JUST IN: The process of transferring Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in Natalee Holloway's disappearance, from Peru to the US begins tonight, a source says
Van der Sloot – the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway – is set to be extradited from Peru to the US to face extortion and fraud charges related to an alleged plot to extort Holloway’s family after her disappearance, Peruvian officials have said. Maximo Altez, van der Sloot’s attorney, received a letter from van der Sloot last week asking him not to appeal his transfer to the US.
Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway, wired $15,000 to a bank account van der Sloot held in the Netherlands and through her attorney gave him another $10,000 in person, according to a 2010 US federal indictment. Once he had the initial $25,000, van der Sloot said he would show John Kelly, the Holloway family attorney, where Natalee Holloway’s remains were hidden, but the information turned out to be false, the indictment states.
