Van Der Sloot Confesses To Peru Slaying
Stephany Flores' Battered Body Found In Hotel
June 8, 2010


The day of his arrest in Chile, Van der Sloot was charged in the United States with trying to extort $250,000 from Holloway's family in exchange for disclosing the location of her body and describing how she died.

U.S. prosecutors say $15,000 was transferred to a Dutch bank account in his name on May 10. He arrived in Peru four days later, his visit coinciding with the runup to a June 2-5 Latin America Poker Tour tournament with a $930,000 prize pool.

BREAKING NEWS: IT WAS HOLLOWAY ATTORNEY JOHN Q. KELLY WHO SET UP THE MAY 10 STING


Kelly, with the FBI, and with the assistance of  Aruban law enforcement, set up the sting operation for May 10.  A hotel room in Aruba and a car were both equipped with videotape equipment so that the crime could be caught on tape. ....

3 days after Van der Sloot was caught on tape committing the two planned crimes, he boarded a flight from Aruba to Colombia and on to Peru.  The Aruban Attorney General told me that the FBI was warned that van der Sloot was leaving the country but that the FBI did not move.

Investigator Points Finger At Aruban Government
Updated: Thursday, 10 Jun 2010, 9:39 AM EDT
Published : Thursday, 10 Jun 2010, 9:22 AM EDT


MYFOXNY.COM - A former detective turned private investigator told Good Day NY on Thursday that the FBI and the Aruban government set up an extortion sting of accused killer Joran van der Sloot in Aruba providing him with thousands of dollars.

The money came from the Alabama mother of one of van der Sloot's alleged victims, according to Bo Dietl. He adds that the Aruban government could have held Van der Sloot by charging him with extortion and wire fraud and prevented the murder of another woman in Peru.

The FBI says they did not have enough evidence to arrest Van der Sloot.

The 22-year-old later allegedly killed a woman in Peru. Officials say Van der Sloot admitted to  allegedly smashing her face and strangling her. Formal charges are expected to be filed on Thursday. Officials in Peru say the Aruban killed the woman because she found out about his involvement in the death of Alabama teen Natalee Halloway in 2005. The case remains unsolved.

Dietl, who was called by the attorney for the Halloway family in 2007 to work on the wrongful death lawsuit against the accused killer, told Good Day NY on Thursday that Van der Sloot contacted the lawyer in April.

"(John) Kelly was contacted by Van der Sloot who said my father died and I  want to tell you where the body of Natalee Halloway is buried," said Dietl.  John meets with me. I tell him this is an extortion set up. We contact the FBI office in Alabama. They tell him to tell me to back out,  we'll set it up. They get a warrant with the Aruba government. In a hotel room they give him $10,000 and they wire $15,000 in van der Sloot's name. In that room, he makes admissions he killed Natalee. He said she died, how he was involved with her death and how he got help burying her. The Aruban government did nothing for 180 days they could have held him but they didn't."

Dietl adds that the Aruban government should be taken to task for not holding Van der Sloot in custody after the extortion plot.

"Everyone is pointing fingers at the FBI. What about the Aruban government? He made incriminating statements there. Why didn't they lock him up? How many others did he kill? He is a homicidal maniac."

Van der Sloot attorney says he will try to strike confessionBy the CNN Wire Staff
June 10, 2010 -- Updated 1345 GMT (2145 HKT)


Lima, Peru (CNN) -- The attorney for Peru murder suspect Joran van der Sloot said he's going to ask the judge in charge of the case to strike down his client's confession in the death of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez.

Lawyer Maximo Altez told CNN affiliate Panamericana TV in an interview that aired Thursday that he would challenge the confession because van der Sloot was not being properly represented at the time he was interrogated.

Van der Sloot, a longtime suspect in the disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway five years ago in Aruba, was arrested last week in connection with Flores' slaying.

Flores' body was found in a hotel room registered to van der Sloot. Hotel surveillance video shows the pair entering his room and van der Sloot leaving alone more than three hours later.

