Hi everyone,

I just saw a press release on the website of the Dutch Crime journalist Peter R de Vries. They claim to have solved the Natalee Holloway case! The programme airs sunday night in The Netherlands and Natalee's mom has come to Holland to be in it as well.
They refuse to say how or who did it, but they say they will tell us in the programme. Can't wait to see if it really was Joran!
Too bad for all you Americans who will have to wait until monday to hear about it

Edit: website is http://www.peterrdevries.nl ( I believe there is an English translation as well)

Who the hell is Natalee Holloway?

*edit* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalee_Holloway

Okay, found it.

You must never watch T.V. or they didn't say anything about it in Canada.

Natalee Holloway was an American student who went on Holiday to Aruba. There she met a Dutch guy named Joran and after that was never heard from again. So everyone believes she was murdered, most believe by Joran (and/or his friends), but the DA can't prove it. So now it seems that Peter R de Vries has found conclusive evidence about the case.

Edit: I'll leave this up in case other people don't know about it either

Oh, we get all the american news...Just didn't place the name out of context, afterall the disapearance happened May 30, 2005

It was in the news again recently, Aruba re-arrested a few of the suspects but then released them again and said the case was closed. Seems like they've kinda butchered it so far.

Understandable, it never left the news here though. Two weeks ago Joran threw a glass of wine into Peter de Vries' face in a tv programme, so after that, the whole thing kinda took off again here

Always a good strategy to look innocent if you're the prime suspect in a murder investigation.

Maybe he confused it with poker and tried to bluff

I think there will be a lot of sleepy students at my faculty monday morning ( I study Criminology and the show airs until around 23.30 )

I'm sure the case has been broken wide open by some random journalist, and they're just waiting to give details.

That, or some douchebag is trying to make a name for themselves.

He solved it, I'm 100% sure. Peter de Vries has solved a large amount of murdercases over the years and he would never say he solved it if he hadn't. I'll post the details here sunday as soon as I've watched it

I tell you what though, if Joran Vanderslooooot didn't do it, I have to feel a little bad for the kid.

FYP


Also, you use too many smilies... but welcome to the forum.

good god, has anyone informed Nancy Grace?

I don't know what FYP stands for, but thanks for the welcome. Get used to the smilies, I'm a smilie kinda person

Smilie, really? From your picture I would have guessed 'smarmy'.

What's 'smarmy'?






hate it when people try to insult me with words I don't know the meaning of

Don't worry, neither do they

smarmy

adjective
unpleasantly and excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech;


dictionary.com is our friend.

God, I feel stupid now but uhm...

What's suave and ingratiating?

Just think of every french guy you've ever met. Average all of their personalities together and there you go.

It's a 12th grade word...some of us made it that far.

Hiyooooooo!!!

perhaps you missed the line where I said: dictionary.com is our friend.

iiiieeelll

And he says that's how I look? Pffff

Some of us are also Dutch and English isn't their native language, thank you very much

Don't be sensitive. He was giving Balloon Guy a hard time, not you.

I know...what a jerk that guy is.



Like Jeff said, I was just making some fanoodle with Balloon Guy. Your English is actually pretty impressive.

Oh yea?


Okay you actually got me on that part.


But I'm not happy about it

QFT. Maybe you should refer to her as a useless clump of cells, you heartless bastard.

Somebody better be getting some rice for this.

You're forgiven dear But it's not quite fair to other Dutchies, I work for an American company and I have to speak English all the time so I got a bit of an advantage over other Dutch-people

US too.

You'll probably know the company too. Work for Adobe

Callback!

I use your CSII for work...newspapers...

whoa. I'm looking at an adobe document RIGHT NOW.


freaky.



and don't mind speedz. his technique with women involves a steady stream of degradation and humiliation until they develop an eating disorder. only then is he really happy.

Isn't that the cutting edge graphics program that handles multi-level rastering and deep level rendering graphics capabilties?

Yea, I can see why the smilies are big with you guys.

I like what you did there. A lot.

Say fleur outloud. Its a strange word, kind of fun to say, but after a couple times you feel like you have downsydrome and recently suffered a stroke and lost feeling in the right side of your face. Oh and drunk.

If it ain't broke...

I have to add '-de-lis' when I say it.

I'm an artisit

It's French, means flower. And you're right, when English speaking people try to pronounce it, it usually sounds pretty dumb.

edit: but 9 times out of 10, the reason it's sounds dumb has nothing to do with the name...

I have to add 'Delacour' when I say it.

I'm a dork.

I want to get me a tattoo of a Fleur-de-lis actually. Just too scared I might regret it later so haven't done it yet. I stick to my piercings for now.

I've always wanted to meet a woman with a computer keyboard tattooed across her back so that I could pretend I'm surfing the internet while I do her from behind.

You need professional help my dear friend

You have no idea.

Me too. But I'd want her tatoo to be of a picture of grainy amateur porn.

no, he needs a woman with a keyboard tattoed on her back - didn't you read his post?

Whatever you desire.
