CNN has just announced (1:00 pm EST) that Joran van der Sloot has been arrested in Santiago, Chile.
Later reports indicate that Joran was detained by Chilean authorities in a resort town outside Santiago, then brought under guard to Santiago. As far as I can tell, he'll be escorted to the border and turned over to Peruvian authorities.
Another report says that the terms of extradition from Chile to Peru are being negotiated, and that this could take up to five days. According to other sources, van der Sloot might simply be expelled from Chile--presumably right into the waiting arms of Peruvian law enforcement. We shall see.
