He had billed it as "the most interesting and revealing crime show" of his career and it was sold to US networks before it was broadcast on Dutch television.

De Vries took his viewers to Aruba where, on 30 May 2005, US teenager Natalee Holloway was celebrating the final night of her high school graduation trip to the island.
