It was around two am and she wanted 19 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: to stay there, so I left her there alone.

It was unbelievable 45 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: that just one every step they took trying to get 46 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: this investigation underway, it was on some level impeded, as 47 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: he said, because he had special privileges on the island, 48 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: and confusing, and it was it was just like unwrapping 49 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: this really really complicated package that we're still unpacking.

Natalie. A mother's desperate plea for her missing 58 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: daughter Natalie Holloway was among more than a hundred seniors 59 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: on a graduation trip to a Ruba. They're just typical 60 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: high school girls out on the beach, on the beach, 61 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: having a good time on their senior trip. There's nothing unusual. 62 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: Thousands and thousands of kids go on senior trips every 63 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: summer and they should. I mean, these are these kids 64 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: are growing up. Marcia Twitty is Natalie's aunt. She says 65 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: nobody seemed to notice that when the friends left the nightclub, 66 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: Natalie wasn't with them. Everybody thought everybody had each other 67 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: because there's a bunch of them, a bunch. It wasn't, 68 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, twenty or so. There's a whole bunch of kids, 69 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: and they all kind of, you know, went in with 70 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: the bed that night. It wasn't until people started waking 71 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: up Monday morning ready to return to Birmingham that they 72 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: realized she was missing. And of course, practically one year 73 00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: to the day later, another young girl and dad at 74 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: the hands of yourn Vander salute Stephanie Tassiana Flora ass 75 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: a gorgeous young girl, meets him into casino. By the 76 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: time he's done with her, she's dead and the floor 77 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: of his hotel room. He even goes out for coffee 78 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: in a Danish and comes back to the room and 79 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: drinks the coffee and eats the Danish about two feet 80 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 1: away from her dead body on the floor. But how 81 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: did Natalie Holloway seemingly slip through everyone's fingers? Take a 82 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: listen to her friend Francis. Natalie's friend, Francis was staying 83 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: in an adjacent room. What do you feel like Monday 84 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: morning when you guys were all getting ready to go 85 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: and you realize that she wasn't around. We immediately knew 86 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: something was wrong because her roommates knocked on my door 87 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: and said that they didn't know where she was. We 88 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: went straight to the chaperones and they immediately started working 89 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: on it. They suspected Natalie was still on the island 90 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: because in her room they found her luggage, found her 91 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: passport right, but no Natalie. Aruban authorities have been joined 92 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: by the FBI in the search. So far, that has 93 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: been little to go on. Three Eruben students did tell investigators, though, 94 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: that they dropped Natalie off that night at her hotel, 95 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,559 Speaker 1: But something about that story doesn't sit right with Natalie's aunt. Well, 96 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: it certainly didn't sit right, and that story quickly changed. 97 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: Right now we know yourn Vanderslute is sitting in a 98 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: jail in Peru for the murder of Stephanie Tasciana Flores, 99 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: another young girl he killed. I believe to the day 100 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: that Natalie goes missing. Joining me, Raul D. Manchanda attorney, 101 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: international law expert, author of a book series, Deep State 102 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: Defector Roll thank you again for being with us. Explain 103 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: to me the legal mechanics about how yourn Vanderslut can 104 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: ever be brought to justice for Natalie's murder. In this 105 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: case was a hallmark case in the sense of international law, 106 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: and it kind of held up foreign investigatory bodies to 107 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: a scrutiny and the standard maintained by the US. The FBI, 108 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: for example, Secret Service had gotten involved because they were 109 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: so frustrated with the relative slowness and laxity of the 110 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: local Uruban investigation. And I really believe in retrospect, Hindsite, 111 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: that all the stuff that happened the Peruvian angle, you know, 112 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: all these other issues really are sort of an offshoot 