Zwei Niederländerinnen welche nach dem 1 April 2014 in Panama ums Leben kamen.
Es gibt seltsame Fotoaufnahmen welche in den Tagen des Verschwindens mit dem Handy gemacht wurden.
Es wurde auch ein privater Ermittler der Familien aus den Niederlande eingeschaltet, der diesen mysteriösen Fall nicht abschließend klären konnte.
So wurde z.B. die ordentlich zusammengelegte Hose von Kris Kremers gefunden sowie Ihren Rucksack der neben den Mobiltelefonen der beiden (daher die Fotos) einige Dollar sowie zwei BH´s etc. beinhaltete.
Dieser Fund war an einer Stelle der des öfteren von Personen frequentiert wird, die Finderin hat erklärt das die Gegenstände am Tag vorher noch nicht dort waren. Am Tag des Auffinden des Rucksacks etc. waren beide Niederländerinnen bereits Tod.
Ein sehr merkwürdiger Fall, auch wenn einige Theorie davon ausgehen das sich die beiden einfach im Urwald verirrt haben, kommen doch beim Eintauchen in diesen Fall erhebliche Zweifel an dieser Version (offizielle Version Panama Ermittler).
Die beiden waren Ortskundig (was diese Wegstrecke betrifft, weiterhin ist eine Landmarke gut erkennbar) und hatten auch den Hund der Gastfamilie dabei, der alleine zu der Gastfamilie zurückkerte.
Es gibt unzählige Artikel wenn man die Namen in die Suchmaschine eingibt. Ich werde nur einige als Quelle angeben, die Verwirrung wird größer je mehr Artikel man ließt.
Ich war selber schon für einige Zeit in der Region Boquete. So wie ich die einheimische Bevölkerung erlebt habe, wird keine Gastfamilie einer mehrstündigen Tour zustimmt in der Kleidung welche beide an diesem Tag trugen.
Im großen und ganzen sind die Verhältnisse nach meiner Erfahrung (was die Bedrohungen in der Wildnis betrifft) bei weitem nicht so gefährlich wie in einigen Berichten zu diesem Fall beschrieben.
Die meisten Artikel sind auf Englisch, einige auf Niederländisch.

Forest Disappearances, Panama
Kris Kremers & Lisanne Froon, Disappeared April 1st 2014, Continental Divide in the rainforests of Panama’s highest cordillera near Boquete.
Kris Kremers & Lisanne Froon disappearance
Dutch girls, Kris Kremers, 21, and Lisanne Froon, 22, went on a hike in the Continental Divide of Panama on April 1st 2014 and were found dead weeks later. They had come to the area to study Spanish and volunteer to work with children in the community. What happened to the "holandesas" girls is the subject of much speculation, with disturbing photographic evidence of their last hours.
They left Boquete in good weather at mid-morning to hike the La Pianista trail, an up and down path, hence the name. The area beyond the trail is very rugged, steep and dangerous, particularly during the April to October wet season, where areas become treacherous and even the indigenous Ngobe tribe tread warily. The trail runs from the Chiriquí state into the province of Bocas del Toro, crossing steep river gorges up to 70 feet deep which need to be crossed using cable bridges.
Kris Kremers disappearance
After they were declared missing, authorities eventually put dog teams on the ground and helicopters, but initial searches proved fruitless.
A few months later some scattered bone fragments were found on the far side of the Continental Divide, on the banks of a river called the Culebra or Serpent. Lisanne Froon’s left foot was found intact and inside her boot, showing multiple fractures of the metatarsals. DNA tests confirmed a match, but the actual cause of death remains a mystery. The authorities believe they were involved in a hiking accident, but others suggest foul play with a government inspired cover-up so as to not impact the lucrative tourist industry to the area. About two months after the disappearance, searchers found Kris Kremers’s jean shorts on a narrow piece of land between two fast-flowing and powerful tributaries. The Ngobe people who found the shorts said they found them zipped and folded and placed on a rock high above the water.
