Natalee Holloway was also seen on videotape leaving a casino with Van der Sloot on May 30th - exactly 5 years to the day of Natalee's death. Van der Sloot was arrested by Aruban police numerous times in Natalee's murder, but her body has not been found. He was eventually released.

Van der Sloot arrived in Peru from Argentina on May 13, according to this report. Fox News just reported that Joran left Peru by car, heading for Chile and is believed to be going on to Argentina.

The following video is believed to be Stephany's father, Ricardo Flores. The video is in Spanish. Hopefully, it will be translated shortly.
