Joran Van Der Sloot Says He Knows the Location of Natalee Holloway's Body

Magnolia Miller
Today, Joran van der Sloot is saying he knows the location of Natalee Holloway's body. Natalee Holloway, you will recall, disappeared in Aruba, May 30, 2005, while vacationing there for a high school graduation trip. She was last seen with Joran van der Sloot, who has both confessed to her killing and denied it, multiple times.

Mere days before his arrest for the killing of Stephany Flores, Joran van der Sloot was engaged in an extortion scheme to extract $250,000 from the grieving mother of Natalee Holloway, in return for information on her death and the location of her body. Joran van der Sloot has said repeatedly over the last five years that he knows where Natalee Holloway's body is, only to recant afterward.

One can only imagine the excruciating torment Beth Holloway Twitty continues to live with on a day to day basis. Knowing in her gut who holds the key to the location of her daughter's body and all of the details as to how she died, only to have it locked up in the twisted vault of a mind belonging to Joran van der Sloot,

It almost appears at times that Joran is desperate for attention. So desperate in fact, that being despised and thought of as a pathetic killer by the entire world seems completely okay with him. Or maybe his lust for power and control runs so deep into his twisted psyche that he will say or do anything maintain it.

Only time will tell if Joran van der Sloot will actually reveal the whereabouts of Natalee Holloway's body and give the details to how she died. At this point, everyone would agree that Beth Holloway Twitty has suffered enough and probably doesn't care anymore how she died. She merely wants the body of her daughter back so she can bury her and find some sort of closure on what has been, no doubt, a hellish five years of her life.

If ever there was an argument in favor of the death penalty, it is Joran van der Sloot.

    Nothing like Karma coming around and giving you the smack-down.

    Heard an international lawyer talking about this case in a CNN interview the other day. He said this about the Peruvian prison where Van Sloot is likely to serve his time: "So this guy is walking into the gates of hell. He`s going to be in a room occupied by 35 people, a room 25x15 with a hole in the floor as a toilet. There`s going to be Shining Path Guerrilla groups only yards away, where 124 of them got killed one day in a prison revolt. I`ll be frank with you. Knowing that these people here will cut your throat for $10, he may never make it to trial." Sorta gives one hope... (guess I posted this comment in the wrong place)

    He won't get away with it this time, and I think it won't be long before we learn the truth about Natalee's disappearance.
