NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — A man convicted of opening fire inside a New Hampshire church during a wedding, wounding a bishop and the bride, was sentenced Monday to 40 years to life in prison. The shooting happened nearly two weeks after Holloway’s stepfather, a pastor at the church, was killed by the son of the groom. The jury acquitted Holloway of an attempted murder charge in the shooting of McMullen. Authorities said Castiglione is the father of a man convicted of killing Holloway’s stepfather. Brandon Castiglione was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 42 years in prison earlier this year for fatally shooting Holloway’s stepfather, Luis Garcia, inside his home.

Joran van der Sloot arrived in Lima in the custody of law enforcement. Van der Sloot was long the chief suspect in Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba, though authorities in the Dutch Caribbean island never prosecuted him. She was last seen May 30, 2005, leaving a bar with van der Sloot. The Holloway family has long sought answers about her disappearance, and van der Sloot has given shifting accounts over the years. Before he could be arrested in the extortion case, van der Sloot slipped away by moving from Aruba to Peru.

It was May 31, 2005, at 4 a.m., when Beth Holloway first confronted Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch student who was one of three people who had been seen, just hours earlier, leaving a nightclub in Aruba with her daughter, Natalee Holloway. Standing outside the Holiday Inn where Natalee, 18, had been staying with other recent graduates of her Alabama high school on a class trip, Mr. van der Sloot repeatedly slammed his hands against his chest, saying, “What do you want me to do?”Ms. Holloway recalled holding her daughter’s senior class portrait and telling him, “I want my daughter back.”“He had such power over me,” Ms. Holloway, 63, said in an interview on Friday, “and I knew he had the answers, and I knew that he was well aware of what had happened to her.”

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Beth Holloway was after one thing for 18 years: answers about what happened to her missing daughter. Van der Sloot said the teen was already unconscious, or even dead, when he picked up a nearby cinderblock and brought it down on her face. “I smash her head in with it completely," van der Sloot said, according to an Oct. 3 transcript of the meeting. She stood her ground.”Dave Holloway, Natalee’s father, called van der Sloot “evil personified" in a statement issued after the sentencing hearing. Peru agreed to temporarily extradite van der Sloot to the U.S. to face proceedings on the extortion charge.

Joran van der Sloot is no longer the suspect in my daughter’s murder. The office told the Associated Press it was not immediately clear whether van der Sloot could face murder charges there. Joran van der Sloot (center) is transferred in a police car from the Ancon I jail in Lima, Peru, on June 8. She was last seen leaving a nightclub with van der Sloot and two other men. In court on Wednesday, Manasco said she considered van der Sloot’s “brutal murder of Natalee Holloway” in her decision to accept the plea agreement.

Dutch citizen Joran van der Sloot is also accused of extorting and defrauding the teen’s mother. But Kelly confirmed to CNN that van der Sloot intends to plead guilty in connection to the case. The 18-year-old was last seen leaving a nightclub with van der Sloot and two other men, brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe. They were rearrested and charged in 2007 for “involvement in the voluntary manslaughter of Natalee Holloway or causing serious bodily harm to Natalee Holloway, resulting in her death,” Aruban prosecutors said at the time. Van der Sloot confessed to killing Flores and was sentenced to 28 years in a Peruvian prison.

The man who has long been linked to the 2005 disappearance of the American teenager Natalee Holloway described in court documents released on Wednesday how he had brutally attacked her on a beach in Aruba after she rejected his advances. It was the first time that details of Ms. Holloway’s disappearance have been made public, and it came after Joran van der Sloot, a 36-year-old Dutchman, agreed to provide “full, complete, accurate, and truthful information” about it in exchange for a 20-year sentence on extortion and wire fraud charges. As part of a plea agreement, Mr. van der Sloot pleaded guilty on Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama in Birmingham to charges that he had tried to extort Ms. Holloway’s mother, prosecutors said. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In court, Judge Anna M. Manasco said that as part of the sentencing decision, Mr. van der Sloot had confessed to killing Ms. Holloway and disposing of her remains, The Associated Press reported.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Court records filed Friday indicate Joran van der Sloot, the chief suspect in Natalee Holloway’s 2005 disappearance, intends to plead guilty in a federal case accusing him of trying to extort money from the missing teen’s mother. A federal judge set an Oct. 18 plea and sentencing hearing for van der Sloot in Birmingham, Alabama. The Alabama teen was last seen leaving a bar with van der Sloot, a student at an international school on the island. Van der Sloot was identified as a main suspect and was detained for questioning but no charges were filed in the case. U.S. prosecutors say that in 2010, van der Sloot sought money from Beth Holloway to disclose the location of her daughter's body.

FBI agents flew with van der Sloot on a US Department of Justice plane to an airport in Birmingham, Alabama, where he landed Thursday afternoon. Van der Sloot was seen leaving the Ancón 1 prison in Lima early Thursday, as he was driven away in a black van while in the custody of law enforcement. Peru initially agreed to extradite van der Sloot to the US to face those charges only after he serves his murder sentence. “I want to go to the US,” van der Sloot told Altez in a letter. Holloway was last seen alive with van der Sloot and two other men leaving a nightclub in Aruba 18 years ago.

“I want to go to the US,” Van der Sloot told Altez in a letter. Van der Sloot was convicted in 2012 of murdering Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room and sentenced to 28 years in prison. Peru initially agreed to extradite Van der Sloot to the US to face those charges only after he serves his murder sentence. Peru agreed to Van der Sloot’s “temporary relocation to the United States, because he is condemned here and he must serve his sentence here,” Justice Minister Daniel Maurate said. Police in Aruba arrested and released the three men – van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe – multiple times in 2005 and 2007 in connection with Holloway’s disappearance.

CNN —Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, was “severely” beaten in a Peruvian prison, his attorney told ABC News on Monday. It may be connected to gang rules inside the Challapalca Prison where van der Sloot is being held, Altez said. Natalee Holloway was last seen alive with van der Sloot and two other men 18 years ago leaving a nightclub in Aruba. The three men – van der Sloot and brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe – were arrested in 2005 and released due to insufficient evidence. They were rearrested and charged in 2007 for “involvement in the voluntary manslaughter of Natalee Holloway or causing serious bodily harm to Natalee Holloway, resulting in her death,” Aruban prosecutors said at the time.
