Joran Van der Sloot:

His Mom Speaks ” My son is sick in his head.”

Stan B. Walters

Joran Van der Sloot’s Mom said in an interview with a Dutch newspaper “My son is sick in his head.”  She blames the media and the death of Joran’s father as the cause for her son committing murder.  Sorry Mrs. Van der Sloot, your son just willingly engages in deviant behavior – always has and always will. He knows what he is doing.

Joran Van der Sloot certainly exhibits deviant behavior and in my opinion is most likely a sexual predator.  He appears to match the profile of a psychopath.

We have to be careful about bantering around “mentally ill.”  It leads the public to believe that Van der Sloot is not in control of his own actions and is unaware of the consequences of his behavior.  For Joran it is quite the opposite.  Joran Van der sloot demonstrates a high level of awareness of his actions which by the way are always in response his needs without consideration for the pain and suffering he causes others.  He is a very organized personality.  In his case he has willingly failed to control his own behaviors.

Certainly stress factors can trigger apparently inappropriate behaviors in any person.  My question to Joran’s Mom would be what stress factors caused him to allegedly murder Natalee Holloway?  There was no media coverage of him prior to her disappearance and his father was alive!

Often when we can’t understand the apparently deviant behaviors of a friend or family member, it is easy to blame it on “mental illness” as the cause.  I believe that’s because we can’t understand the other person’s motivation and fortunately for us, we can’t imagine engaging is such behavior ourselves, therefore “he must be sick.”

Joran Van der Sloot’s behavior is probably best explained as a “psychology of evil.”  He will not be denied anything he wants, he is well spoken, easily overcomes another person’s fears about him, has a high threshold of excitement or stimulation, he has a low tolerance for stress or anything that frustrates him, he has no empathy for the people he is destroying, doesn’t learn from his mistakes, he is cunning, he is manipulative, and he is a chronic liar.  I still say that if we investigate his background more thoroughly we will find MANY deviant social acts and criminal offenses that have been missed, dismissed, and even ignored.  He has MANY more victims of deviant behavior than we will ever know.

You can take it to the bank that Joran’s confession to Peruvian authorities is still not very close to the whole truth.  Oh sure, he gave them enough that he may be convicted – enough to match the forensics.  BUT, the actual interaction between him and Flores, conversations between them, Flores specific actions have been grossly altered to suit Joran’s point of view and benefit.  Notice from previous stories how Joran portrays himself as the “victim” of Flores snooping into his personal life.  Again, I think a key phrase was Joran’s slip in saying that she tried to “escape.”  I’d bet that the time Joran spent in the room with her body was time spent fantasizing about what happened and developing and practicing a plausible “story.”  Why not, Joran has proven himself very successful at making up plausible stories in the past!

When he is interviewed by the Lima judge next week, I hope he doesn’t fall pry to Joran’s charms and believe the lies Joran has cooked up for him.  If we hear about ANY of the story he tells the judge, I’m willing to bet there are going to be some changes and additions to the initial confession he gave to the Peruvian police.  Also it wouldn’t surprise me if he starts suffering from “memory lapses” and plays up his Moms diagnosis that he is “sick in his head.”

Joran Van der Sloot is a classic example of an anti-social personality type who is fully aware of his behaviors but has and continues to manipulate people for his own personal desires. Put him in the Peruvian prison and let him rot. 

Just my opinion anyway.
