Natalee Holloway suspect, convicted murderer Joran Van der Sloot reportedly set to marry



http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/07/20/natalee-holloway-suspect-joran-van-der-sloot-reportedly-set-to-marry/

Joran Van der Sloot, who killed one woman and is the chief suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, may have found a woman willing to marry him.

Van der Sloot, who is in a Peruvian prison, is planning to marry a mystery woman inside the Lima lockup, according to tabloids in South America. His attorney Maximo Altez, denied the rumors, but added: ‘I’m just in charge of his legal issues, and I don’t participate in his private life.’

Van der Sloot is serving a 28-year sentence after pleading guilty to the 2010 killing of Stephany Flores. Flores was found strangled in Van der Sloot’s hotel room five years after Alabama high school student Natalee Holloway vanished in Aruba while on break.

In addition to possibly tying the knot, Van der Sloot is also trying to appeal his death sentence. In letters his lawyer released that were allegedly written by Van der Sloot, he wrote that he hopes Flores' family can forgive him.
