@@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.

Had her parents been less affluent the case may never have been solved.
When my high school class went on trips, we were not allowed to leave the hotel. We were in countries where we could legally drink but it was made clear we were not allowed to. 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.

This is my hometown, and Natalee is never forgotten here. Thank you for covering her story.
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.
why does it always have to end in someone elses life when they shouldve been locked up way earlier.

Omg this brought back a buried memory. I remember as a very young child hearing my mom talk about this case when the news about natalie first came out. 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
We all knew he was guilty. Without his father's money, he's nothing. Considering he was flat broke he's figuring that he will get fed, a bed to sleep on and free medical care. Again it's all about him. He doesn't care about the two women he killed. He's such a bad actor.
Or as my mom likes to call him, “Oh I hate that Van Slooter”
This is the only telling of Natalie’s story that made any kind of sense - to me. Thank you so much, Jiles! I am a huge fan. And hopefully you get to read this message, because your voice is so familial feeling to me. It feels like a bedtime story every time you tell the most horrific of tales. Yes, the tales are horrific, but your voice makes me think of the victim…not the crime! Keep this up!

It's really not that bad a place. Even things like getting mugged are not really a worry and few places can say that.

I grew up in exactly the same school, hotels, and social circles as this guy and i assure you it's a great place to grow up. But he's just a psycho POS you know....they could be anywhere and that is what they do regardless of their environment.

I was born in netherlands Now live in Netherlands antilles The way Joran stayed silent for so long at that young age is scary
As a Belgian I followed the case at the time it had just happened. We were such fans of Peter R. de Vries, a crime reporter who was instrumental in getting Joran arrested. He was shot a few years ago. Such a loss. I do hope he is mentioned in this episode! Now you are living in The Netherlands, it would be such a shame not to.
Lmao okay, I'm sorry. But, "Pimpology Crew"??? WHAT!? 🤣

This simply shows a lack of respect from the lousy monster and his buddies. And normally people are saddened and dismayed by such reports. Especially with 2 such bestially murdered victims.

Literally the corniest shit I’ve ever heard
It will forever boggle my mind that some legal systems have a statute of limitations on murder, much less than one that is
0:16 I think the low key monster is the staff and her friends who abandoned her to her fate. How do you go on with your lives. Put your vacation photos on social media (probably posing on the beach with the killer). Chaperones, don't make laugh. They were Chaperones of beer bottles and sun screen. That uncovienent killer on your photos can be cropped out just like she was!
the "it's never a mannequin" sign cracks me up
Yo im sorry...but why the fuck are yall taking high schoolers to a sketchy ass island where they can drink, gamble and basically run amok. With 7 chaperones? You're asking for some shit to go down, maybe not to this degree but jesus

Natalie never leaving Aruba, oh Jiles, how powerful and tragic a statement 😢
26:35 He left her passed out on the beach and went home!? Even as a lie, that is something I would be ashamed to admit….AND, there’s no way in hell I would have done such an irresponsible uncaring thing to anyone, guy or girl! That he would use that as a lie and think it was acceptable behavior tells me exactly the way this selfish bastard thinks……and it’s not good! It’s utterly despicable! I couldn’t sleep knowing I’d abandoned a vulnerable young woman alone and at unimaginable risk. That’s just me and I hope every other person watching this. It’s psychopathic !
He's disgusting! Entitled and just vile! I hate how he's treated Natalie's Mother.
I am from the Netherlands and i was obsessed with this case at the time. The news was on the radio while i was at work and right after the report they put up this new song: September - Cry for you and well it made me cry for her just listening to the lyrics. Now these 2 are forever connected to eachother. Such a sweet looking girl she was and my age as well, maybe that's another reason it stuck with me. The van der Sloot family never was populair here. Thankfully he is in one of the worst prisons in the world.

The van der Sloots are the laughingstock in your country?
As a father of a beautiful daughter, Joran definitely would have told me where she was....and then he would have gone away.

👋 Hey there!!!
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. On television we saw the undercover action where he told how he killed Natelie and what he did with her body. Unfortunately, this journalist was murdered for the work he did. The Netherlands is ashamed of Joran. It's unbelievable that he was able to walk and travel freely.
Funny thing in this case "Johann van der Smut", a.k.a. Goldmember, was a parody of this monster. Because at that time... this looked to be a bit harsh in hindsight because Joran van der Sloot's the real Dutch villain.

That's pretty wild, but it has to be a coincidence. Because "Goldmember" came out in 2002, the events of this case took place 3 years later in 2005, and van der Sloot wasn't arrested until 2010.

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.

What's more is that they're the laughingstock. The van der Sloots are nothing more than ostracized laughingstocks. They're so much hated in the Netherlands, so yeah.

I will never be able to forget poor Natalie. We all knew pretty much right away what had happened to her. Rip Natalie and give peace to her parents who have been thru hell with this dude. Absolutely crazy
I’m so happy you covered this!
Highschoolers😅 allowed to have a "morning cocktail" and play Blackjack What could go wrong?
This guy was just a psychopath of the most charming and wealthy kind.
Yes!!! Hey Jiles, if there's one thing I love in the videos of This is Monsters, I am a huge fan of your GTFOOH!! (Get the F#!%* out of here!) An occasional reaction to the stories you deliver. Keep up the good work!! 👍👍😀😀
I hate this guy so much, I almost didn't watch. What he was able to get away with infuriates me to no end.
Smart leaving her alone with 4 guys.what could go wrong!!
