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. In a gripping two-hour whodunit, crime reporter Peter R. de Vries reconstructed in detail what happened on that fateful night on a sandy Caribbean beach in mid-2005. By Theo Tamis
On the beach...she wasn't ticking anymore. So I went to a phone booth and called this friend. [...] He went into the sea and dumped her."

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.
