May 12, 2004 - a day that began like any other for the Devries family. They were on vacation in Aruba, seeking a moment’s peace, maybe a bit of hope, after a great loss. Fourteen year old Max, eager for an adventure, asked to go out on a jet ski with a man they recently befriended.
By afternoon, that simple request would become the portal to a mystery no one has solved. The man returned - alone. Max did not.
What’s astonishing is how quickly questions outpaced answers. The man’s story would shift - from jet ski trouble, to a tow gone wrong, to Max slipping away in the waves, to even claiming he was swimming for shore.
Yet no one was ever charged. Max was declared “lost at sea”.
What really happened to Max Devries on that Aruban ocean. Was it a tragic accident, or something far more sinister? Listen as we dive into Aruba, the case of Max DeVries, and how to stay alive on vacation.
