Joran Van Der Sloot's 'Guardian Angel' Mary Hamer Wants Refund From Lawyer Jose Luis Jimenez

First Posted: 01/23/2012 1:42 pm Updated: 01/23/2012 1:47 pm

A woman who once described herself as Joran van der Sloot's "guardian angel" says she was duped out of $75,000 by the admitted murderer's lawyer.

Mary Hamer, a Florida radiologist who visited van der Sloot in Peru before his trial for killing Stephany Flores, says Jose Luis Jimenez told her the money would cover the 24-year-old Dutch national's bail, according to Radar.

Hamer later learned that van der Sloot, who was sentenced to 28 years, was inelegible for bail. Now, Hamer is demanding a refund.

Van der Sloot tried to patch things up with his public admirer by sending her a handwritten letter in which he says he needs her continued support and pleads with her not to take any actions against his lawyer, according to CNN.

In addition to keeping the money she's already given him, van der Sloot asked her for $1,000 to buy a new phone "so he can communicate with [her] again."

Jimenez denied that he misled Hamer about the funds and claimed that he returned the money, despite van der Sloot's wish that he hold onto it, according to a separate Radar report.

Hamer allegedly received an email from van der Sloot's mother, Anita van der Sloot, that said "some lives are NOT worth saving," after the Peruvian judges handed down their sentence, The National Enquirer says.

Van der Soot is also a suspect in the killing of Natalee Holloway, an 18-year-old high school student from Alabama who disappeared in Aruba in 2005.

Can we all move on now ? There are enough serial killers, mass murderers and crazy party and play dudes out there doing very bad things. The media is making billions off this story. Can we just get a rest please ? Drama, murder and the who done its is kinda making me depressed. Yes he is a sick dude who went wrong and the details are a window into where we all could go but isn't that what Stephen King's books are for ? Ok, I am over this subject. let's talk about something nice for a change. The world is full of messed up people who are out to disrupt our serenity levels. His party and play T shirt he wore all that time was so telling and its more of a story about addiction and greed I think. He wanted to do drugs and get laid. Yeah in an American prison he can do both also, lets talk about that ! This is my last look at this subject. Let us move on people. Peace and Love.......Jake

Wow...even his own mother says he is not worth saving...that's a real blow to the guy...maybe this other woman believes "everyone needs a friend"....or...maybe she is trying to get close to him for the sake of Natalie's family to find out what really happened to her. I doubt this guy will EVER tell. He knew he couldn't get away with what happened to Stephany but he did get away with what happened to Natalie. There were no cameras to catch him in action...He may as well come clean, because after he serves his 28 years there, the US will come after him for extorting money...they will throw the book at him for that...and he will spend maybe another 10 or more...by the time the law gets done with him, he won't have much of his life left to live...he will be an old man...

My only question is ....Why?????
09:48 AM on 02/01/2012
She wanted to pay his bail and get him out of jail....why??...does she have a daughter???
I hope he stays in the worse prison they have for the entire 28 years and is put in with the regular population in there...no special anything!! And after 28 years I hope someone is waiting outside the prison to take him to face the charges for the murder of Natalee Holloway.

Female sociopaths lack the upper body strength and testosterone to build up to and commit the actual crime, but they can still fantasize...

Too much too late, and he ask for a 1000.00 for a new phone? what kind of phone is he looking for, even his own mother has had a change of heart. I cant feel sorry for anyone that thinks they can save someone like this idiot and his Lawyer.

I find it hard to believe that she actually thought he had a possibility of RELEASE on any kind of bond. Wow!