Altez said Flores attacked van der Sloot first, after he confronted her for going through his computer. Police said Flores was badly beaten and suffered a broken neck.

Van der Sloot Called "Homicidal Maniac" by P.I.
Beau Dietl: I Was Inside Attempted FBI Sting; I Looked Him in Eye; "This Is a Bad Guy"


(CBS)  A private investigator who was inside the attempted FBI sting of murder suspect Joran van der Sloot says the Dutchman is a "homicidal maniac."

Van der Sloot, 22, is being held in Peru in the death of 21-year-old business student Stephany Flores.

He's also the chief suspect in the disappearance in Aruba five years ago of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway. Van der Sloot was taken into custody and questioned twice in that case, but has never been charged.

Peruvian police say van der Sloot confessed to killing Flores, telling them, reports CBS News Correspondent Elaine Quijano, he did it because she saw information about Holloway on his laptop.

Days before leaving for Peru last month, van der Sloot was targeted by the FBI in the Holloway case.

In April, he allegedly offered a deal to Holloway's mother: He'd disclose the location of her daughter's body in exchange for $250,000.

Private investigator Beau Dietl was brought in by the Holloway family.

He told CBS News van der Sloot "admits to pushing Natalee down, where he hits her head and she dies. That's what he states."

The FBI then launched the sting, Quijano says.

On May 10, van der Sloot was given $25,000, but federal officials say he provided false information about the location of Holloway's body.

The FBI says it didn't move in because its case "wasn't sufficiently developed."

Van der Sloot left Aruba and wound up in Peru, where he's accused of taking Flores' life.

On "The Early Show" Thursday, Dietl took viewers inside the FBI sting.

As he tells it, van der Sloot contacted the Holloways, saying "his father had just died in January and he wants to come clean and he wants to tell everybody where he buried Natalee Holloway" - if they give him $250,000.

Dietl says his firm arranged to meet van der Sloot in Aruba, then let the FBI know what was going on.

It was at that point, says Dietl, that the sting was put together.

And, he asserts, Aruban officials dropped the ball by not arresting van der Sloot - again, before he was off to Peru.

And, Dietl observed, "This guy's been all over the world in the last five years. Thailand, everywhere. This is a homicidal maniac. I've met him. I looked in his eyes. This guy we should be checking Interpol and the FBI should be checking where he's gone all over this world. You've got a serial killer here. I think."

Joran van der Sloot: 'This is a Homicidal Maniac'
Private Investigator Blames Aruban Authorities for Letting van der Sloot Get Away
June 10, 2010


A private investigator who was involved in the extortion sting on Joran van der Sloot called the Dutch playboy a "homicidal maniac" and blamed the Aruban government for not nabbing him when it had the chance.

Investigator Bo Dietl said the mere fact that van der Sloot was videotaped, detailing the demise of missing American teenager Natalee Holloway should have been enough for police in Aruba to detain him before he left the island.

"You have wire fraud, you have extortion, but on top of it you have him making incriminating statements," Dietl said. "They could have popped him on that."


 Police in Peru have said van der Sloot confessed to killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez  while in Lima. His trip to Peru was believed to be financed by money provided by the United States as part of a sting that was designed catch van der Sloot taking money from Holloway's family in exchange for information about her whereabouts.

But even though van der Sloot was videotaped counting the cash, neither Aruban or U.S. authorities charged him. And when he was taken to the site where he'd told authorities he buried Holloway's body, investigators found no trace of her.

Dietl has been quoted as saying van der Sloot was videotaped saying that he pushed Holloway while they were together and that she fell and hit her head and died.

"I met him once," Dietl said of van der Sloot, "and I'm telling you this could be a psychopathic killer that could have killed other people."

The FBI has taken heat in the U.S. for not only letting him go but apparently financing the trip to Peru that ended with Flores' death. The FBI has denied moving too slowly.

"News accounts have also questioned why charges were not brought earlier, so that the tragic death of Stephany Flores could have been avoided," the agency said in a statement released Wednesday "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."

