Max DeVries - 580

About this episode

May 12, 2004. Noord, Aruba. Since 2004, Yvonne DeVries has tried to get justice for her 14-year-old son, Max. That day he and an older man took jet skis out into the ocean from their resort in Aruba. Max never came back. The Aruban police declared him lost at sea and, using the statement of the older man, decided it was an accident. However, Yvonne knew something wasn’t right. Why did the old man and his son seem to single Max out? Why did he have scratches on his neck and hands after getting pulled from the ocean? Why didn’t the Aruban police look into the man's shady past? And probably the most important question: What actually happened out in the Caribbean Sea on May 12, 2004?
