Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch man once considered a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, is the suspect in the killing of a woman in Peru, Peruvian police officials said Wednesday.

There is "incriminating evidence" linking van der Sloot to the killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez, who was found dead in a Lima hotel room Wednesday, Cesar Guardia Vasquez, of the criminal investigations unit said at a news conference.

Thank you, right after I posted that I remembered his father had passed.....I guess he died unexpectedly.....I wonder if the sins of the son killed the father....

I would love to see this beast spend his days in a Peruvian prison, I don't think they are very nice to their prisoners..........

Hi Mom

[y6162]

Whenever I take my daughter and her friends on vacation, I remind them of the perils of Natalee.

That’s exactly what Natalee’s mother would want.

It brings that sadness back to me too. Such a terrible tragedy. And now another young girl's family must go through the loss of their daughter.

I pray they get him before he manages to disappear.

And now, this. Another thread is reporting that he has committed suicide near the Peruvian border.

It looks like a false report... the website is not a news website and it has run out of bandwidth and has been “turned off” ... LOL ...

Sorry, that one looks to be a hoax ... :-)

[Star Traveler]

Well, now the thread has been pulled ... looks to be a hoax for sure ... :-)

[rabidralph]

Sorry about that. I hope they catch him, quickly.

[Star Traveler]

Just for the record, here's one reference to it and the fact it had been pulled and was apparently untrue ...

Joran van der Sloot Found Dead, Apparent Suicide?

Update: The latest at top - he appears to be in northern Chile, possibly headed for Argentina. It's unclear if the blood splatter in the room was from a beating, or a stabbing. One item I found alleges Stephany Flores Ramirez, age 21, was stabbed. But I'm not seeing confirmation of that.

Update via Twitter: van der Sloot story has been pulled from FR. Sorry if I mislead you.

That's why I posted it with the question mark. Oh well, too bad. There's still hope, or maybe it'll give him an idea.

BREAKING NEWS: Some reports say that Joran van der Sloot, longtime suspect in the disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway five years ago and prime suspect of the brutal stabbing death days ago of 21-year-old Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramirez, has been found dead near the Peru border after allegedly committing suicide.