Dietl said that the entire operation, which involved Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty, was put together in hopes of once and for all bringing closure to a five-year-old investigation into Holloway's disappearance.

"This is a mother who wants to have closure with the death of her daughter," Dietl said. "This is what it's all about."

In Peru, van der Sloot is expected to be charged sometime this weekend.

Newly released surveillance video taken shortly after 2 a.m. on May 30, just hours before Flores was killed, shows van der Sloot walking up to a poker table alone. Less than an hour later, Flores walks over to the same table, shakes hands with van der Sloot and sits down next to him.

Police say they had met earlier that weekend. At 3 a.m., casino suveillance video shows the pair laughing and playing cards. A minute later she was seen gesturing to a friend and then leaving with van der Sloot.

Now in a Lima jail, police say he breaks down in tears when he recalls the night of Flores' murder.

Extortion Plot Meant to Nab van der Sloot, Close Holloway Case
 The FBI's Birmingham office has said that it was leading an investigation on May 10 when $15,000 was wired to a Dutch bank for van der Sloot. The money, the FBI said, was supposed to be in exchange for information about what happened to Holloway and the location of her body.

According to reports, van der Sloot was also given $10,000 in cash, and that he was caught on tape counting the cash.

 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 them 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."

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.

Police Give Dutchman Case to Prosecutors
Peru police give Van der Sloot murder case to prosecutors
The Associated Press
LIMA, Peru June 10, 2010 (AP)


Joran van der Sloot 's confession in the murder of a 21-year-old woman — allegedly smashing her face and strangling her — was so complete that police decided there was no need to take him to the crime scene for a walkthrough, according to Peru's criminal police chief.

 The case against the young Dutchman, who also remains the lone suspect in the Natalee Holloway missing-teenager case, goes to prosecutors Thursday so they can file formal charges, said the official, Gen. Cesar Guardia.

"We've practically closed the case," he told The Associated Press. "He's confessed with a wealth of details that have been corroborated through criminal investigative rigor."

Guardia denied any suggestion that Van der Sloot's confession was forced. He said a translator assigned by the Dutch Embassy was present, as was a state-appointed defense attorney.

If tried and convicted on murder charges, Van der Sloot would face from 15 to 35 years in prison.

What remains unresolved is the May 30, 2005 disappearance of Holloway on the Caribbean  island of Aruba.

Efforts by the FBI to try to resolve it may have inadvertently helped fund the travel that enabled the murder — exactly five years to the day after the Alabama teen vanished — of Lima business student Stephany Flores.

Believing it was closing in on Van der Sloot, the FBI videotaped and paid him $25,000 in a sting operation in Aruba last month, investigators told the AP. But it held off on arresting him, and he took the money and flew to Peru.

Peruvian interrogators restricted their questioning of Van der Sloot to the case of Flores, the daughter of a circus promoter and former race car driver whom he met playing poker at a casino, Guardia said.

He told the AP in an interview Wednesday evening that the 6-foot-3 (190-centimeter-tall) Van der Sloot, 22, impressed investigators with both his intelligence and brutality.

Peru police turn Van der Sloot over to prosecutors


"He is irascible. He has no self-control," Guardia said

The general said Van der Sloot took Flores' cash, about US$300 worth of Peruvian currency, and two credit cards.

 Guardia said Van der Sloot attested in his confession to killing Flores because she found out about the Aruba case by using his laptop without his permission. But he said police didn't necessarily believe him and think he may have killed Flores before going out and returning to the room with two cups of coffee and rolls.

"This guy is very intelligent but at times has lapses," said Guardia. "And the truth is that he is not a person in possession of all his senses."

A psychological examination is pending, he said.

Van der Sloot is also getting plenty to eat, Guardia said. "If he wants a steak we give him a steak ... If he wants a cigarette we give him cigarettes."

The evidence against the Dutchman includes hotel security camera video showing Flores and Van der Sloot entering his hotel room together and the Dutchman leaving alone four hours later.

"The incriminatory elements were so powerful that he had to confess," said Guardia.

