Peru's government is agreeing to extradite convicted killer Joran van der Sloot to the United States to face charges related to the disappearance an American teen who went missing on a high school class trip to the Caribbean island of Aruba. But only after he completes his prison sentence in South America.
Van der Sloot has 24 more years to go on his prison sentence for murdering Peruvian student 21-year old Stephany Flores. He met her in a Lima casino and killed her – five years to the day after Natalee Holloway was last seen with him leaving a disco on the Dutch tropical territory.
He was long considered a suspect in Holloway’s disappearance, but the body was never found and no charges were ever filed. A judge later declared Holloway to be dead.
But van der Sloot wasn’t done with the Holloway family yet. American prosecutors allege Van der Sloot conned $25,000 in cash out of Holloway's family in exchange for a promise to lead a lawyer for the family to her body in early 2010. Just after that, he absconded to South America.
Joran van der Sloot completes his murder conviction in 2038, and then he will be extradited to the United States to face trial on charges he extorted and defrauded the mother of Natalee Holloway.
