One of Natalee's friends, not Dash, said that Natalee went up to JvdS at the casino and made some comment. I think it was the smaller dark haired girl, two girlfriends were present for the FNC interview.

Her name is Ruth something or something Ruth.

Yes, that girl said Natalee introduced herself to Joran. I have referred to that conversation before. that is where the conflict among the friends come in. Some said she had been with Joran before; those girls said she was at the same gambling table and got up and introduced herself. So when she really "met" Joran seems to be unknown even among her friends.