Van der Sloot confessed, police say, on his third full day in police custody and a full week after he fled into northern Chile. Police said they removed him from their headquaters and took him to the prosecutor's office on Thursday.

He was charged with extortion in the United States on June 2, the day of his arrest in Chile, in a case U.S. law officers and a private investigator say stemmed from work revived in April when Van der Sloot contacted a lawyer for Holloway's mother. The Dutchman was seeking $250,000 in exchange for the location of the young woman's body, they said.

Van der Sloot's father died in February and he "wanted to come clean, but he also wanted money," the private investigator, Bo Dietl, told the AP.

Holloway's family said they wanted closure and the attorney, John Kelly, contacted the FBI. It sent 10 to 12 agents to Aruba who set up a sting operation, added Dietl, who works with Kelly.

In the operation, Van der Sloot was given $10,000 in cash — another $15,000 was wired to a bank account in his name — and told he'd get $225,000 once the body was found, the investigator said.

 Van der Sloot was secretly videotaped by the FBI  in an Aruba hotel telling Kelly he pushed Holloway down, she hit her head on a rock and died, he added.

He said he then contacted his father, who helped him bury the body, Dietl added.

Under surveillance by the FBI, Kelley and Van der Sloot went to where the body supposedly was buried.

No body has been found.

The investigation of Van der Sloot in the Holloway case was simply not far enough along to have him arrested, the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Birmingham said Wednesday.

However, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy  quickly asked FBI Director Robert Mueller for an explanation of "exactly what happened in this case and the basis for all actions taken by the FBI."

The federal criminal complaint in the case says Van der Sloot got a partial payment of $15,000 wired to a Netherlands bank on or around May 10.

It did not say where the money came from.

In a statement Wednesday, the FBI said only that the payment came from private funds. Holloway's mother, Beth Twitty, has refused to discuss details of the case and Dietl said he didn't know the money's origin.

Van der Sloot was the last person seen with her daughter before the girl vanished on the last night of a high school graduation trip. He was arrested twice but released both times for a lack of evidence.

Flores' family was asked Wednesday for comment on the fact that Van der Sloot traveled to Peru less than a week after receiving the cash in the extortion sting.

Enrique Flores, one of the slain Peruvian woman's brothers, said, "My sister is dead, so I can't accomplish anything by thinking about what might have been."

Just in .... Joran van der Sloot

OTR at 10pm producer Kim Rittberg is on the ground in Peru covering the Joran van der Sloot story.  She just emailed me the info below:

Press conference in Lima cancelled. Van der Sloot has been taken, along with the police recommendation of charges, to the prosecutor's office. It's now in the prosecutor's hands. Van der Sloot is no longer officially in police hands. Prosecutor expected to give the report about Joran to the judge sometime today. Once judge receives this he has 24 hours to announce formal charges. We are hearing this will be 1st degree murder charges.

BREAKING NEWS: IT WAS HOLLOWAY ATTORNEY JOHN Q. KELLY WHO SET UP THE MAY 10 STING


Following up on the tip I reported her last week that John Q. Kelly was in Aruba twice in May, sources have now confirmed to me that it was John Q. Kelly, the Holloway family attorney who set up the sting operation on May 10.

Here is how it unfolded:

Sources confirm that the plan started in early April.  Kelly was engaged in email traffic back and forth with Joran van der Sloot for some time prior to Easter Sunday.  Kelly traveled to Aruba on or about Easter, met with van der Sloot and began to set the stage.  Kelly was seeking information as to what happened to Natalee Holloway and was seeking that information for his clients, the parents of Natalee Holloway.  For reasons unclear, Kelly did not get the information on Easter Sunday but returned to the United States and made contact with the FBI.

Kelly, with the FBI, and with the assistance of  Aruban law enforcement, set up the sting operation for May 10.  A hotel room in Aruba and a car were both equipped with videotape equipment so that the crime could be caught on tape.