113 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: of the you know, really lack of ability in the 114 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: first forty eight as they would say, to really get 115 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: a handle on this case. It seemed to me that 116 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: this you know, like you said, there was issues about 117 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: the judge being his father, there was corruption issues, maybe 118 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: assistance by local police departments or investigatory bodies, and this 119 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: case really just ran away from the local investigations. And 120 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: now look at where we are. I mean, he's sitting 121 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: in Peru, you know, in a jail. Another other woman 122 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: has been you know, murdered because of this. So this 123 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: guy really needed to be dealt with in the first 124 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: forty eight especially the evidence. So remember back then we 125 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: had discussed this um. The other issue is, you know, 126 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: in terms of extradition to the US, if there's a 127 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: nexus to the United States, which there seems like there 128 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: is with this extortion money, which he you know, he 129 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: received the money and then now spending it, would that 130 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: would be enough for a personal and subject matter of 131 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: jurisdiction and in which case, I mean, if there's enough 132 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: energy behind it, they could issue a warrant. And I 133 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: think that that actually did take place. So there is 134 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: certainly enough of a jurisdictional nexus between the United States 135 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: and the individual as well the crime that took place, 136 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: because there is a sufficient nexus there, So we need 137 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: to be a stretch. What Royal de Manshonda is talking about, 138 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: renowned attorney and author of a book series Deep State Defector, 139 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: is for instance, let's just use Jackie Howard again, who's 140 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: here in the studio looking guilty about something. Let's just 141 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: pretend she robs a gas station in Pennsylvania and then 142 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: leaves the state she was just pretend end is a 143 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: citizen of California. Can Pennsylvania drag her back to be tried. Yes, 144 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: they can, because there's subject matter jurisdiction. They have a 145 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: right to prosecute crimes that happen in Pennsylvania. The subject 146 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: would be the armed robbery. Personal jurisdiction would be can 147 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: they make her comeback? Can they extradite her back? Yes, 148 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: because she has sufficient contacts in Pennsylvania and that she 149 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: went there and robbed a gas station. I'm pretty sure 150 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: that was you, Jackie Howard. So that's what Rollman China 151 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: is talking about, that the US could conceivably extradite You're 152 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: in Vanderslup. So in that line of reasoning, under a 153 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,599 Speaker 1: very very famous case International Shoe, which went all the 154 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: way to the the US Supreme Court, there are sufficient contacts 155 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: for your in Vanderslout to come back to the US 156 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: and be tried in connection with Natalie's death. He to 157 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: US citizen, and it would have to be proven he 158 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: had enough contacts in the US to do it. Time 159 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: stories with Nancy Grace to Chingasaus, who has been in 160 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: the prison where Vanderslut was housed. How is it that 161 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: your Vanderslut has managed to have constical visits behind bars, 162 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: get a woman pregnant and now they're marrying. You know, Nancy, 163 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: when I was in Castro Castro, the prison environment, the 164 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: prison rules and regulations, they are so different. Their philosophy 165 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: is you keep the crime outside, you build a new 166 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: life literally right at this point inside. And so there 167 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: are conjugal visits they can have that families can bring 168 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: in homemade food. They wear their street clothes in the prison. 169 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: Of course, I happen to see some knives come out 170 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: of those street clothes they're walking around in there. But 171 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: it's just a totally different environment. So this is this 172 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: is not unexpect You are listening to HLM to Ann Emerson, 173 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: did we c iv ABC for Charleston Reporter and tell 174 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: me about your Vandersut's life behind bars in Peru.

