If you dwell somewhere in the general vicinity of North America, you probably remember the big Natalee Holloway case from a couple of years ago (mainly from the non-stop outrage beamed out nightly on Nancy Grace's primetime character-assassination show and tell).
It seems one Dutch journalist hasn't left the case alone. He's seen in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyZEM7ECohs) getting a glass of wine splashed in his face, after questioning the integrity of main suspect Joran van deer Sloot.
Now, after completing a hidden camera investigation, Peter R de Vries claims to have cracked the case (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gQqC8crc1o).
His findings will be presented in a documentary, set to air this Sunday on the Dutch SBS6 channel at 9:30, local time. It'll likely be on Youtube by Monday morning. While this originally seemed to be another over-hyped "Action News" type of investigation, there might just be something to it. An Aruban prosecutor is now seeking the arrest (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/02/01/aruba.holloway/index.html) of that wine-throwing suspect, after reviewing material prepared by the filmmaker.
At this point, I would find it highly ironic if excessive TV coverage actually contributed in some way to this case. Still, this might just live up to the hype, and succeed where Aruban, Dutch and US investigators had all failed.
(Feel free to move to the general or debate boards if there's any discussion).
