Joran Van der Sloot not consistent with story, will it change again?
After officials caught Van der Sloot in Chile, he denied the claims against him. Van der Sloot originally told officials in Chile that Stephany Flores died when robbers, who were waiting in the hotel room attacked them. He later changed his story to describing a gruesome death of Flores. According to CNN, Van der Sloot told Peruvian police; “With my right elbow I hit her in the face exactly on top of the nose. I think she started to faint. It affected me so that I grabbed her from the neck and strangled her for a minute. After I responded with hitting her, I feared that she would go to the police and they would detain me for what was an impulsive act. I think I wanted to kill her because I wasn’t thinking.” Joran Van der Sloot said. Will Joran Van der Sloot give the judge another version during questioning?
What if Joran Van der Sloot is convicted?

Attorney Maximo Altez has told the press; Joran Van der Sloot’s statement in court will focus on how his rights were violated during the investigation. Altez, recently stepped down from being Van der Sloot’s attorney because he feared for his own life.

Joran Van der Sloot fears for his life?

But, according to CBS’s news interview with Larry Levine, the young Dutchman has every right to fear for his life. Levine told CBS, prisoners will be lining up to kill Van der Sloot. Stephany Flores came from a very well known family, one call, and he is a dead man.”

Will Joran Van der Sloot survive to tell what happened to Natalee Holloway?
Joran van der Sloot may not make it to his questioning with the Aruba officials, about Natalee Holloway? Not if he is turned loose in the Peruvian prison. The family of Natalee Holloway just wants to know where their daughters body is, and what exactly happened. Any human being would want to know this.