He said 180 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: that the prison official at the original prison had him 181 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: moved to even Um, a more maximum security prison higher 182 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: up in the Andes. Uh. He also said that he 183 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: had a cell phone from one of the prison officials. 184 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: So you we've seen pictures of him. Well, hold on, 185 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: an Emerson, it can't be that maximum security because he 186 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: got somebody pregnant. He was in jail. You're absolutely right. 187 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: And this woman, from what I understand, she was coming 188 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: into the prisons selling goods. Is the way it was 189 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: described and reported. This was a woman who had been 190 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: coming in and selling things to officials, I suppose guards, 191 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: the and and somehow she was able to get close 192 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: enough contact to have a relationship with the Anderslute. Well 193 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: wait a minute, Ann Emerson joining me WCIVABC for Charleston. 194 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: What was she selling to people behind bars? Because you 195 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: know it wasn't just a jail officials. There's probably to 196 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: anybody that could afford it. Well, what we what we've 197 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: been been reported so far is that it was just 198 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: uh thing. This was a woman who was, for all 199 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: intensive purposes allowed to be in that prison. And because 200 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: we know who she is and she hasn't been arrested 201 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: for being in that prison, so obviously it was under 202 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: the prisoners the guards request that she was there. But 203 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: what we do know is that she has now said 204 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: that she got pregnant and they got married in twenty fourteen. 205 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: They even from what I understand, Mary, the name of 206 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: the child is, she's named after You're in Vanderslute's grandmother. 207 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we just heardman trying to state that your 208 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: Banderslute got an extortion money. What's he talking about, Ann 209 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: Emerson extortion money? Well, what happened was he had contacted 210 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: a lawyer, uh from Best Holloway Twitty. She was remarried 211 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: and Best Twitty would had contacted a lawyer on her 212 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: side and had said that he had information. Now this 213 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: is when he was in a Ruba and when he 214 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: wanted to uh, he wanted to give them the where 215 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: their daughter's remains were. He said he knew where her 216 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: remains were and for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars 217 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: that information could be theirs. Uh so, but I don't 218 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: think at any point the mother was looking to get 219 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: some to get the truth out of him, because he 220 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: had been so untruthful all of these years. It was 221 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: just lie after lie. This is about actually trying to 222 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: catch your in Vanderslute, and get him and bring him 223 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: to justice. And this extortion plan was walks that just 224 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: going all the way with the FBI, trying to make 225 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: sure that they got him. Now we're talking about two 226 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars. She actually did a test 227 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: about the wire that he asked for to transform money, 228 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: and she spent out. She just sent one hundred dollars 229 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: to see if it actually worked, and it did, and 230 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: that sort of that was the catalyst to kind of 231 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: go into this whole wire fraud extortion scheme and esteem 232 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: with the FBI. They set it up. They got ten 233 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to Vanderslute, They were transferring fifteen thousand dollars 234 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: and that was the deal, twenty five thousand dollars ahead 235 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: of time. Somehow Vanderslute gets the money and escapes Aruba 236 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: with best money. He's now on his way to another 237 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: our country and they don't have Vanderslute. And of course 238 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: now we know what he did with that money and 239 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: where he ended up. So your Vanderslute with twenty five 240 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollars from Beth Holloway twenty Doctor Bethany Marshall, psychoanalysts 241 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: joining me out of Beverly Hills.

Well, only that, Nancy. 268 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: Compound that with the fact that they probably had to 269 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: give up their jobs, They probably lost relationships within their 270 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: community because they couldn't keep in touch with friends. Their 271 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: whole life was organized around the search for their daughters. 272 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: So you're right.

After forty eight hours, the propensity to 336 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: solve the crime, lessons with every hour thereafter, And to 337 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: Karen Smith, forensics expert, the founder of Beer Bones, consulting 338 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: Karen Smith to this day, we don't really know what 339 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: happened to Allie Holloway. Ultimately, you're in Vanderslute changed his story. 340 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: There was a wire put in an suv he was in, 341 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: and he's of course speaking in Dutch, the language at 342 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: Neville and Antilles, including Aruba, and he basically said she 343 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: started foaming at the mouth and shaking, and she died 344 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: on the beach. He said he rejected sex with her 345 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: and just left. That's base generally. I mean, he's told 346 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: so many different stories. I may be crossing the wires. 347 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: But will we ever really? No, we can't count on anything. 