The plan was to tape van der Sloot extorting money from Beth Holloway via her lawyer.  Van der Sloot was given $10,000 cash (he counted it twice on tape) which is the extortion count and was wired $15,000 (wire fraud count.)  The FBI has all the bank information for the bank transfer.  The method of money transfer - cash and wire - was deliberate part of the plan in order to set up these two crimes.

Once the crime was committed on tape - it was -  the FBI planned to make arrangements to arrest van der Sloot.  The FBI arrest obviously did not happen.  Kelly spent several hours being taped with van der Sloot.  The FBI has the entire tape.  The Aruban authorities do not have the tape.

3 days after Van der Sloot was caught on tape committing the two planned crimes, he boarded a flight from Aruba to Colombia and on to Peru.  The Aruban Attorney General told me that the FBI was warned that van der Sloot was leaving the country but that the FBI did not move.

At no time after he left the country, per my sources, was Kelly told by the FBI that the FBI had "lost" van der Sloot.  Instead, Kelly was - it apears - mislead by the FBI into thinking an arrest was imminent.

After the murder in Peru, the US Attorney in Alabama unsealed an Amended Criminal Complaint charging van der Sloot with extortion and wire fraud (per the original plan.)  What is not known is what was Amended or when the original Criminal Complaint was filed (it was apparently under seal.) Both these pieces of information could be helpful in  better understanding what happened.

What is still not fully explained - is why the FBI did not act.  It appears the crime was "delivered" to them on May 10 and in the best possible manner: on tape.

FBI issues statement about Joran van der Sloot

Joint statement from FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office in Birmingham, AL:


“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 US 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.”

FBI, U.S. Attorney's office respond to criticism on timing of Joran van der Sloot charges
Published: Wednesday, June 09, 2010, 4:23 PM
Updated: Wednesday, June 09, 2010, 4:51 PM


The FBI and U.S. Attorney's offices in Birmingham responded this afternoon to questions about whether if it had acted earlier to charge Joran van der Sloot then the death of a Peru woman might have been prevented.

Van der Sloot confessed to the death of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in Peru. The FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office had filed charges against van der Sloot after his arrest charging that he had extorted money from someone in May in connection with the disappearance of Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway in 2005. Van der Sloot has also been the prime suspect in Holloway's disappearance.

"We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the Flores family," according to the joint FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office statement. "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," according to the statement. "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."
 
The FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office statement also says that some news accounts have suggested that the FBI provided $25,000 that was transmitted to van der Sloot. "This is incorrect. The funds involved were private funds," according to the statement.

The statement said that in April, the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office in Birmingham started 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, according to the statement.

The FBI-led investigation was conducted in conjunction with Aruban authorities and the U.S. Attorney's office filed a criminal complaint charging van der Sloot with extortion and wire fraud on June 3.

Peru murder suspect van der Sloot taken to attorney general's officeBy the CNN Wire Staff
June 10, 2010 12:55 p.m. EDT


Lima, Peru (CNN) -- Peru murder suspect Joran van der Sloot, a longtime suspect in the disappearance of an American teen in Aruba, was transferred from a police facility to the national attorney general's office Thursday morning, according to images broadcast by CNN affiliate America TV.

Van der Sloot's attorney, Maximo Alonso Altez Navarro, told CNN his client will go from the attorney general's office to the Justice Ministry, where a judge will determine which jail he will go to.

Van der Sloot, twice detained but never charged in the disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway five years ago in Aruba, was arrested last week in connection with the slaying of a 21-year-old Peruvian woman in Lima, the nation's capital. He confessed to the slaying earlier this week, police said.

The lawyer said he has spoken with the director of jails in Lima to make sure van der Sloot is safe once he is moved to one of the city's maximum-security prisons.

Altez said he planned to ask the judge in the case to strike down van der Sloot's confession, because he was not properly represented when he was interrogated.

The attorney said police got a public defense attorney to be present at the interrogation and subsequent confession, but that van der Sloot never agreed to this lawyer.


Altez also said he has found indications that the handling of the evidence was tainted, especially the way the body was handled during the crime scene investigation.

He intends to go to trial, Altez said.

