    ​@@AKayfabe while I’m sure there are exceptions like in your case but generally it is not a good idea to introduce kids to gambling. Kid’s brains are still forming as teenagers and it puts the kid at risk for gambling addiction. It also fosters unhealthy thrill seeking behavior. That all said maybe your family is different and you had the maturity to be able to handle those kinds of environments but as far as average kids go taking them gambling isn’t a good idea. Your dad may have taken you gambling but I imagine he instilled good morals as well and was a healthy role model. My guess is Joran’s dad was not a good role model and certainly didn’t instill good ethics on his son.

    As a Dutchie, this brought back so many memories. This story dominated the news for ages, spouted debates, memes, documentaries, and international issues regarding the autonomy and police force of our overseas territories. Maybe an idea for another video: the crime reporter who dug into this story (and who ultimately pretty much solved it) Peter R. De Vries, was shot and killed in 2021. He has worked many high profile Dutch cases, like the 1983 kidnapping of Freddy Heineken (yes, thát Heineken), the exoneration of two men who were wrongfully convicted for the murder of a 23-year-old woman in 1994 and the eventual discovery of DNA that lead to the real killer, and for uncovering that the new fiancé of Dutch Prince Friso had ties to a few of the biggest names in Dutch organized crime, causing Friso to lose his claim to the throne and his royal title after he went through with the wedding.

The one guy who did got his flight changed and he and his parent were sent home the next day. While I believe Van Dee Sloot is totally to blame for her death, I feel like the school should also be held accountable for allowing students to run around at all hours of the night. They had no security and no safety plan for those students so it was a matter of time for one of them to end up in a dangerous situation.

    Hey Jiles, I’m an Aruban living abroad for many many years now, but this has been the best retelling of this case I’ve ever heard. You got all of the facts right and really highlighted how much of a conman Joran really is. One thing to note: while the authorities admittedly were slow to take her disappearance seriously, once they did, they never relented. It’s been one of the most expensive investigations to date on the island. Also, once the Aruban community became aware of her disappearance, there were hundreds of people volunteering in searches for her around the island. Aruba is a relatively safe island so it was awful to have this happen. Another note, lots of us locals are absolutely convinced Joran’s dad/someone else was somehow involved in the cover up. There is NO way Natalee’s body would have gone out to see in the manner that Joran had described. For her body to be picked up by the currents he would have needed to be a LOT further out to see than just being knee deep in the water. So he must have had a boat and some help. His father was also adamant that he not talk to the police. In the end, nothing will bring Natalee and Stephany back, such a shame their lives were lost in such a horrible way. Joran is a true monster. Take care Jiles and thanks again🍀

    I have also never believed she was put in the ocean. I think either his family/friends helped dispose of her and he’s covering for them or, she is buried somewhere. He knows if she was dug up, the shattered bones would tell the real story. Plus, keeping the body is a way for narcissist killers to continue to keep control over the victim and family. He won’t give her up unless he gets something that is worth more than that control.

Since i was so young it was the first time I sort of conceptualized the existence of murder, and the name "van der sloot" stuck in my mind. it scared me for weeks realizing people were capable of killing each other. somehow completely missed the 2010 murder years later and completely forgot about it until now. interesting to finally hear the full story

    The Dutch journalist Peter de Vries ensured that this story stayed alive in the Netherlands and did everything he could to get him in prison.

The Netherlands is ashamed of Joran. It's unbelievable that he was able to walk and travel freely.

    This comment sent me down a googling rabbit hole, I’m back to share what I’ve learned! Turns out Johan is a very common Dutch name, and van der ___ is an incredibly common prefix to Dutch surnames. There’s a Dutch footballer w the surname Van der Moot and a famous Dutch filmmaker named Johan van der Keuken. So when coming up with a name for a Dutch supervillain in a comedic movie, Johan van der Smut definitely fits. He wasn’t a parody of Johan van der Sloot due to the film release being a couple of years before this, however, definitely an incredibly interesting coincidence.
