he is extradited back to peru. there is a trial planned but before the trial kicks off he pleads guilty. i traveled to peru where grn reporter dan showed me joran s handwritten confession. he as saw this email referred to him and found out about the previous natalee holloway s case and his involvement in that. i hit her in the face right above her nose. he grabbed her by the neck. with both hands. and i strangled her for about one minute. so i took my shirt and i put it on her face and pressed hard to the point where i killed her, the point where i killed stefanie. he actually suggests to the police that he would be willing to cooperate with the aruban authorities to locate the body of natalee. that s big of him. joran confessed to the murder of stephany flores because there was a body and there was so much evidence that it was impossible for him to come up with his
mistake. probably the biggest mistake of my life. at that point it s just i wasn t thinking that, you know, probably wasn t thinking clearly like something you know thinking something bad might have happened to her, you know. wasn t thinking clearly didn t want anything, you know, to do with that. i just wanted to get away from it, you know, as fast as possible. there was no evidence that natalee was ever left on that beach. all we wanted to do was get on a plane and go search the field of aruba. that s all we wanted to do. we weren t allowed to do that. back home in mountain brook, natalee s friends found another way to help. we would just sit these bracelets in gallon size bags and put them in a box. hope for natalee bracelets. did you wear one? yes. okay good, great. hang on.
alabama turned frantic. that must have been the ride from hell you have got a missing child. yeah. once i knew that i had to get to aruba and i had to get there that day. and i began calling my friends from home who might know private pilots. beth also talked to some students still waiting to fly out of aruba, they told her natalee was last seen with a guy named joran. friends quickly managed to have a private plane made available. beth, her husband and some friends were in aruba by 11:00 p.m. that night. we hit the ground running. that s what i thought. hit the hotel, stopped there and then where did you go? carlos n and charlie s. no one at the bar was any help so they returned to the holiday inn. the hotel manager was great and trying to figure who this guy was. she actually came up with his name. we had part of it and she finished it for us the sleuth.
flores. that was meeting natalee holloway back in aruba. the two become chummy. they get to know each other. they play poker. may 20th, 2010 a security camera shows joran seated at a car table gambling and shaking hands with 21-year-old business student stephany flores. stefanie and joran leave this casino together. it s the last time anybody saw stefanie alive again. on the ath anniversary of natalee s disappearance in aruba, joran took stephany flores to his hotel room and murdered her. police believe the motive is probably robbery. essentially torturing her trying to get the pin numbers from her atm cards toe could fuel his gambling addiction. she is left just beaten up, half dead on the floor. stephany flores dead body was found three days later. joran is eventually captured. he has fled peru. he has gone into chile but
by her fourth day in aruba, beth was exhausted. i hadn t slept, i hadn t eaten, i hadn t bathed. with her daughter having vanished and not a scrape of evidence on behalf of the state of beth holloway was near the breaking point. you went to a chapel at some point. it was 5:00 a.m. i told the taxi driver to take me to a church or take me to a chapel or just somewhere that i could pray. the driver took her here to the alta vista chapel. the road to the chapel was lined with crosses. i had her senior portrait with me and started walking. there was a large white cross. when i got to the cross, i just fell to my knees and began to cry and was praying and just begging god to give her back to me. and it was probably like the fifth or sixth cross that the answer to my prayers