The body of Stephany Flores was found last week in a hotel room registered to van der Sloot. Hotel surveillance video shows the pair entering his room and van der Sloot leaving alone more than three hours later.

Altez said Flores attacked van der Sloot first, after he confronted her for going through his computer. Police said Flores was badly beaten and suffered a broken neck.

Van der Sloot confessed Monday night after a seven-hour interrogation to killing Flores, a source with direct knowledge of the investigation told CNN.

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 van der Sloot's return, he found Flores going through his laptop, where she found something linking him to Holloway's disappearance, 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 had smoked marijuana before the confrontation, 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, 22, was arrested in Chile on June 4 and returned to Peru the next day.

While he was never charged in connection with Holloway's disappearance in 2005, he has been charged in Alabama with extortion and wire fraud charges. According to a document from Interpol, van der Sloot contacted a representative of Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway, on or around March 29 to ask for $250,000 in exchange for information on the whereabouts of Natalee Holloway's remains.

Van der Sloot received $25,000 last month, officials said.

A representative for Holloway's mother who paid the money was an undercover FBI agent, a federal law enforcement official told CNN.

However, the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Birmingham, Alabama, said Wednesday that the FBI did not supply the money.

"Some news accounts have suggested that the FBI provided $25,000 in funds that were transmitted to van der Sloot. This is incorrect. The funds involved were private funds," the FBI and U.S. attorney's office said in a statement.

The FBI and U.S. attorney's office in Birmingham arranged for a meeting in which van der Sloot was paid $10,000 in cash and another $15,000 in a wire transfer, a source familiar with the case said. The meeting took place in May, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Birmingham.

Interpol documents show that the $15,000 was transferred to a personal bank account in the Netherlands. The information about Natalee Holloway that van der Sloot provided to the FBI was not true, according to the documents.

Although the investigation involving alleged extortion had been in motion for several weeks at the time of Flores' death, "it was not sufficiently developed to bring charges prior to the time van der Sloot left Aruba," the FBI statement said.

"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," the statement said.

CNN's Mayra Cuevas and Rafael Romo contributed to this report.

Case 2:10-mj-00117-PWG Document 11 Filed 06/10/10 Page 2 of 7

violation ofTitle 18, United States Code, Section 1951(a) and the federal offense of wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1344.

Background

3. On May 30, 2005, Natalee Holloway (hereafter, "Natalee") failed to return to Birmingham from a high school graduation trip to Aruba. Natalee was scheduled to fly home on May 30, 2005, but failed to appear for her flight. She was last seen by her classmates leaving Carlos'n Charlie's, a Caribbean chain restaurant and nightclub in Oranjestad, Aruba, sitting inside a vehicle with van der Sioot and two acquaintances -brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe.

4. When Natalee failed to return home, her mother, Mrs. Twitty, along with her step-father, George "Jug" Twitty, and other friends immediately traveled to Aruba in an effort to ascertain Natalee's whereabouts. Within hours of landing in Aruba, the Twittys provided Aruban police with van der Sloot's name and address, identifying him as the person with whom Natalee had left the nightclub on the previous evening. On June 2, 2005, van der Sloot told authorities that he and Holloway had driven to the California Lighthouse area of Arashi Beach because Holloway wantedto see sharks. He said that he dropped Holloway off at her hotel, the Holiday Inn around 2:00 a.m. V AN DER SLOaT has since made several contradictory statements about what happened to Holloway and his

2


Case 2:10-mj-00117-PWG Document 11 Filed 06/10/10 Page 3 of 7

involvement.

5. In the years following Natalee's disappearance, extensive searches have been conducted on the island of Aruba and in the surrounding waters, with no success. Over time, monetary rewards of up to $1 million have been offered for Natalee's safe return. In addition, rewards ofup to $250,000 have been offered for information leading to the return of her remains.

