the brink of finding Natalee Holloway's body. The FBI says it was receiving statements from van der Sloot about how and where he hid the body. Aruban officials, along with FBI agents, "were working this very intensely," including looking at blueprints, making plans to dig and bring in cadaver dogs.

"We were not trying to build a white collar extortion case. We were trying to solve the crime," the senior official told CBS News.

The official said there was no evidence van der Sloot, now 22, was a serial killer or about to commit another crime. The Bureau believed he was desperate for money and thought he would use it to feed a gambling addiction.

The FBI official adds that the Arubans couldn't stop him from leaving the country, and neither could the FBI because "it's not our country and he isn't a US citizen."

"We believe it was a very logical investigation," the senior official told CBS News.

The FBI says on Ma y 10, a $15,000 wire payment was sent van der Sloot with money from the Holloway family, which established the crime of extortion. There was also a 10-thousand dollar cash payment, which the Bureau says couldn't be used as a basis for a criminal charge.

The extortion charges against van der Sloot in the Holloway case were announced Thursday, June 3, the same day he was captured in Chile in the murder of Stephany Flores in Lima, Peru.

Natalee Holloway disappeared five years ago in Aruba, during the Alabama teen's senior class high school graduation trip.

Press Release
For Immediate Release
June 9, 2010

FBI Birmingham
Contact: Public Affairs Specialist Paul E. Daymond
(205) 279-1457
United States Attorney's Office
Northern District of Alabama
Contact: (205) 244-2001
 
Joint Statement by United States Attorney Joyce White Vance and FBI Special Agent in Charge Patrick Maley Regarding the Joran van der Sloot Investigation

In April of this year, the FBI and U.S. Attorney's office in Birmingham, Alabama initiated an investigation into allegations of criminal conduct by Joran van der Sloot related to the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba five years earlier. Prior to law enforcement's involvement in the situation, Van der Sloot offered to provide information to an individual regarding the location of Natalee Holloway's remains and the circumstances of her death in exchange for $250,000.00. The FBI-led investigation was conducted in conjunction with Aruban authorities. The U.S. Attorney filed a criminal complaint charging van der Sloot with extortion and wire fraud on June 3, 2010.

Some news accounts have suggested that the FBI provided $25,000.00 in funds that were transmitted to van der Sloot. This is incorrect. The funds involved were private funds.

News accounts have also questioned why charges were not brought earlier, so that the tragic death of Stephany Flores could have been avoided. We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the Flores family. The Birmingham investigation was not related in any way to the murder in Peru. Despite having been in motion for several weeks at the time of Miss Flores’ death, it was not sufficiently developed to bring charges prior to the time van der Sloot left Aruba. This is not due to any fault on the part of the FBI or the U.S. Attorney’s Office, where agents and prosecutors were working as hard as possible to bring the case to fruition when they learned of the murder. A case based on events outside of the United States is a complex matter, and work was proceeding with all deliberate speed to prepare the evidence, the charges, and the necessary procedures to obtain custody of van der Sloot.

CNN LARRY KING LIVE
Murder Suspect Van Der Sloot Confesses
Aired June 8, 2010 - 21:00   ET


TACO STEIN, SOLICITOR GENERAL, ARUBA (via phone): Well, I'm glad for the people there that this happened. It was a terrible tragedy over there. And I think it's a good thing that they got him so fast.

LARRY KING, HOST: Have Aruban authorities spoken to anyone in Peru about this?

STEIN: Right this morning, my colleague that's still in charge of the Natalee Holloway case here has tried to be in contact with the prosecutor in Peru. She was not available at that time, but we left message and we are expecting a call back from them to share information and see how we can help each other.

KING: Do you want Peruvian authorities to question him about Natalee Holloway?

STEIN: That's -- would be a possibility, but I might imagine that they have enough on their own hands. So we have to see how we can work this out in a way that is profitable for both of us.

STEIN: Well, extradition -- there is no treaty between the Dutch kingdom and Peru as far as I'm aware that makes an extradition a possibility. So then it's up to the countries themselves to work a deal out. But I can imagine that Peru will be reluctant to let him go.

KING: Yes.

STEIN: In view of what has happened there.

KING: They've got him nailed, as they say.

STEIN: Yes. Sure. Yes.

KING: What is the status of the case -- the case of Van Der Sloot in Aruba right this minute?

STEIN: OK, well, if you look at it from what has happened recently, for us not much has changed. We are still in a position that we say we have done a very great number of land inquiry which didn't work out, and we still are willing and ready to pick up on new lines of inquiry or new information that needs to be investigated.

But at this moment, they are not yet there. But the new case might bring something about. We've heard about the laptop and that laptop might or might not -- we don't know that yet of course -- information that might be useful for us.

KING: To your knowledge, when was the last time he was in Aruba?

STEIN: He was in Aruba until recently, somewhere in May.

KING: Now this is puzzling. What was Aruba's awareness of, involvement in this May 10th sting operation against Joran in connection with an alleged extortion of money in which he would get money and give you information about Natalee?

STEIN: Well, to begin with, I don't know if this would be a real sting operation, that's one. But that's not up to me to decide. Two, if that was an American investigation done by the American authorities, and we were only involved in the investigation in a support of capacity.

So we helped in the investigation, but it was not our investigation. The crime was an American crime perpetrated on American soil against an American citizen.

KING: So you don't know anything about money exchanging hands?

STEIN: Not more than I've heard, and I know that that was the story behind what was happening was that as far as I get it that Joran Van Der Sloot asked for money to show the place the remains of Natalee were buried.

KING: Without admitting that he harmed her.

STEIN: Of course.

KING: Yes. Have you been keeping track of him?

STEIN: In a part of the help in the investigation was keeping track of him, yes.

KING: As you look back, were there mistakes made by Aruban authorities?

STEIN: You mean in this last part of the investigation?

KING: Yes.

STEIN: I don't think so, because we were just supporting the investigation.
