Part 45- Max DeVries · Part II — “Currents, Accounts, and the Open Sea”

Part II sets the story against the water and the record. We rebuild the minute-by-minute timeline from launch to first search call and test the returning companion’s account—stall, separation, drift—against wind, set, and what the sea typically gives back. With care, we also address what reputable reporting has put on the record about the two American men who befriended Max’s family: a past police statement involving “crimes against children,” no names published, and no charges in Max’s case. From there, we keep it procedural—how investigators would vet backgrounds, consolidate statements, and re-run the physics with 2025 tools (drift reanalysis, AIS overlays, hour-meter/maintenance checks). No theatrics, no speculation—just the difference between a narrative that floats and one that carries weight, and a practical checklist of what would actually move the file.
