The main suspect in the disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway has departed Peru on an extradition flight to the US, where he will face charges over an alleged fraud scheme against her parents.
Holloway, who lived in suburban Birmingham, Alabama, was 18 years old when she vanished during a trip with classmates to Aruba in 2005. She was last seen leaving a bar with Dutch citizen Joran van der Sloot, then a 17-year-old student at an international school on the island.
