The textbook story names Watson&Crick as the discoverers of the double helix. That is the story every biology student learns leaving out the woman who took the actual photograph that made the discovery possible&the colleagues who passed it to Watson w/o ever asking her permission
[W]riting—really writing—isn’t producing text. It’s taking a stand. It’s deciding, line by line, what’s worth saying & what deserves to stay silent. It’s accepting that you get it wrong, that sometimes you screw up and that other times you hit the mark without knowing exactly why
He's a really horrible person who was convicted in Peru for killing another woman.
Google's Gemini confirms that he claimed that Natalee had a seizure while they were on the beach and died. He said he panicked and called a friend to help him dump her body in the ocean from a boat (which he later retracted).
Second time, he took a $25 K down payment on a $250 K reward from Natalee's parents and led their lawyer to a specific site in Aruba, claiming Natalee was buried in the foundation of a house. He took the down payment and skipped off to Peru where he murdered another woman. Gemini says he took a polygraph for his 2023 confession.
He's probably a sociopath and maybe polygraphs are unreliable but he's the best candidate for why Natalee went missing, imo.