348 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: Vanderslout says, First of all, you think he would say 349 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: no to sex with Natalie Holloway. No, I firmly believe 350 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: he slipped something in her drink at Carlost and Charlie's. 351 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: She had never left before with unknown men ever in 352 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: her life. She's just a kid. And I think that 353 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: she was killed or died on the beach and that 354 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: he raped her. Listen, that's a completely plausible explanation and yourn. 355 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: Vanderslout has given story after story and false lead after 356 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: false lead. He was toying with police and he continues 357 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: too to this day. You know, Natalie Holloway, I don't 358 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: know that her remains will ever be found. At this point, 359 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: it's been almost fifteen years. Aruba is a very small 360 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: island off the coast of Venezuela. It's only twenty miles 361 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: long by six miles wide in United States peak, that 362 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: is a relatively small area for a search. You have it, obviously, 363 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: it's an island. It's surrounded by beaches, surrounded by water, 364 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: so there is a lot of ground to cover. But 365 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: like Stephen Lampley and Raoul said, the first forty eight 366 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: were critical. I'm not going to say any ball was dropped. 367 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: I know that they used a lot of resources to 368 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: try and find her. But what really frustrates me is 369 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: the fact that you have this American student who goes missing. 370 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to say eight to twelve hours passes before 371 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: they realize that she's missing, and then all of the 372 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: resources that were put toward her search. I don't know 373 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: that they went to the areas that were accessible by car, 374 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: where they accessible on foot. We don't know if you 375 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: were in. Vandersloot was telling the truth that he was 376 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: with these two other men and they drove somewhere or 377 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: did they walk somewhere, So that whole pattern of a 378 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: search area, I don't know how that was worked from 379 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: the beginning. Well, we know they left. Let's go to 380 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: Ann Emerson w CIV ABC for Charleston and again thanks 381 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: for being with us. And they left carloson Charlie's and 382 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: a small car and Jorn Vanderslut was with Natalie Holloway 383 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: and two other guys, the Calpo brothers, and that's the 384 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: last she was seeing alive and Emerson. What have been 385 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: Jorn Vanderslout's changing stories over time? You know, he has 386 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: been moving these stories according to what seems to suit him. 387 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: He has claimed that that she well, let's let's start 388 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: where where he where? He said he started at the 389 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: very beginning, Nancy, and it's the first time we hear 390 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: from him. He told investigators that he dropped her off 391 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: at the hotel and that she had stumbled back when 392 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: she was getting out of the car, and that two 393 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: men that were dressed in what he thought were security 394 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: guards uniforms helped her up, but he had just left her. 395 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: He saw her sort of stumble out of the car 396 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 1: and he drove off with his two buddies who were brothers. 397 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: Oh and I remember, don't you remember? I remember this though, 398 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: I like it was yesterday. Ro Manshonda that the security 399 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: guards first came under suspicion, just like Ann Emerson is saying, 400 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: because Jorn Vanderslout said they helped her, she was last 401 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: spotted with them. They came under suspicion. Remember that there 402 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: could have been innocent people going to jail. And everybody's 403 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: saying the authorities helped. The authorities did not help. They 404 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: didn't do a darned thing in a Ruba's right. That's right, 405 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: And that's goes to what we talked about earlier that 406 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: just too much time was given, too many stories were vetted, 407 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: too many It was just trial and error, and you 408 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: got that judge kind of ring leading the whole thing, 409 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, and these investigators, who do you think they're 410 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: beholden to? You think they're beholden to the foreign media, 411 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: foreign long person. Now they're they're beholding to the power 412 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: struck of that particular island, which is extremely small and 413 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: close knit, and so everyone's got a finger in their pockets, 414 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: and everyone's got you know, everyone's talking for each other, 415 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: and the stories are getting vetted and revetted and change 416 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: it over again, and absolutely a disastrous investigation. And that 417 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: was what we were talking about when it first happened, 418 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, and this is Look, look what's happened today. 419 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: We've got a fruit of the Poison Street in a 420 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: sense of a terrible investigation, just out of control, just crazy. 421 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: What happened? What went wrong with that investigation? Steve Lampley? 