Joran van der Sloot has "fans" from around the world who send him letters and money to the tune of $400 per month, according to his lawyer.
He's facing charges of wire fraud and extortion in the United States after allegedly trying to sell Beth Holloway, Natalee's mother, information on where her daughter's body was located. The Peruvian government ruled earlier in May that he would be temporarily extradited to face trial in the U.S. "I was blessed to have had Natalee in my life for 18 years, and as of this month, I have been without her for exactly 18 years. She would be 36 years old now. It has been a very long and painful journey, but the persistence of many is going to pay off. Together, we are finally getting justice for Natalee."

Federal prosecutors say van der Sloot asked for $250,000 — $25,000 up front for the information and the rest being paid out when the body of Natalee Holloway was positively identified.
