Ep. 40-Gambling with Lives: Stephany Flores Ramirez and Natalie Holloway Meet Joran van der Sloot Bad Acts: A True Crime Podcast

On May 30, 2010, Stephany Flores Ramirez, 21, met a handsome young man at the poker tables at the Atlantic City Casino in Lima, Peru. She had no way of knowing that the day she met 22-year-old Joran van der Sloot was the 5th anniversary of the disappearance of another girl he'd been accused of killing -- Natalie Holloway. After Stephany went back to Joran's hotel room, she never emerged again, and Peruvian police were on an international manhunt for a man many suspected already got away with murder once before.