422 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: Where did it go wrong? I mean, of course it 423 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: started off wrong. Well, that's right, it did start off wrong, 424 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: and that pretty much set the stage for the rest 425 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: of the investigation. We go back to the first forty 426 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: eight Once you saw forty eight hours, you know, you 427 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: take what you get about at Karen Smith. If you 428 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: started Carlos and Charlie's where she was last seen. You 429 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: talk to the people that were there that night. Did 430 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: you see her leave? Did you see who she was with? Yes, 431 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: she was with three men. She got into a car. 432 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: Where did that car go? We're dealing with two thousand 433 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: and five. There weren't cameras around like they're are now, 434 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: can't we can't go anywhere without being on camera. In 435 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: two thousand and five, it wasn't like that, So you 436 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: would have to just take the investigation from Carlos and 437 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: Charlie's and branch out from there. You know, how long 438 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: was Yourn Vanderslout gone? How long were these other two 439 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: men gone? You can get a radius to start a 440 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: search all of those things. It seems like that ball 441 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: was just dropped from the get go Prime stories with 442 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: Nancy Grace when you use this stunning to hear that 443 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: your on Vanderslout may have killed another young woman five 444 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: years to the day after the disappearance of Natalie Holloway. 445 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: Stephanie Flores was the only daughter in a family of 446 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: voice and she was truly her father's pride and joy. 447 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: Riccardo Flores is a well known figure in Peru. He's 448 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: a I'm a race car driver. He had been a politician. 449 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: Stephanie and her father had a very tight bond. She 450 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: wanted to be a businesswoman and an entrepreneur like her father, 451 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: and he fostered that they were cut from the same cloth, 452 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: and everybody in the family knew that. On June second, 453 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: twenty ten, Stephanie Flores has been missing for three days. 454 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: Her distraught family has been searching everywhere, and then sadly, 455 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: she is found dead by an employee in the hotel tap. 456 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: You are listening to our friends at ABC five years 457 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: to the day after Natalie Holloway disappears, Van der Sleet 458 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: Bludge and Stephanie Tassiana Flores to death an Alima hotel room. 459 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: To Anne Emerson w CIV, ABC four Charleston, as I 460 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: recall it, Stephanie met him. Beautiful brunette girl dad a 461 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: business person very well respected in the area, meets him 462 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: at a casino and they hit it off. They go 463 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: back to his hotel room for a few drinks. He 464 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: catches her online looking him up, and we believe she 465 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: questioned him, questioned about Natalie Holloway, and he bludgets her dead. 466 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: That's basically what happened, probably raped her two, but that's 467 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: what happened. As I recall to Stephanie Taciana Flora's Ann Emerson, 468 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: what do you know? You know? And it's interesting because 469 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: there's also a theory that once again he was trying 470 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: to flect the responsibility of this murder somewhere else. It's 471 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: considered the coffee. The coffee story is that he goes off. 472 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: Talked about this earlier. He had gone off to get 473 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: a cup of coffee, and he comes back with the coffee, 474 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: but he says that he got locked out of his 475 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: room and he asked for somebody. Reportedly, he asked for 476 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,719 Speaker 1: somebody at the front dusk to walk him back up 477 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: to the hotel room and led him in with the 478 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: idea that maybe suspicion could go in a different direction, 479 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: right because something's already happened to Stephanie Laras in that 480 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: room and he knows it. But he but supposedly that 481 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: door doesn't open all the way and he doesn't get 482 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: his wish, so he just decides to move on and 483 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: then ends up. We do get a confession from him. 484 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: He says he does say that he killed her, but 485 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: he tries to take that back. He also tried to 486 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: take back that confession from what we understand from the judge, 487 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: but the judge said it was valid and he was 488 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: gonna he was gonna stick to it. We are talking 489 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: about the disappearance of Natalie Holloway, who I firmly believe 490 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: has long been dead. There are many other investigations as 491 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: to whether she was sold into sex trafficking, whether she 492 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: was being held hostage. I don't think any of that 493 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: is true. Rule de Manchanda joining me, international law expert, 494 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: author of a book series Deep State Defense. What is 495 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: life like for him and that Peruvian prison. Well, you know, 496 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's not gonna be great. But at the 497 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: same time, you know, it is a South American situation, 498 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: probably you know, in the outskirts of the country where 499 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of corruption. Rights of corruption is there 500 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: as opposed to an American federal or statement, which of 501 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: course obviously has its own But I'm sure out there, 502 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: because his father was a judge, I'm sure his reach 503 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: goes pretty far in terms of administration. So I would 504 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: venture a guest and saying it's probably not as bad 505 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: as we all think it might be in terms of, 506 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, the accouterments and what he might be getting 507 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: out there. I would assume that, you know, the father, 508 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: being who he was, to have him shielded for so long, 509 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't doubt it's a phone call to his men. However, 510 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: there was the stories that the father of the girl 511 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: that was murdered was very very angry. There was rumor mongering. 