KRIS KREMERS & LISANNE FROON disappearance
Kris and Lisanne were certainly not planning an extended hiking trip. They were assumed to have left the La Pianista trail and gone into the indigenous trails for some unknown reason.They were not equipped for a prolonged period in the forest with no food or survival gear. Were they abducted or forced off the trail by persons unknown? Hikers who plan to go off into the more adventurous areas usually pay guides and specialist equipment and supplies to last for days are the norm including tents, food and rain proof clothing. Apparently the pair were due to go out with an experienced guide the following day, but went alone on this day.
KRIS KREMERS & LISANNE FROON backpack found
A key piece of evidence was the discovery of Lisanne's Canon Powershot SX270 camera with over a hundred images on the digital memory card in addition to passports, cell phones, sunglasses, cash and their underwear. It was found in its case inside Lisanne's backpack on the Culebra river bank.
The first pictures on April 1st were standard tourist shots with both women laughing and smiling on a bright sunny day with some selfies taken at the overlook of the Divide. Most of the pictures were taken by Lisanne with Kris walking ahead of her on the trail.
Then we see the girls apparently following an indigenous trail near a stream bed heading downhill, away from their destination, Boquete. Kris' face on one of the shots showing anxiety with sunset around 6 pm in the rainforest.
Analysis of the call records of the iPhone owned by Kris showed her trying to reach an emergency services number in Holland at 9:39 pm followed by a call to a Panamanian emergency number. On April 6th, 5 days after their hike began the mobile phone stopped working, presumably because the battery went dead. There was evidence that someone, presumably Lisanne, had tried to access the phone, but she did not have the PIN. Had Kris given the phone to Lisanne?
The pictures on the camera of most interest were taken on April 8th, many in complete darkness, with rain falling, with some taken a few seconds apart and others up to 15 minutes later. Several shots appear to have been taken deliberately as they were not blurred indicating that they were not taken under duress. At this point the girls had been in the rainforest for a week. Some have speculated that they were trying to use the camera as a light source in the pitch black or perhaps to signal potential rescuers or even to scare away wild animals. But analysis of the shots shows that many are taken below foliage and not in the open and if the girls were trying to attract attention they would have taken pictures in the open.
KRIS KREMERS & LISANNE FROON disappearance
A single close-up seems to show a wound to the right side of Kris' head in the temple area and blood on her hair. Lisanne may have been using the camera to offer clues to subsequent rescuers where Kris was if she needed to be left behind because of injuries. Some of the shots appear to be orientated upwards whilst others show ravines and gorges and even man-made structures most likely to be a Cable Bridge. These bridges are very dangerous, especially in rain. One photo seems to show a bridge three miles from Boquete, on the western bank of al tributary that forms the headwaters of the Serpent River. Were the girls trying to follow the river downstream as advocated by many survival guides?
The most likely scenario is that Lisanne tried to hike out of the Serpent-River canyon in order to get help. The jean shorts found were located on the opposite, or eastern, bank of the tributary from where the night photos were made.
It seems that both girls died because of the difficult and dangerous conditions, but was there something more sinister? It was strange that one of their bags was found some way from the river without water damage, but if foul play was involved why weren't the valuables stolen? Maybe a rapist, murderer just wanted to taunt the authorities or they came across drug traffickers. A sad case indeed, with a terrible last few days for the Dutch girls.

Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon were Dutch students who died on or shortly after April 1, 2014, while hiking in Panama. After an extensive search, portions of their bodies were found a few months later. Their cause of death could not be determined definitively, but Dutch authorities working with forensic and search-rescue investigators thought it likely the students had accidentally fallen from a cliff after becoming lost.[3] The circumstances and aftermath of their disappearance have resulted in much speculation about the cause of death.[4][5][3] Foul play could not be entirely ruled out and Panamanian officials came under fire for allegedly mishandling the disappearance and aftermath.[6][7] Further investigation into the case in 2017 uncovered enough new evidence to suggest foul play,[8] as well as a possible link to other murders in the area.[9]

Background
Lisanne Froon, 22, was described as aspiring, optimistic, intelligent, and a passionate volleyball player, and Kris Kremers, 21, as open, creative, and responsible. Both grew up in Amersfoort. Froon had graduated with a degree in Applied Sciences from Deventer the previous September, and Kremers had just completed her studies in cultural social education, specializing in art education at the University of Utrecht. Only a few weeks prior to leaving for Panama, Froon had moved in with Kremers in a dorm room in Amersfoort, and they worked together at the café/restaurant 'In den Kleinen Hap'. They both saved up money for six months and planned to go to Panama together on a special trip to learn Spanish, as well as to do something of significance for the locals, particularly volunteering with children. The trip was also supposed to be a reward to Froon for graduating.[10][11]
Disappearance
Kremers and Froon arrived in Panama for a six-week vacation on March 15, 2014. They toured Panama for two weeks before arriving in Boquete on March 29 to live with a local family for a month while volunteering with children. On April 1, they went hiking with their hosts' dog around 11:00 near the clouded forests that surrounded the Baru volcano, possibly the trail of Pianista, not far from Boquete. They wrote on Facebook that they intended to walk around Boquete, and it was reported that they had been seen having brunch with two young Dutch men before embarking on the trail.[12][13]
Their hosts became alarmed when their dog returned home that night without the young women. Froon's parents stopped receiving text messages, which both women had been sending to their families daily. On the morning of April 2, Froon and Kremers missed an appointment with a local guide.[14] On April 3, authorities began aerial searches of the forest and local residents began searching. On April 6, the parents of Kremers and Froon arrived in Panama along with police, dog units, and detectives from the Netherlands to conduct a full-scale search of the forests for ten days. The parents offered a US$30,000 reward.[15][16][7]
Backpack
Ten weeks later, a local woman turned in Froon's blue backpack, which she said she had found in a rice paddy by a riverbank near her village of Alto Romero, in the Bocas del Toro region. She said she was sure it had not been there the day before. The backpack contained two pairs of sunglasses, US$83 in cash, Froon's passport, a water bottle, Froon's camera, two bras, and the women's phones – all packed, dry, and in good condition. The women's phones showed that for some hours after the start of their hike, someone had dialed 112 (the international emergency number) and 911 (the emergency number in Panama).[4][17][15]
The first distress call had been made just hours after beginning their hike: one from Kremers's iPhone at 16:39 and shortly after that, one from Froon's Samsung Galaxy at 16:51. None of the calls had gone through due to a lack of reception in the area except for one 911 call attempt on April 3 that lasted for a little over a second before breaking up. After April 5, Froon's phone battery became exhausted after 05:00 and was not used again. Kremers's iPhone would not make any more calls either but was intermittently turned on to search for reception. After April 6, multiple attempts of a false PIN code were entered into the iPhone; it never received the correct code again. One report showed that between 7 and 10 April, there were 77 emergency call attempts with the iPhone. On April 11, the phone was turned on at 10:51, and was turned off for the last time at 11:56.[18][19]

Froon's camera contained photos from April 1 suggesting that the women had taken a trail at the overlook of the Continental Divide and wandered into some wilderness hours before their first attempt to reach 911, but with no signs of anything unusual. On April 8, ninety flash photos were taken between 01:00 and 04:00, apparently deep in the jungle and in near-complete darkness. A few photos show that they were possibly near a river or a ravine. Some show a twig with plastic bags and candy wrappers on top of a rock, another shows what looks like toilet paper and a mirror on another rock, and another shows the back of Kremers's head with what looks like blood by her temple.[4][20][17]
Discovery of remains
The discovery of the backpack led to new searches along the Culebra.[21] Kremers' jean shorts, zipped and neatly folded, were found atop a rock on the opposite bank of the tributary a few kilometers away from where Froon's backpack had been discovered (although later witnesses would claim the jeans were not neatly folded but found in the river itself[22]). Two months later, closer to where the backpack was discovered, a pelvis and a boot with a foot inside were found. Soon at least 33 widely scattered bones were discovered along the same river bank. DNA testing confirmed they belonged to Froon and Kremers. Froon's bones still had some skin attached to them, but Kremers's bones appeared to have been bleached.[12][20][17] A Panamanian forensic anthropologist later claimed that under magnification "there are no discernible scratches of any kind on the bones, neither of natural nor cultural origin—there are no marks on the bones at all.