Scheme

6. On or about March 29,2010, van der 8loot contacted the cooperating witness via email.using the email address (BLANK), During a series of emails that followed, van der Sloot offered to take the cooperating witness to the location ofNatalee Holloway's body, advise the cooperating witness as to the circumstances ofher death, and identify those involved in her death and disappearance in return for a payment of$250,000. Van der Sloot indicated to the cooperating witness that unless Mrs. Twitty paid the money demanded he would not tell where the remains of her daughter were hidden, nor provide any information regarding the circumstances of her death. During a subsequent series of emails,van der 8100t agreed to modify the terms ofhis offer.

For an initial payment of $25,000, he would take the cooperating witness to the location of Nata lee's body. Upon recovery of the body and confirmation that it

3


Case 2:10-mj-00117-PWG Document 11 Filed 06/10/10 Page 4 of 7

was, in fact, the remains ofNata lee Holloway, van der Sloot would be paid an additional $225,000 by Mrs. Twitty. Van der Sloot later emailed his bank account information to the cooperating witness, so that the money could be deposited into his bank account by wire transfer. The information sent by van der Sloot revealed that his account is located at the SNS Bank, located in the Netherlands. While negotiating this deal via email, van der Sloot insisted that a written contract between him and Mrs. Twitty be prepared by the cooperating witness. The contract was to set out the terms of their agreement and be signed by both parties. The cooperating witness drew up the agreement and sent it by electronic facsimile (FAX) from his office in New York to Mrs. Twitty in Birmingham, Alabama. Mrs. Twitty signed the agreement and FAXed it back to the cooperating witness.

7. On April 15,2010, Mrs. Twitty executed a wire transfer of$100 from Regions Bank in Birmingham, Alabama to van der Sloot's bank account in the Netherlands, to confirm that the account was, in fact, a good account. Bank records later confirmed the wire transfer ofthe funds into van der Sloot's account.

8. On May 10,2010, the cooperating witness flew to Aruba to meet with van der Sloot. Before the cooperating witness departed the United States, Mrs. Twitty wire transferred the sum of $1 0,000 from her bank account in Birmingham, Alabama, to the cooperating witness's bank account in New York, so that he could

Case 2:10-mj-00117-PWG Document 11 Filed 06/10/10 Page 5 of 7

withdraw this amount in cash and carry it with him to his meeting with van der Sloot. Once in Aruba, the cooperating witness called van der Sloot, who said he would come to the hotel where the cooperating witness was staying. After van der Sloot arrived, the cooperating witness presented him with the agreement signed by  . Mrs. Twitty. Van der Sloot and the cooperating witness signed two copies ofthe agreement and took pictures of each other signing the agreement. The cooperating witness then gave $10,000 in cash to van der Sloot. This meeting was recorded. Next, the cooperating witness called Mrs. Twitty, who immediately wire transferred $15;000, the balance of the initial payment, from her bank account in Regions Bank in Birmingham, Alabama, to van der Sloot's bank account in the Netherlands. Van der Sloot confirmed to the cooperating witness that the wire transfer had occurred. Van der Sloot also confirmed to the cooperating witness that he used the (BLANK) account.

9. The cooperating witness and van der Sloot got into the cooperating witness's rental carand left the hotel. They drove to a house located at (BLANK).  Once there, van der Sloot pointed to the residence and said that Natalee Holloway'S body would be found in the foundation of the house. The cooperating witness wanted to be certain which house van der Sloot was identifying so he took photographs of the house. Van der Sloot then told the

5


Case 2:10-mj-00117-PWG Document 11 Filed 06/10/10 Page 6 of 7

cooperating witness that van der Sloot's father, Paulus van der Sioot, had disposed of Natalee's body by burying her remains in the gravel under the foundation of the single story house. Vander Sioot went on to admit that he had been with Natalee on the night of May 29/30,2005, and that he had thrown her to the ground after she had attempted to stop him from leaving her. Van der Sloot claimed that when she fell down, she hit her head on a rock and died as a result of the impact. Van der Sloot told the cooperating witness that he hid Natalee's body and then returned home and told his father what had happened. According to van der Sioot , his father accompanied him to the location where van der Sloot had secreted Natalee's body. Van der Sioot returned to the car while his father further ~oncealed the body. Van der Sloot said that a few days later, his father buried Natalee's body under the house van der Sloothad shown the cooperating witness. Van der Sioot added that he had not actually seen his father inter the remains, but was told and
shown by his father where the body was buried.

