The Casual Criminalist

    If Aurba is under control of the Netherlands, it seems that calling Interpol might have worked better than calling the FBI, since they actually have full authority to operate there.

    I was 15 and living in St. Lucia when this took place. It was huge news for us here because it sort of just put a black mark on all of the Caribbean for a bit. There was a huge worry about how it would affect tourism.

    Simon, as an American, NEVER ask us if we want to send in the troops. Most people will say some sort of "yes" 😬

    As a local of the island, this was the first time something like this ever happened, we are generally safe country to travel to so when this happened this put the island on a stand still, and america put alot of pressure on us to help, but we never went though this ever so we were so under equipped and had no idea what to do, and to get extra hands from the military for the search efforts took days because it took a Long time for the Netherlands to give the okay because the government does not control thrm, the Netherlands does. I was like 8 when this happened and I remember everything so clearly. The island even took a few days off work so everyone could help find her.

    I’m from Mountain Brook, and went to the same High School as Natalee. We feel her loss in many places, and school trips are now no longer allowed to be international. My mother used to make small talk with Beth Holloway at the nail salon. Small towns can make loss so much harder.

    If I remember correctly, her father (or someone in her family) is related/associated with the family of Jon Benet Ramsey.

    When this all went down. Us Americans where encouraged to boycott Aruba. A customer was telling me of her vacation plans in Aruba. I talked her out of it by guilt tripping her about the Holloway situation.

    this kid is stupid he could have juasr called the police and told them the girl had died by drinking to much. and medical examination of her body would ha e proved him innocen. case over and he could have spared himself three months in prison and all the arrest and media. why even lie about that

    Pyschopaths can trick the polygraph test because of how they are. Probably he just fed them more lies he is going to take back and then confess again, that a*shat.

    1:10:57 never thought Chile would be involved in one of this videos. I don't remember much news coverage of this on the news. That was the year when we had a big earthquake here, maybe that's why I don't remember this case😅

    This case was absolutely massive in America back when she went missing. It was nuts. I feel so bad for her family

    I wish that Joran could know that his names sounds almost exactly like the word urine when said aloud by Simon. It would bring me joy 😊❤

    This is so funny. I would love to visit America one day but I'm scared that I will get shot. :')
    It never occurred to me that this belief could also exist the other way around.

    Peter R de vries was/is forever a legend especially here in the Netherlands. The amount of crimes he helped solve and the people he’s helped and supported, truly a one of a kind man

    This case makes me so angry. I hope her family can find some peace, though I know that must be so difficult. ❤ makes my heart break for them and for natalee

    This Joran story has been sooo fucking much in the news in Holland over the past like what 20 years? Its insane that it tookthis long to solve the case. And i believe i speak for most fellow Dutch people here, may this man Rot away in prison til his death.

    I have a nitpick. In 2005 her face would have been burned into plasma TVs not LCDs 🤣

    To everyone outside the US, this was a HUGE story in America. I was about 6 years old when it all started and its probably my earliest memory of the news. It was crazy how much attention this got. Much like the Gabby Petito case, but without the social media element.
