Grew up down the street from this family. Remain very close friends with his mom. This story is mind boggling. Got little to no media coverage and was the year prior to Natalee Halloway.
Still feeling the loss of her husband, the family – Yvonne, Max, daughter Dominique and Yvonne’s sister-in-law – went to Aruba for a vacation. While at the hotel, they were befriended by a man and his adopted adult son. Yvonne, who said she was hesitant at first, gave in to Max’s pleading. The ride was supposed to last only 45 minutes, but when the two didn’t show up after an hour, Yvonne knew something was wrong. A few hours later, a rescue boat found the man floating without the watercraft four miles from shore, but not Max. A three-day search ensued – with help from the Aruban Coast Guard, helicopters and a marine plane – but was eventually called off when nothing was found, according to police reports. Both Yvonne and the man were questioned by the Dutch police in Aruba, but the man was never considered a suspect, according to transcribed reports. The man told police that the two went for a ride on the personal watercraft and stopped at a sandbar. Max turned off his machine and dived into the water. He could not get the machine to start again. They made several attempts to tow the watercraft, but to no avail. There were, however, inconsistencies in the man’s statements.
