RSSDutch Crime Reporter Peter DeVries Who Covered Natalee Holloway Case and Pursued Joran Van Der Sloot Retires
Peter DeVries retires …
Peter DeVries, the Dutch crime reporter, who covered the disappearance of Natalle Holloway and hounded prime suspect Joran Van der Sloot has retired. DeVries did yeoman work investigating the death and disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba. DeVries was also Joran Van der Sloot’s worst nightmare, other than Beth Holloway, as the Dutch crime reporter hunted the “little Dutch boy” throughout Europe and Thailand. How unfortunate, DeVries told the Dutch newspaper AD that he is simply tired of chasing crime stories.
Thank you Peter for all that you have done. Don’t forget Dana’s interview with Peter R. DeVries who was nice enough to take the time to sit down with Scared Monkeys Radio and that nice difference in time. The Dana Pretzer interview with Peter can be heard HERE.

The Dutch television reporter who secretly taped Joran van der Sloot confessing to dumping Natalee Holloway’s body in the ocean….a “confession” later denied and discounted…is retiring from his crime reporting television show.
Peter DeVries became a continuing thread in the six year old mystery of Mountain Brook teen Natalee Holloway after her disappearance on a graduation trip to Aruba.

Although Natalee was last seen leaving an Oranjestad bar with van der Sloot, Aruban authorities never charged him in the case.
DeVries aired a show based on twenty hours of secret taping of van der Sloot by a friend. In the program that aired on Dutch commercial station SBS6, van der Sloot told his friend how Natalee’s body was dumped in the ocean after she went into convulsions on the beach.

One would have thought that with the fantastic undercover work that Peter Devries did in obtaining a confession by Joran Van der Sloot in catching him on tape saying that Natalee was thrown into the ocean would have got Joran Van der Sloot arrested and convicted for her murder. However, this is Aruba we are talking about and the what is up is down and what is black is white. Using common sense and having a confession was not enough in the anti-world of Aruba. Instead Aruba authorities said they needed more evidence than just the tapes if a van der Sloot confession.
Peter DeVries was nominated for two Emmys for his work on the Natalee Holloway case. We wish Peter DeVries the best, you are always welcome to some back and investigate crimes if you find you are missing it. The fact that Peter Devries was Dutch did much with those from the Netherlands who thought Van der Sloot was innocent. His Euro cred made many across the Pond understand that Joran Van der Sloot was a sociopath and responsible in the death of Natalee Holloway, even though Aruba never has the guts to try and convict him. Sadly, Joran would kill again on the 5th anniversary of the death of Natalee, this time in Peru.

Wishing you the best!
Thanks for all you do…
Sincerely,
Hope
Thank you Peter R. DeVries and staff for all you’ve done through the years in the pursuit of justice for Natalee Holloway.
Your work has definitely kept the hope for justice alive so many times when it seemed hopeless, and proved time after time that regardless how much evidence; the Aruban authorities never intended to prosecute anyone involved in Natalee’s disappearance.
You showed the world that Joran van der Sloot was not the person his mother, father, and so many others claimed he was over six years ago. They ALL lied. And then they propagated lies about Natalee and her family in an effort to blame them for her disappearance! I feel confident that tactic had worked for them many times before; and more than likely kept many of Joran’s prior victims quiet.
Thank you Peter, for your tireless efforts in exposing the truth. Your work will never be forgotten.
Wishing you the best always!
Well done Mr. Peter DeVries! Your admirable work has
been welcomed by all those who respect diligent and
honest investigative reporting. You are a gentleman sir!

His tv-show did good things.
His political idea’s were a different matter.
Then he was just plain anoying and arrogant.
He is a guy that you either like or don’t like.
How many times has he retired, now???
Peter DeVries, is needed badly. He will never be replaced.
