Van der Sloot Confession Leads to New Search in Aruba

Joran Van der Sloot has confessed—to one killing. But as more details in the Stephany Flores Ramirez case leak, new information regarding Natalee Holloway's disappearance may have come to light: Investigators in Aruba are searching near a bird sanctuary. More from the Daily Beast and the Telegraph:

• Van der Sloot may have bankrolled his trip to Peru using money he extorted from the Holloway family.
• Van der Sloot said he met Flores at a poker table; she was up, he was down.
• He discovered her using his computer after going out to get coffee in the early morning; according to a leaked police report, she was looking at a file filled with Holloway-related press clippings and legal documents.

• He allegedly threw Flores around a tiled room, bashed her head on a wooden bed frame, and battered her with a tennis racket.
• He had bloody clothes in his possession when he was arrested in Chile.
• He faces a maximum sentence of 35 years if convicted of Flores' murder.
• He will be transferred to Miguel Castro Castro Prison next weekend, and it's not a pretty place. A human-rights investigation 4 years ago found prisoners were tortured, raped, and left for long periods in pitch-black isolation. Read one horrific account here.
