Another additional note: The man that was the frontman for the press and had close relations with Natalee's family in the dutch investigation was named Peter R. De Vries. He got killed earlier this year by being shot in the back of his head while walking through the streets of Amsterdam because of another investigation he was a part of into a big crime ring. Peter R. De Vries got Joran's confession on tape due to an undercover agent. Sadly the tape wasn't admissible. Peter R. De Vries never stopped fighting for justice even though he knew about the danger he brought himself in. Most Dutch people know about him, he's a household figure. Just wanted to share his name so we don't forget that even though there are bad people in this world there are also many great people like Peter.

Missing people in Aruba is extremely rare, and its a country that only depends on tourism. This is why the island placed so much effort in finding her, both because it was extremely uncommon and it will affect the "one happy island," tourism motto we have.

Bon Dia Dushi!! I love Aruba & hope to get back to the island soon!!!

[@cheri618]

oh wow. that must’ve been scary for people there at the time.

[@divatesteddivaapproved]

Also, I’ve been to the island 5 times & I’ve always felt very safe. Arubans are so kind- like the afternoons I got lost when I got off the bus & couldn’t figure out how to get back to my AirBnB. A mom & daughter came by & asked if I was lost & gave me directions back to my AirBnB. There was only one AirBnB in that area at the time. They knew the white girl tourist had to be staying at this one place. Then I said “My friends son goes to this preschool” (where I got off the bus) and the Mom knew my friend & her son! That’s the Aruba I know & love!

[@EffieXSteffie]

@@cheri618 I was a student in “middle school” in Aruba that’s ages 6 to 12 and they closed the school so we can help search for her. Children searching for a potential dead body.

[@nikid9807]

One time in high school, two of my cousins were hanging out at my house with me while our parents went to my aunt's house right down the road. We were outside and a car came around and one of my cousins started talking to the guys in the car. My other cousin and I hadn't met them before and they were acting like players. Before we knew it, our other cousin had hopped in the car with them and took off! I immediately called my aunt's house to tell her mom and she was getting worried because I didn't know names or anything, but then she turned up down there. Turns out she did know them from school and asked them for a ride down the road but didn't clearly communicate that to me or our other cousin. But for a few minutes there we were pretty scared, anything could have happened.

[@wallis69]

So true! Stick with your friends, especially when you’re out in an unknown place.

[@horse_chick]

She had very wealthy parents who were very, very involved in the investigation.

[@tarrinal5522]

They never found her body because she was probably off that island before anyone even knew that she was missing. Human traffickers probably had a boat waiting and the 3 boys lured her to the beach under the pretense of “going to see some sharks.” A young, beautiful, naive, and intoxicated tourist is a prime target for traffickers.

[@Haley32Morgan]

The most confusing thing to me is why a high school would bring a bunch of teenagers to Aruba to party in the first place. That's such a wild concept to wrap my head around these days

[@ShadesAndBoots]

Taking high schoolers on trips, even abroad, isn't new but the lack of supervision I think reflects on the tax bracket these kids were in. They probably were very use to having long leashes and were considered "responsible" enough to drink and party and socialize independently. Which led to grave consequences in this case.

[@ThingsILikke]

Some parents don’t let their kids go to prom because of how wild the kids can get- I suppose this is nothing new. Natalie was set up- these traffickers probably were prepared down to there every move to shop for blonde American white girls. Apparently they catch a higher price in human trafficking than most other demographics

[@artistides]

Someone I know had the exact same kind of trip way more recently, and even then I didn't understand why schools or school organizations do the party trips either. She managed to get her stuff stolen from her after leaving it unattended on a beach, due to being way too naive. Luckily nothing worse than that happened.

[@anilavanilla]

Her school went to aruba.. Mine went to france and germany. Does schools now still do that tho.

[@happamari]

I went on trip my junior yr ( 1998/1999) to Spain with about 10 kids in total with my art teacher and her friend. It’s still blows my mind how little supervision we had. We would be out all night at clubs/clubs during the night and had tons of free time during the day in Majorca, Barcelona and Madrid.

Can you just imagine the stress and anxiety of those teachers/chaperones that day realizing one student was missing? On your watch, a teenage girl was missing in a foreign country and now you have to call her parents, your superiors and the local police...

[@serakayle7903]

@@femalevoice_ I agree 100%, but you can't possibly fully blame the adults here, it was a bundle of shortcomings from so many people -not just the teachers- and a terrible series of unfortunate events that led to this tragedy. Add to that the (sometimes) uncontrollable drive of a bunch of teenagers to "break the rules". It's just a tragedy honestly. The idea of doing your job as a teacher all year long for years on end, then having this chance to lay back and relax on a vacation, only to make one mistake that costs the life of one of the kids you're responsible for .. it's just so daunting.

He solved many cases others couldn't, like the Heineken case, and always was a great confidant for victims & families. Many think he's better than police, which it probably why he was executed earlier in 2021 in broad daylight. He always denied protection because he'd have to adhere to all kinds of rules and "on bended knees is no way to live", and unfortunately they got to him.

Learning to continue on, slowly realizing that he's never going to be by my side again, has been difficult, but I also have to be a mom to my son who is trying so hard to step up and be the 'man of the house,' because he wants to protect me, obviously. But I also think, deep down he's terrified that he could lose me in the blink of an eye, he had never experienced the loss of a loved one before this. Sometimes I break down alone in my car or if certain things trigger emotional memories, but I just try to keep building the life he and I planned, even if he isn't physically beside me.

I want to Aruba, ten years ago, and it’s still their most upsetting moment. They pride themselves on the safe tourism, this was unfortunate for everyone 💔

[@beautyandthebeach10]

Yes! We went in July and I agree. Such a beautiful place and the friendliest people. They love their tourism industry and are very proud of how safe it is and how accommodating they are. Every single person made us feel like they were happy we were there. Such a tragic story and I know they still feel so embarrassed and sad about it.

Ours in the late 80’s-90’s were not quite as big & floofy as the scrunchies of today.

I am from Venezuela and cracked my 4ss laughing when I heard her lol

[@rambledoom]

I went back a couple of times to hear her say it again because it was hilarious

[@stunningstarlight2362]

In my personal opinion, based on Natalee’s body never being found and the constant dead ends when it comes to suspects or clues… I personally believe she was either kidnapped or sold into s*x slavery. She was a young girl that was beautiful, left either alone or with three young guys, separated from her friends, intoxicated, potentially on a beach, and was never found again. Joran’s story about trading her into slavery for money makes the most sense to me since her body was never found on the island or in the water and they spent over 2 months searching for her. Unfortunately with Natalee’s case, the media will never really know what happened to her, nor will her parents. That fact alone breaks my heart.

I think one of those “lies” are actually the truth.

[@irinah6174]

Yeah the question is which one exactly

[@cisclineminguell2131]

Totally agree

[@aliceakinoitlotukoi8904]

my thought exactly

[@courtnayhayhayyy]

I definitely think he sold her. It happens with people on vacation.

[@courtnayhayhayyy]

Also not to be casual about this at all. It's a horrible thought but I saw all this go down on the news as a child... I have this tremendous gut feeling that she didn't get killed by them but they helped get her to whoever trafficked her.
