Extradition of Natalee Holloway's main suspect to US after 18 years.
Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, will be extradited from Peru to the US to face extortion charges for demanding money from Holloway's family in exchange for information on the location of her remains. Holloway was declared dead in 2012, but her remains have never been found. Van der Sloot has been in jail in Peru since 2012 for the murder of Stephany Flores. It is unclear why van der Sloot's extradition is happening now, as he was not expected to be extradited until he completed his 28-year prison sentence in Peru.