512 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: Of course, he's going on that the ten thousand dollars 513 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: reward was placed to have your inventage of murdered in prison. Now, 514 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: whether or not that's true or not, the father has 515 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: denied that. Uh you know, well, we do know that 516 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: he's still alive and whining about life behind bars. But 517 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: he was laughing and grinning the last time that a 518 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: hidden camera interview went down. That was around two thousand 519 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: and sixteen. The whining goes on. He has two roommates, 520 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: but apparently he has a special area in his cell 521 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: and he has more room than anyone else. He has books, 522 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: he's married, He gets conjugal visits, he gets drugs and 523 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: alcohol behind bars. I don't know how he does that. 524 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: What do you know, Ann Emerson about his life behind bars? 525 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: What we're hearing is that he does have a very 526 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: lax situation at prison that you know, he's able to 527 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: get through. He's able to get food from home, he's 528 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: able to get clothes, he gets special favors. Like you said, 529 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: he gets conjugal visits. Um he can. He gets straight 530 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: clothes from what we understand, which means that he doesn't 531 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,239 Speaker 1: have to wear the same prison uniform. So just by 532 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: just those those things are making him stand out as 533 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: sort of perhaps like a celebrity prisoner. UM in a 534 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: very different way as well. Um he is. He's also 535 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,479 Speaker 1: on these international charges. I mean, we understand that he 536 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: is still facing um extradition after he serves his twenty 537 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: eight years sentence. UM he still has. But this gives 538 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: him a I would think, a level of celebrity status 539 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: within the prison um of who he is and what 540 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: he's done. He's just he's not just like every other prisoner. 541 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,719 Speaker 1: But and he is treated specially and he gets he 542 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: gets what he gets some special Um, it looks like 543 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: he's getting special treatment on some levels. UM, I hear you. 544 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: And I don't know how special any of us would 545 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: consider it, though, to be up at the Alcatraz of 546 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: the Andes, it's up in the Andes Mountains, it's it's cold, 547 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: and there may be in truth or what rool Manchanda 548 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: said that there's a hint on him placed by Stephanie Tauciano, 549 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: Flora's father because he apparently has been stabbed five times 550 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 1: behind bars and talk about lacks security. Doctor Bethany Marshall. 551 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: What I wonder about very often is how the parents, 552 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 1: how Beth and mister Holloway go on? How do they 553 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: do it? Bethany? Well, what I'm struck by is excuse me. 554 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: What I'm struck by is that they are still observing 555 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: Jordan Vanderslute's offending pattern. Think about it. He was sort 556 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: of the big man on campus in this very small island, right, 557 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: and he probably refined his offending pattern very early. All 558 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: these girls would come over on spring break. He would 559 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: apply them with alcohol, date rape drugs, rape them, and 560 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: he had probably been doing this for a number of years, 561 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: even though he was just a teenager. Natalie was just 562 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: the first one who died. There were victims who came before. Then, 563 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: a year after Natalie's death, he bludgeons Stephanie Floris to death. 564 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: Where did he meet her? In a casino? What did 565 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: he do? Probably applied her with drinks, brought her back 566 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: to the room. So the offending pattern continues. Now, The 567 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: ascending pattern continues behind bars. He targets the woman who 568 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: comes in to sell goods to the other inmates, and 569 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: he's procuring goods for her from her, has conjugal bit 570 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: visits has sex as able to take her back to 571 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: the whole as they call it, or wherever his room is. 572 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: So as a parent, I mean to speak to your question, 573 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: there would be so many conflicting feelings, you know, grief, loss, rage, 574 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: having to witness this travesty again and again. But what 575 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: did they think about this young woman behind bars who's pregnant. 576 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean, did you see her picture. She's very young, 577 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: she's about twenty four years old. She's an accounting assistant, 578 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: so obviously she has some sort of an education. What 579 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: if he bludgeons her to death? What if she's connects victims? 580 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: So I think what's probably difficult for them is that 581 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 1: the saga continues. It's never ever over. On an interesting thing, 582 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: now that he has had a baby with a Peruvian citizen, 583 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: he can fight extradition. They don't have to just hand 584 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: him over because he can be a Peruvian citizen before 585 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: he got Before he gets that citizenship, that formal citizenship, 586 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: they'll get rid of him, kick him out, happy to 587 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: get rid of him. But once he becomes a citizen, 588 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: it will be a lot harder for him to get 589 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: extradited to the US. We wait as justice unfalls. Nancy 590 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: Grace crime Story, signing off goodbye friend,
