<p>Oh yes, her dad is prominent in a country where such things really matter. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t be surprised if he commits suicide rather than stay in their jails.</p>
<p>I don’t know how far his mom’s money will go. I don’t think they are THAT wealthy and she’s not that old (she’ll need her money to live on herself now that her H is gone. I don’t think she had a career of her own.)</p>
<p>The mom had no idea where he was in recent months. She’s horrified at the recent events because it obviously suggests his guilt in the Natalee case. There never was any suggestion that she knew he was guilty in Natalee’s case. She was in the Netherlands when Natalee disappeared. The dad handled the cover-up and she may have been kept in the dark to avoid any “spilling of the beans.”</p>
<p>It’s also been reported that the girl had won $5k in gambling that night, and the money was missing from the hotel room. So, robbery was also a motive - since Joran wanted more money.</p>
<p>LIMA, Peru - A high-ranking Peruvian government official confirmed to NBC News Monday night that Joran van der Sloot confessed to the slaying of a 21-year-old Lima woman.</p>
<p>According to La Republica newspaper, he said that his anger exploded and he broke Stephany Flores’ neck after she grabbed his laptop without his permission, and found out that he was involved in the disappearance of an American woman.</p>
<p>The paper quoted Van der Sloot as saying, “I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life.”</p>
<p>LIMA, June 7 (UPI) – Security surrounding Dutch homicide suspect Joran van der Sloot tightened after prison guards learned of a possible suicide attempt, Peruvian officials said.</p>
<p>Ah, well. It all makes sense now. Someone intrudes into your private life; of course the logical course of action is to proceed to break her neck. </p>
<p>^From the video it does not look like she was trying hard to break into his room, they walked in peacefully together, he did not struggle to get rid of her. He is a serial killer who needs to be erased from the surface of this planet or he will kill again.</p>
<p>In one video, he is shown exiting his room (presumably within a short time after killing her). He’s as cool as a cucumber. What a sociopath. Anyone else would be totally shook up. (or course, anyone else wouldn’t have done it.)</p>
<p>"Indeed, van der Sloot seems to be a killer whose violence erupts from him, rather than the kind of serial killer who methodically and secretively stalks victims and carefully disposes of their remains. He was, after all, seen walking into his hotel room with Flores on a hotel video surveillance camera, and the two had been seen together before the alleged crime. He was known to have spent time with Holloway, as well. Those facts don’t support the kind of methodical stalking of victims that organized serial killers are known for.</p>
<p>Organized serial killers plan their crimes for weeks, months or years. They typically are aware of the internal need to kill. They are known to restrain their victims and bring murder weapons with them to the scenes of their crimes, keeping the weapons with them when they disappear.</p>
<p>Disorganized serial killers (and van der Sloot is apparently one of them) happen upon their victims at random and may be “provoked” to kill not just for the perverse joy of it, but by overwhelming feelings of rage or humiliation.</p>
<p>They often leave murder weapons at the scenes of their crimes and do little to dispose of the physical evidence associated with their crimes. What unites organized and disorganized serial killers, I believe, is a perverse connection with death. Ending life reaches them at a deep level that is connected to their own early and unexplored psychological traumas. The “projection” of their own powerlessness and helplessness and, ultimately, lifelessness is the terrible force that overtakes them—again and again. Alcohol and drugs can contribute to dissolving their defenses and rendering them more likely to be homicidal.</p>
<p>Serial killers — whether organized or disorganized — are always made, never born. Having interviewed dozens of killers myself, I can tell you that it turns out that evil never appears “out of the womb.”…"</p>
<p>They were just discussing his confession on the news, and it sounds like he left to get coffee and when he came back, she was on his computer and had discovered that he was linked to the Natalee disappearance.</p>
<p>I would imagine there was more than just “googling” his name and finding this out since he was very upset about her “getting into his business”. That more suggests that she had found something on his laptop (maybe the extortion stuff and Natalee’s body location) that he was afraid that she could reveal to others.</p>
<p>I would love to see the tape of his confession.</p>
<p>A woman I work with is from Aruba and knows people who know the van der Sloot family. She said that Joran has been “not right” for many years and his family has known about it, even tried to get him help. Guess it didn’t work.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re probably right. That’s if he doesn’t find a way to commit suicide first in order to trump justice and avoid the consequences of his actions.</p>

<p>I would love to see what’s on his computer.</p>
<p>My guess is that the Aruba officials want to see that info, too.</p>
<p>Yes, the Aruba officials are probably shaking in their boots in fear that there is something that will indicate/suggest that the dad used his influence to keep Joran from being prosecuted.</p>
