You right the first time.
Isn't JVDS simply a piece of work??
And it's so chilling to watch Gretched being entirely taken in with him, almost smitten, as he tells that revolting story about selling NH for $9800 --- that interview is just repulsively revolting.
I do think that she was sold, but I also think there were adults on Aruba who knew what happened and who part of the coverup. That is just my OPINION of course.
