Joran Van Der Sloot Accused of Extortion Over Location of Natalee Holloway's Body

There is such a thing as evil personified and Joran Van Dar Sloot fits that description to a tee.

Hopefully this piece of filth will finally meet justice and Natalee can rest a little easier.



From New York Post:

Joran Van Der Sloot, the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, was accused today of trying to extort $250,000 in return for revealing the location of her body as well as the circumstances of her death.

The U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama Joyce White Vance held a press conference at 5pm local time in Birmingham, Ala. to announce the filing of a criminal complaint charging Van Der Sloot on two counts of extortion and wire fraud.

Vance said that Van Der Sloot had attempted to extort $250,000 from an individual in return for information that was "false and fraudulent."
Van Der Sloot, a 22-year-old Dutch national, was arrested Thursday in Chile in connection with the murder of a 21-year-old Peruvian woman in a hotel room in Lima, Peru.

Vance stated clearly that the case was in no way related to the murder charges currently being brought against Van Der Sloot in Peru.

“They are strangely a coincidence, our investigation has been going on for a period of about six weeks,” Vance told reporters when asked if the timing of the complaint was related to the ongoing murder investigation in Peru.

Van Der Sloot is currently being held in Santiago, Chile, awaiting extradition to Peru.

A copy of the complaint, signed by a Special Agent with the FBI, William K. Bryan, states that “the defendant [Van Der Sloot] did knowingly and wilfully cause another person to wire transfer a partial payment of money ($15,000) from a financial institution in Birmingham, Alabama, to a financial institution in the Netherlands, after representing to the other person that he would provide the location of Natalee Holloway's remains in Aruba and information regarding the circumstances of her death, upon receipt of $250,000 from the other person…”

Natalee Holloway, an 18-year-old high school senior from Alabama, disappeared in Aruba on May 30, 2005, while on a high school graduation trip. Van Der Sloot was arrested twice on suspicion of being involved in the disappearance of Holloway. The resulting investigation into her disappearance caused a media sensation.

Holloway was last seen in a car with Van Der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe in the early hours of Monday, May 30, 2005, the day she was due to return to Alabama. Her body was never found. Van Der Sloot gave a series of bizarre media interviews in which he changed his story, but was released after both arrests and never charged.
