Maria Bögerl Found Dead

/in /by

Sadly, the German banker and his two children who pleaded for their wife/mother to be returned to them won’t be so lucky. Maria Boegerl’s corpse was found yesterday at the edge of a forest not far from their home under some branches. Police had found her car, but found little clues to help them find Maria.

Maria Bögerl, according to Thomas Bögerl, was abducted at her home and driven away in her own car, and held for ransom, but the kidnappers never took their random, which was put on a highway by Thomas as instructed, and were never heard from again.

It will be interesting to see this case evolve. I can’t say anything conclusively because of the language barrier, but I am curious why the father didn’t seem as upset as the children were. It may or may not be explainable.

Thanks to those of you who sent me this story!

Joran van der Sloot: Suspect in Lima Murder

/in /by

Joran van der Sloot is in the news again. He has been named as the chief suspect in the murder of Stephany Flores Ramirez, 21, of Peru, who was found stabbed to death in the Tac hotel this morning in the Miraflores district. According to the news reports that I am translating, it appears that Joran has fled Peru on Monday for Chile.

PeruTV is reporting that the police found Joran van der Sloot’s footprints. PeruTV is also reporting that the police are saying that Stephany was dating the Dutchman and liked to gamble and play poker.

Ramirez is the daughter of a businessman and race car driver, Ricardo Flores. Reports are saying that Joran arrived in Peru on May 14, and met Stephany in the Miraflores district, an upscale district in Lima for shopping, dining, and clubbing. According to Wikipedia, it is a hot spot for teenagers and young adults as there are many pubs.

RPP.COM.PE is reporting that Stephany was killed sometime after 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning.
