Episode 44 Max DeVries · Part I — “Nightmare in Paradise”
A postcard afternoon, two rented wave runners, and a story that never quite held. In Part I, we stay with the day itself—how fourteen-year-old Max, on vacation in Aruba with his mother and sister, struck up an easy poolside friendship with two fellow American guests; how a second-day invite to ride jet skis turned from thrill to alarm; and how only one rider came back. We rebuild the shoreline timeline from launch to first search call, walk the water conditions that afternoon (reef chop, cross-push, stall risk), and lay out the returning companion’s account—separation, drift, and the neck abrasions he said came from scrambling aboard. Then we map the first 48 hours: boats and helicopter grids, a silent wrack line that returned no tag or foam, and the official “lost at sea” posture that settled fast while a family’s questions did not. No theories yet—just the day, the search, and the gaps that kept a simple narrative from feeling complete.
