A 54-year-old Manhattan man was arrested after he allegedly raped and gave drugs to a 14-year-old girl who overdosed in a New York City hotel room, according to prosecutors.
of all f.b.i. criminal investigations. this case popped up on my radar. director mueller at the time was very plugged into it. he asked if we could send divers to aruba to dive for her in a cove that had high currents and a lot of shark activity. i think it is highly we thought at the time and we still do, it s highly likely that van der sloot met her at the casino, slipped her date rape drugs. she had an overdose incident with the drugs and dumped her body in the ocean. that s the working theory and i think it s a very strong working theory. but this case has had so many twists and turns since then as you well know. he was accused of human trafficking in thailand for a while. he has been in chile, back up to new york, finally arrested in peru for a murder of a young woman with a tennis racket down there. this guy is a serial predator.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has developed Japan's first rapid test kit for determining whether a sex crime victim has been given a so-called date rape drug.
