On May 30, 2010, the fifth anniversary of Holloway's disappearance, Stephany Tatiana Flores Ramírez, 21, died at the Hotel Tac Sac in the Miraflores District of Lima, Peru. Her beaten body was found wrapped in a bloody blanket three days later by hotel workers who noticed a foul odor coming from Room 309, which had been registered in Van der Sloot's name. According to Peruvian investigators, she suffered blunt force trauma to her head, causing a brain hemorrhage and breaking her neck. A tennis racquet, identified as the murder weapon, was recovered from the room. A hotel guest and an employee have come forward to claim they saw Van der Sloot and the victim entering his hotel room together and the police have video of the two playing cards at the same table the night before at the Atlantic City Casino in Lima. Van der Sloot had entered Peru via Colombia on May 14, 2010 to attend the Latin American Poker Tour. Flores Ramírez was a business student at the University of Lima. She was the daughter of Ricardo Flores, a former president of the Peruvian Automobile Club and winner of the "Caminos del Inca" rally in 1991. A prominent businessman, he ran for vice president in 2001 and for president five years later on fringe tickets. Flores said that police found date rape drugs in his daughter's car about 50 blocks from the hotel where she died. About 5000 Peruvian soles (US$1755) that she had won at the casino was missing