10. A review by Aruban law enforcement officials of a b~ilding permit for (BLANK) the residence indicated by van derSloot, revealed that there was no foundation or structure on that parcel of land at the time of Natalee Holloway's disappearance. The document indicates that a permit was requested on 5/23/2005, that a permit was approved on 5/26/2005, that a site

6

Case 2:10-mj-00117-PWG Document 11 Filed 06/10/10 Page 7 of 7

inspection was conducted on 6/15/2005, and that the permit was not issued until

10/18/2010. An interview with the contractor who built the house confirms that the house identified by van der Sloot was not under construction at the time of Natalee Holloway's disappearance. Further, investigation discovered aerial photographs which were taken on May 29,2005 and June 5, 2005, that show no construction was underway at the location.

11. After leaving Aruba the cooperating witness exchanged additional emails with van der Sloot. In a May 17, 2010 email, van der Sloot admitted to the cooperating witness that he had lied about the location of Natalee Holloway's remams.

Based on the foregoing I have probable cause to believe that JORAN VAN DER SLOaT has committed extortion in violation ofTitle 18, United States Code, Section 1951(a) and wire fraud in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1344.

Casino Video Captures Meeting of Van Der Sloot, Peruvian 'Victim'
Published June 10, 2010


A security camera in a Peru casino has captured the moment Joran Van der Sloot met the young woman who he has confessed to killing in a fit of rage.

The video shows the 22-year-old Van der Sloot sitting at a card table at the Atlantic City Casino in Lima as Stephany Flores approaches, and the two shake hands. The casino is owned by Flores’ father, an influential politician and former race car driver, Ricardo Flores, Sr.

After chatting and drinking with him, Flores, 21, drove Van der Sloot in her Jeep to the Miraflores Hotel Tac, where they went to his room at about 5:20 a.m. local time on May 30.

Van der Sloot told police he sat on the edge of his hotel bed in Lima, Peru, sipping espresso and munching four sponge cakes just minutes after brutally killing Flores, the New York Post reported Thursday.

Van der Sloot, the man long suspected of murdering Alabama teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba five years ago, told Peruvian detectives he also popped three amphetamine pills to stay alert and ward off the exhaustion he felt from playing poker with Flores at the casino into the early-morning hours before considering whether he could dump the body in the ocean, according to La Republica newspaper in Lima.

"I was going to use one of my suitcases to get rid of the body, but I didn't do it because I was afraid that I would be detained leaving the hotel with my baggage and not paying the bill," he later told cops.

He eventually showered and changed out of the clothes he wore while he was bashing Flores with a tennis racket, and left the hotel room with a backpack containing his laptop computer. He walked out of the hotel room shortly before 9 a.m. local time, leaving behind Flores' body. The corpse was found three days later when hotel workers grew suspicious and entered the room.

A wrapper from a date-rape pill later was found in her abandoned car, according to Flores' father. Police believe that Van der Sloot tried to have sex with Flores in his room but that she rebuffed him by saying she was a lesbian, U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer said. Both of them slept until about 8 a.m. local time, at which time Van der Sloot got up and went out to a nearby restaurant to buy some cakes and two espressos.

When he returned, he discovered Flores looked at his laptop and learned of his ties to Holloway. Van der Sloot told cops he grabbed Flores by the neck and began a beating that ended with her death.

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

He was arrested in Chile one day after Flores' body was found. Authorities there found him in possession of his laptop and a chart indicating the tides in the Pacific off Lima's coast, which led them to suspect he wanted to dump Flores' body in the ocean.

Van der Sloot was quickly extradited to Peru.

On Monday, La Republica reported, van der Sloot spoke to his mother on the phone for 20 minutes, and authorities believe she convinced him to tell the truth.
