as it is getting closer to birmingham. here s a quick peek at what he looked like smiling after decades and a peruvian person. he is held there in the death of a difference a young woman. after the natalie holloway case. smiling as he mugged for the cam is a little bit in peru. he is charged are being brought back here because he is being charged with trying to extort a quarter of a million dollars from the family as he dangled leads to finding her body to them for money. and it led to nothing. but more heartbreak for the holloway family. their daughter natalie was 18 years old when she vanished during a graduation trip in aruba. in 2005. her body was never found. ted williams is life in birmingham, alabama where the family is from and where vandersloot s plane is about to arrive. tj ward worked for the family has a private investigator during this case in aruba, following up on those leads that lead nowhere at that time. geraldo rivera covered this case extensively for fox n
