The interest in murder suspect and online poker player Joran van der Sloot has hardly dwindled since it was first reported he was the primary suspect in the beating death of Peruvian college student Stephany Flores.

Ms. Flores herself was an avid poker and casino player who met van der Sloot in Lima while he was following the Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT).  She followed him up to his hotel room after the two were observed on camera in a casino.  Sadly Flores never returned and van der Sloot would later confess to her murder.

He is also the prime suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway from his native Aruba in 2005.

With reports surfacing that van der Sloot is now under investigation for possible human trafficking in Thailand, he continues to be one of the most searched for topics on the Internet and at Gambling911.com, according to the G911 Facebook Page.

“He (Joran) is getting the most reads these past 48 hours,” observed Gambling911.com Senior International Correspondent, Jenny Woo.  “There is a sort of sick romanticism with this individual,” she observed.

Gambling911.com’s reporting on van der Sloot often top Google News with mainstream interest in him waning. 

The Dutchman is known to have played on at least five different online poker websites.  One of his avatars was of a woman who resembled Natalee Holloway.  The handle that coincided with this avatar was AANOTILTKK, which prompted some in the poker community to suggest the name was a play on words related to “Natalee”.  He was also ANGRYSHARK68 in two of the online poker rooms.
