Last Images of Lisanne Froon & Kris Kremers - 2 girls lost hiking in Panama. Thread starter thehook13; Start date Aug 9, 2016; Forums. There's all sorts of demonic faces to be seen in the photo's. Something in the woods made them run frantically around in the dark. You huddle up at night time during these situations. Kris Kremers, 21, and Lisanne Froon, 22, who went out for a brief hike near a mountain resort in Panama in 2014 and never came back. What followed is a shocking an still unexplained story. At the time of their disappearance, Kris and Lisanne were on break from their studies back in the Netherlands.
For ten days, search teams had scoured the dense, Panama rainforest. Dogs, helicopters, ground teams.But not a single trace of the two missing women had been found.There was nothing for it but to call off the search.It seemed no one would ever know what had happened to Lisanne Froon, 22, and her best mate Kris Kremers, 21.They were both students.And they’d both saved up for ages for their trip to Panama.It was to be the experience of a lifetime. They’d study Spanish, volunteer at a local charity and stay with a host family in the small town of Boquete, on the edge of Panama’s sprawling and vast rainforest. Boquete, Panama (Photo: Alamy)A whole ten thousand kilometers from their home in Amersfoort, the Netherlands.On 1 April 2014, they’d been in Boquete a fortnight.First thing that morning, they had Spanish lessons.Then, at 11am, Lisanne and Kris decided to go on a walk.They’d take the Pianista trail, a path running along the edge of the rainforest.It’s a path well-trod by tourists. An accessible way to see some of the rainforest within a safe distance of Boquete town.Local guides arrange tours for visitors who like hiking, or who want to spot some of the region’s rare plants or even rarer birds.It follows a winding river known to locals as the Serpent. And it wasn’t the kind of trail that’d be a problem for Lisanne.
She loved extreme sports, had been mountaineering in the Alps many times before.Anyway, it wouldn’t be a massive hike.Both Lisanne and Kris wrote on Facebook before putting on their rucksacks and setting off that they were just going for a short walk.But they never came home.That night, Lisanne and Kris’ host family raised the alarm.Local authorities launched an aerial search. Authorities in the Netherlands sent search and rescue teams, too. But after that, photo after photo of the jungle. Taken after dark and using a flash.Piles of rocks, some from a distance, some close up. Twigs and branches decorated with plastic bags.
Sweet wrappers arranged on top of a boulder. Sheets of toilet paper lain out across the earth.Some of the photos were taken just seconds apart. And not a single person in any of the picturesexcept for one.A photo of Kris. A wound to the side of her head, blood on her skin, in her hair.Investigators couldn’t tell if Kris was alive in the photos. Or dead.They couldn’t understand why the photos had been taken.Or by whom.Lisanne?Someone else? A vigil for the missing women (Photo: Alamy)Authorities launched another search of the area where they believed Lisanne and Kris may have gone missing.This time, they made a chilling discovery.A single walking boot. Identified as Lisanne’s.And in that walking boot, a sock.
And in that sock, the bones of Lisanne Froon’s left foot and ankle.Scattered around were other tiny bone fragments. Some belonged to Kris.The rest belonged to as many as three others.Three unidentified others.On a rock nearby, investigators found Kris’s stonewashed denim shorts.The very pair she’d been wearing in the selfies taken on Lisanne’s camera.They’d been zipped up and folded neatly.Nothing else was found of Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers. The families of the missing women join the search (Photo: Alamy)In the weeks after the discovery, Panama’s attorney general released a statement saying the two women must have had a hiking accident and their remains dragged out of the rainforest by the Serpent River.Could they perhaps have got lost, and left Kris’s shorts, took those strange photos as a kind of Hansel and Gretel trail for whoever came looking for them?It was possible. But not everyone agreed.How, for instance, had Lisanne’s rucksack been washed five miles down the serpent riverand yet the electronics inside it remained undamaged?When bodies decompose, they leak fats and grease. Why had nothing of the kind been found on the rucksack, or on the other items found in the rainforest?What of the unidentified finger prints? The neatly folded shorts?And if it were an accident, why haven’t more remains been found – big bones, skulls, things rainforest animals wouldn’t eat.For some, Lisanne and Kris were the victims of a ferocious crime.Ambushed, abducted, murdered. Their clothes and their remains hidden deeper in the rainforest or destroyed.But if the pair had been ambushed, why hadn’t their attackers taken the $83 cash, the electronics?No one knows what happened.
