Infamous accused killer Joran van der Sloot has yet to receive a visit from his own mother as he sits awaiting trial in a Peruvian prison, but an American stranger has made the 5,200-mile round trip to van der Sloot’s prison cell — three times.
Not only that: 55-year-old Florida radiologist Mary Hamer has also helped foot van der Sloot’s legal bills; recorded a CD to raise money for his defense; sent him care packages, and written him missives that some might call love letters, but she insists are more spiritual in nature.
“The more I know Joran, the more I see there’s a beautiful person there,” Hamer told NBC’s Michelle Kosinski ...
It’s a strange case of a middle-aged American divorcee bonding with a 24-year-old who’s one of the most notorious men in the world. Van der Sloot was twice arrested in the sensational case of Natalee Holloway... then in June 2010, he was arrested for the murder of student Stephany Flores in Lima, Peru...
While van der Sloot has been described as anti-social by authorities, he’s downright emotional in the letters he writes to Hamer from his cell at Miguel Castro Castro maximum security prison in Lima.
Hamer showed Kosinski a letter van der Sloot had written her, reading “My Guardian Angel, Mary … I’ve got a tear in my eye as I write this letter… I love you … Joran.”
But Hamer says people shouldn’t misconstrue Joran’s words as amorous.
“He’s hurting, he’s struggling, he’s trying to improve,” she told Kosinski.
Hamer, who said she has spent $20,000 on van der Sloot to date, plans to up that tally by attending court in court in Peru when van der Sloot’s trial for the slaying of Flores begins next month.

I’m sure he laughs himself silly at the stupidity of this woman. He’ll milk her for every penny she has.
yikes!! is that her too?
I bet she thinks she still looks like that
ditto
It always amazes me that people can be that crazy and ignorant and still have high paying jobs. You wonder how they made it that far in life with that kind of judgement.
Amazing, he just moves right on to his next victim without batting an eye and while in prison in a foreign country. They said he might get out too...Oh well, chalk up this woman as another candidate for the Darwin awards.
The U.K. paper reports that van der Sloot’s girlfriend was frequently seeing him for conjugal visits, going to his jail cell to do “chores” and bringing him candy.
I swear, what is it about Florida??
That’s about the kind of look I would expect from someone like Lorena Bobbit the second before she goes into amputation mode.
The Arubans I met are nice people and regret Natalie’s disappearance. Tourism is a big part of their economy.
Millions of Americans come and go to Aruba without incident.
She is free to throw her money away on anything or anyone she chooses. However, wasting $20,000 on a psychopathic serial murderer when there are so many worthy causes to donate to is outrageous.
I guess being in a Peruvian prison isn’t so bad. I would have thought that they would make life miserable for this low life.
Exactly! She is free to waste her money and we are free to call her a complete idiot.
I’ve heard you can have a pretty good time there if you have money. “Money” down there means just a few bucks which guards will accept as bribes for all sorts of things.
I think they know he gets lots of publicity and is afraid to treat him like a normal prisoner or they might not even care..The creep should pay for all the murders he did..
Yep... for some media attention.
“Every time. You show me a monster, and I’ll show you a woman heading toward him like a moth to a flame.”
Exactly.
Oy! What a sick, sick lady.
