Members of the media surround Joran van der Sloot, left, as he is escorted by Chilean authorities in Santiago, Chile on Friday, June 4, 2010. The Dutch man was detained Thursday after crossing the border from Peru, where authorities say he's the prime suspect in Sunday's killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores. Van der Sloot was previously arrested in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teen Natalie Holloway, but later released by Dutch authorities.

I knew Chile would round his a$$ up. This over-privleged, entitled sob needs more than just jail time. Totally useless human being.

      earl,

      He has confessed a few times to the Natalie Holloway murder, but had so muddled his different stories that the authorities felt they had nothing substantial. This fellow has in common, with O.J. Simpson, the uncontrollable desire to end up in prison for the rest of his life.
