The plot thickens in regard to Dutchman poker star Jordan Van der Sloot who it is alleged was given cash by the FBI as part of a sting operation by agents investigating the death of American teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005. However Van der Sloot fled to South America with the cash, which was between $15,000 and $25,000 depending on which newspaper you read, where he has been seen on the poker circuit in Peru.
Whilst in Peru, he is alleged to have murdered business student Stephany Flores, 21, the daughter of a Peruvian circus impresario and former race car driver. She was found beaten to death, with her neck broken, in the Dutchman’s hotel room. Police said the two met playing poker at a casino and the Peru chief police spokesman said Van der Sloot had confessed to the Flores killing.
