Joran Van der Sloot Charged: Stephanie Flores Murderer Won't Face Extortion Charges Over Natalee Holloway In U.S. For 26 Years? [PHOTOS]
The last person known to have seen missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway alive will likely not face charges he extorted money from her family for another 26 years, according to news reports.
Joran Van der Sloot, 26, will not be extradited to the United States to face extortion charges for tricking Holloway's mother into providing him money in exchange for false information about her daughter's whereabouts.
Van der Sloot still remains as the chief suspect in Holloway's disappearance, which dates back to 2005 when she and 100 other classmates from Mountain Brook high school traveled to Aruba to celebrate their high school graduation. She was last seen leaving an Aruban nightclub with Van der Sloot and two other men in the early morning hours of May 30, 2005, and has since been declared legally dead, though her body has never been found. Though a suspect, Van der Sloot has not been charged with her disappearance.
However, he cannot legally face the extortion charges until he has finished serving a 28-year murder sentence in Peru for the 2012 slaying of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in his Lima hotel room.
Van der Sloot was convicted of murdering Flores after investigators believe she found something relevant to the Holloway case on his computer. He is also serving time for stealing her belongings, including more than $300 in Peruvian currency, her credit cards, and her van in an attempt to flee the country.
Though the reports have never been fully confirmed, Van der Sloot may have also fathered a child in Peru while serving his sentence. According to The Huffington Post back in 2012, he had reportedly fathered a son with a woman identified as Leydi Figueroa Uceda during an unsupervised conjugal visit, though no DNA test has been done to prove Van der Sloot is the father.
It was also reported back in May 2013 that Van der Sloot was planning to marry Uceda.
If he obtains Peruvian nationality because of his reported child and marriage, extradition to the U.S. could be resisted.
