This link is a couple of articles in one that play out the events in the Natalee Holloway case. The most recent update is a small overview on the basics of the case and that after 5 years Jordan van der Sloot was identified as the killer. After being arrested twice previously but let go, he was finally arrested in Chile and was flown back to Peru to face his murder charges.
Although I believe that at the beginning of this story the media was trying to make it more entertainment than anything, I think that now that all the information has come out and they have identified the killer that the articles you see on the news and in the newspapers are more informational than entertaining.
I agree, this case has been on so long and they talk about every move this guy makes. News is definately going in the entertainment direction now.
ReplyDeleteHer disappearance received a lot of attention initially as the story was of the typical 'pretty blonde teenager goes missing' variety. Also, her family was instrumental in keeping this story in the news cycle, so much so that Jordan van der Sloot has been watched pretty closely since..
