Joran van der Sloot Captured in Chile

That was quick...

A day after he was announced as the suspect in a girl's murder in a Peru, authorities announce they have arrested Joran van der Sloot in the country of Chile. CNN reported less than an hour ago that the 23-year-old was traveling alone in a taxi near the city of Vina del Mar when he was arrested by Chilean authorities. Paperwork revealed that van der Sloot had entered the country on Wednesday, the same day that he was named a suspect in the murder of a girl in Lima, Peru. 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez was found early Wednesday morning in a hotel room that was booked under van der Sloot's name. 

Police said she had been stabbed to death.

CNN's latest report has van der Sloot being transported to police headquarters in Santiago. Peru's Interior Minister has reportedly confirmed arrangements with Interpol to extradite the 23-year-old murder suspect.

Joran van der Sloot Wanted in Another Girl's Murder, Arrest Warrant Issued

After evading arrest for years in the much-publicized disappearance of Natalie Holloway, Joran van der Sloot is now wanted in the murder of another young girl. The Peruvian newspaper El Comercio reported that 21-year-old Stephany Flores Ramirez was found dead early this morning in a Lima, Peru hotel. The room was reportedly booked under van der Sloot's name. Police said that she had been stabbed multiple times and was found wrapped in a blanket in a pool of blood.

CBS stated that authorities working the case believe that the victim was murdered on Sunday. Stephany's father, Ricardo Flores, says van der Sloot appears with his daughter in video taken at a Lima casino early that same day.

The prosecutor from the Natalie Holloway case told CBS News that an Interpol international arrest warrant has been issued for Van der Sloot.

Hopefully this time he gets put behind bars... and stays there.
