The family of Natalee Holloway believed he could help them find her remains.

According to officials in Peru, where Sloot has been serving time for murder, Joran van der Sloot, the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance of the deceased American teen Natalee Holloway, will be extradited to the US to face extortion and fraud charges. In connection with a scheme to sell knowledge of the whereabouts of her remains in exchange for $250,000, he has been accused in the US on federal counts of extortion and wire fraud, according to officials.
