Patrick van der Eem, Man Who Befriended Joran van der Sloot, Signs Book Deal in Natalee Holloway Disappearance

According to reports out of the Netherlands, Patrick van der Eem, the man who befriended Joran van der Sloot and got him to make admissions on the secretly recorded Peter R. DeVries tapes has signed a book deal. One can bet that this Dutch book will be translated into English. One can only imagine what Joran Van der Sloot said on the secretly recorded tapes that never made it to the videos that were published. Books are always better than the movies.
