5 Harsh Facts About Joran van der Sloot’s Prison Life

Joran van der Sloot became a household name in 2005 when he was the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway (who went missing in Aruba just after her high school graduation). Joran was never charged with the crime (let alone convicted) due to a lack of evidence and a pretty sorry police investigation. However, popular opinion and hidden camera footage of Joran, both say (straight from his own mouth!) that he did, in fact, murder Natalee. Unfortunately, he was a free man, and this left the door open for him to kill again.

5 years later to the day that Natalee disappeared, Stephany Flores was found brutally murdered in Joran’s hotel room in Peru. Stephany was found by a hotel employee, beaten to death, after Joran had already fled the hotel. Thankfully, authorities were not going to let him get away again, and justice for Stephany was served. Joran van der Sloot now resides in the Challapalca Prison, a cold terrible place high in the Andes Mountains in Peru.
