ORANJESTAD(AAN): During the well known Dutch program “Pauw en Witteman”, the renowned Peter R. de Vries of the program “Misdaad verslaggever” demonstrated that he was very convinced that Joran van der Sloot must know more about the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

He said that Joran should still be considered a principal suspect in the case of the young American’s disappearance.

This especially given the fact that many times Joran lied during his statements [to police]. At a given moment, Joran asked Peter de Vries if in the future he would apologize to him if it comes out that he is innocent. De Vries did not respond.

At the end of the show, Joran asked de Vries the same question again and de Vries said that if it came out that he is innocent, he would apologize.

At that point Joran said to de Vries that he does not think that he is man enough to apologize. Joran then started to show the anger that he had towards de Vries.

After the program, Joran suddenly grabbed a glass of red wine and threw it in de Vries’ face. He then exited the studio with his father.

His mother, Anita, apologized for what her son did.

Afterwards, Joran himself apologized a few times and de Vries accepted this [apology]. After the program, de Vries said that the fact that Joran threw the wine in his face hurt Joran himself.

According to de Vries, Joran’s parents were trying to portray him as a very well mannered young man, but with this action Joran demonstrated that he has problems controlling his emotions and who knows if something like this could have happened when he was with Natalee.
