Where is Joran Van Der Sloots Mother and What Her Silence May Be Saying?

Where is the Mother of Joran Van Der Sloot?

Roz Zurko
Joran van der Sloot a serial killer? This is what the Peruvian officials are calling this man who is a suspect in two murders, according to Yahoo News. Van der Sloot was paraded out in front of the media in Peru today by the officials as he was being led outside in a bullet proof vest. Was Joran's mother watching the news as her son was displayed as an alleged murderer for the entire world to see?

Joran's mother has not been seen or heard from in this case, which is very different from the support she gave her son in the Natalee Holloway disappearance case.

Van der Sloot is accused of killing the daughter of a prominent businessman and politician in Peru. The country is very interested in seeing justice in this case. The one person visibly missing in all this is Anita van der Sloot, Joran's mother. She has not even offered a statement.

Is Anita van der Sloot is another victim in this case? As a mother, she must be in pain as she watches the news about her son, although her silence may be saying something in this case that it wasn't in the Natalee Holloway case.

The van der Sloot's, were very visible when Joran was being held in Aruba for the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, especial the father who died last year. Anita van der Sloot, Joran's mother, was not as predominate in the news as his father, but she was seen often. We saw Anita hug her son as he walked out of the jail after his release in Aruba and she appeared to have supported him through the entire legal proceedings.

Today, Greta Van Susteren from Fox News spoke with the authorities in the Joran van der Sloot extortion case in Alabama. The FBI working the case has learned, through the phone calls made by Joran, what may be the truth in the Holloway case. In the phone calls Joran said that he pushed Natalee down and she hit her head and died. Joran contacted his father who came and helped him bury her body. These phone calls were made to Beth Holloway in attempt to extort money from her and in turn she would be told the location of her daughter's body.

If what Joran reported in those phone calls are true, can you imagine what Anita van der Sloot is feeling right now? She must be torn between the love of her son and being the mother of a young man accused of such evil. What does she know about the case of Natalee and why is she staying away from her son this time? This has to be one of the hardest things for a parent to go through.

For all appearances the van der Sloot family looked as normal as the next family on the block in their home in Aruba. Something changed that night in May 2005. If what Joran reported to the FBI is true, his father was an accomplice in the Natalee Holloway case. When his son went to him for help after killing the young girl, the father got rid of the body. Did the ease of getting away with that crime make committing another crime possible?

Was a monster created that night in May 2005, by a parent who took the wrong road trying to protect his son? Is the surviving parent suffering from that decision made that night realizing it was just the beginning? Again, if what the FBI has learned about the death of Natalee Holloway is true, that mistake made five years to save a son from prison time may have caused another young girl her life. How is Anita van der Sloot dealing with this today?

    Thanks god this time he can't get off the hook. My sympathy goes to the families of the victims. Joran, the mama boy, was spoiled and transformed in a monster by his family, and Dutch Judiciary system and Government. He thinks that is very smart, and is in full disregard for others. For the disappearances of Natalee, the Dutch government covered up the Joran's crime, and they are as guilty as him. The Peruvians are Kind and Nice people, but they won't tolerate this macabre crime. This is something that they can't swallow. Peruvians are going to spit Joran's body at least in two PIECES.

    Why are people not talking to their sons from infancy on how to behave and how to treat a woman and other human beings? Do they think they are going to learn this on their own? Raising children with no moral boundaries is a recipe for disaster. They turn out to be sociopaths with absolutely no moral conscience.

    May 2005 was not when his isses began, it was only the beginning of the world knowing the true monster mommy and daddy raised. At the very least they must have failed to teach their son that there are real consequences to his choices. Maybe they even condoned physical abuse of women..even murder. He obviously has issues with women which makes me curious about his true relationship with his mother.

    She has been conspicuous by her absence. Apparently, he stopped talking with his parents at some point, or so he says.

    I dunno. But, talk about Karma coming back around and biting you right on your big, fat, butt. Joran and OJ would have a lot to talk about that wouldn't they? Sooner or later......sooner or later......it always comes back around.
