JORAN VAN DER SLOOT

Justice triumphs. Sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes it is not perfect in form. But one way or another, it evens the score.

 

Remember Joran van der Sloot? He was the Dutch citizen living in Aruba in 2005 when an American citizen disappeared. She was a young lady on holiday. Her name, Natalee Holloway.

 

Her disappearance received international media attention. The suspicion, then and to this day, is that Natalee was murdered and her body hidden. Her body has yet to be recovered.

 

Joran and two of his friends were taken into custody in connection with Natalee's disappearance. The two friends were never prosecuted. Charges were dropped because of a lack of evidence. Joran was taken into custody and/or arrested several times. In each instance, the charges were withdrawn because of a lack of evidence.

 

Recently, Joran plead guilty to a murder in Peru. A 21 year old Peruvian lady. Flores Ramirez. He admitted strangling her in a casino hotel room.

 

Joran has been sentenced to 28 years in jail for the murder.

 

There are charges pending against Joran in the United States. The United States apparently is intending to extradite Joran for his Aruba conduct. Wire fraud and extortion. It is alleged Joran contacted Natalee's mother and offered to tell her where Natalee's body was buried for $25,000. Some money changed hands. The body was not found.

 

Bottom line. Justice has a way of triumphing. Not necessarily for the crime one may want. But for some crime. Then Justice has its day. Remember O.J.Simpson.
