Here are two articles about the missing Colombia girls. One needs to be translated. The articles are all stating that Joran arrived in Colombia on May 6th and that he left for Peru on May 14 making his stay in Colombia 7 days, not 2 as has been reported. They do have video surveillance of him at the casinos. There is also a picture of two young girls kissing him on either cheek (I seriously doubt that these are the two missing and/or dead girls.

At this link the writer indicates that the two women were murdered. I thought they were just missing. Maybe once the elcomercio article gets translated it will be clearer. I dunno.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: The once prime suspect in the Natalee Holloway`s disappearance confessing to another woman`s murder. Joran Van Der Sloot expected to re-enact his deadly assault on 21-year-old Stephany Flores inside his hotel room.
Straight out to Jean Casarez, correspondent for "In Session" who is live outside the hotel where Stephany died. And we`re covering breaking news that came in while we were on this show about two missing women allegedly in Colombia and a possible connection to Joran. But we have no independent confirmation.
Jean Casarez, what have you found out?
JEAN CASAREZ, CORRESPONDENT, "IN SESSION": Well, what we`ve done, we have been able to contact correspondents for CNN in Colombia. And here is the e-mail we received back from them. They checked with authorities and say there is nothing to it. According Colombian police and Colombian attorney general`s office, there is no disappearance currently being investigated in Bogota or no investigation in Colombia in general in connection with Joran Van Der Sloot.
That`s what they are officially saying in Colombia. Of course when you say investigation, possibly just questioning is not tantamount to a full investigation at this point. But this is what information we`re getting from the law enforcement in Colombia tonight.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: All right. So they would know if there were two women missing in Colombia and apparently we`re not hearing that.
So Mike Brooks, it`s a good thing that we have Jean Casarez there in Peru to check this stuff out.
BROOKS: She is the best, that`s for sure. We`re glad to have her on "In Session" that`s for sure. But then again, it`s not over with him. We`re going to have to go back, take a look at his passports, as said earlier, follow that paper trail and see exactly where he has been and when he was there.
VELEZ-MITCHELL:
Tim Miller, you`re the one who gave us this report that you had heard from Jossy Mansur who is the editor of "Diario" newspaper in Aruba that the authorities in Colombia had launched an investigation because two women were missing in a casino in Colombia.
Now we`re hearing from Jean Casarez that Colombian authorities are saying it isn`t happening. Now, we know in cases like this, I call it urban myth. Things, they sort of take on a life of their own. Is it possible that Jossy is simply wrong or his sources are bad? Because we`re getting conflicting information here.
MILLER: It`s possible that it is. I know that he was going to run that story tomorrow morning in his newspaper. And again while I was there he did get a phone call which stated that authorities were going to -- and in fact had getting to Peru to go ahead and talk to Joran Van Der Sloot. That was, I must say, three or four hours ago.
Also your caller said that it was also aired on a Spanish TV station.
