Why Henry Gonzales is untouchable ? Osman Valenzuela, the taxi driver, & others knew bad end but the very suspicious Henry Gonzales walks free as if nothing happened. WHY ??

[@mikemoreno4469]

A medium friend said that Henry is being protected but that protection will soon come to an end. The other question that is begging is where is Edwin? He seems to have just vanished.

[@haithemcherif1077]

@@mikemoreno4469 Thanks. Who exactly protects Henry Gonzalez? Regarding Edwin Aguirre, my guess is that he is in another country living under FAKE papers and FAKE identity. Investigators have to make sure that Osman Valenzuela & the taxi driver really died ,it can be just staged,just a movie while those guys might be in another country living under FAKE identity. It can be a deal such as ' we ll make u leave the country,we don t want to see you here once again,if u come back, u get killed'

[@notifysend1015]

They're a family of influential landowners in that area with interests in tourism which coincides with the tourism interests of the government. The wealthy landowners with tourism interests in the area needed the case to go away to save their families from prosecution and to protect their own tourist interests in the area and the government needed to protect the country's tourist interests as a priority over getting justice for two murdered foreigners. It's just business nothing personal.

[@steelcurtain187]

This is really fascinating stuff. I appreciate you covering all of this. This whole thing STINKS to high heaven. The people who are so sure this was just a case of getting lost are ignoring the obvious.

[@forestdweller5581]

You argued that so well....NOT.

[@acb5245]

Thankyou Scarlet. Amazing and terrifying stuff. The probability that it was an accident is, in my view, very small.

[@vangrun579]

Thank you Scarlet for posting this information. You did an amazing job. When they were buried under a mango tree near that place where the crime happened I can imagine why the remains of the girls were scattered near Alto Romero and why they were faking it into an accident. Imagine that Bandida place being searched. Tourism grades would drop, F would lose his income as a guide whom you cannot trust because his son was involved. Mrs. P would therefore go along with the scenario, not wanting tourism grades to drop.

[@forestdweller5581]

So you found their bodies under a mango tree? You are an idiot and you are hurting the people who truly care.

[@carlosbrizuela6521]

Another difficulty for a get-lost-or-accident-only scenario is this little-mentioned detail: that the girls apparently died naked; Kris's shorts are mentioned as having no biological trace of any kind, it is obvious that it was not there during the descomposition process then, it was removed earlier and apparently no abundant blood transfer ocurred in the event of an accident. About Lisanne's short, if I'm no mistaken, did they have broken side seams? Neither are any biological traces mentioned. We do not know anything about her underwear and shirts, the backpack, bras and others, it is not mentioned that they have traces of blood, a striking detail if it is only considered an accident. The bras were in the backpack, if someone thinks of hipotermia, well, it tell you that this behavior of ordering and wrapping things in a backpack that requires alertness and, on the other hand, undressing, is not typical. Hypothermia is clasiffed as mild 35-33 °C, moderate 32-30°C, and severa < 30°C body temperature. The temperatures are lower in the vicinity of the viewpoint and increase the further away you go; This is a cloud forest, it's not as hot as in an Amazon jungle. It is notable that in the night photos, with 7 days of disappearance, all the photos are in focus and there are no burry photos that can be attributed to tremors or sudden movements. The typical chills is mild hypothermia. It is something striking. Let's remember that the backpack was found quite for from photo 508 and the things were inside it, not scattered. Curiosities and coincidences everywhere. You have to apply Ockham's razor with all the information available, it's not just about simplicity.

[@doriangray5750]

I think the shorts being found separately is a smoking gun in itself tbh. If she died in the river/forest, her pelvic bone/shards & decomposition residue should have been detected inside the tight denim material. I'm honestly not sure how Losters can be happy with the theory she either took them off in a jungle, exposing herself completely to the elements, or every last part of her inside those shorts disintegrated & drifted off in anther direction. Logically, her shorts being found separately from her underwear/bones is a clear sign of foul play. I doubt 'paradoxical undressing' in this scenario: that usually only happens in extreme freezing conditions.

[@mikemoreno4469]

@@doriangray5750 , is it definite that the pelvis and rib actually belonged to Kris? I understand that they were very chemically bleached. Is it possible that there was no DNA to be harvested from them? The other bones that were found appear to be from previous native burials that have been washed away by flooding, so is it possible that the pelvis and rib do not belong to Kris?

[@doriangray5750]

@@mikemoreno4469 Yeah I think detailed forensic analysis determined their DNA & I presume Dutch scientists confirmed it. I could be wrong on that latter part, though, & maybe they just received paper confirmation from Panama & accepted the decision without independent analysis 🤔 I can't remember the exact details, it'll be on Scarlet's blog though

[@carlosbrizuela6521]

​@@doriangray5750 Totally agree. There is a whole set of factual, circumstancial, logical and rational elements that indicate manipulation of the findings and a high probability of foul play involved in this case. Now, if we add up all the information from podcast, I think it is entirely possible that the case should be re-evaluated by the competent authorities. They don't because there's no real pressure on them.

[@jenshoefer7944]

Yes, there are just way too many details and facts speaking for foul play

[@krishkarthik6930]

Waiting for another Netflix, or Hollywood movies to come up regarding this incident. And the entire world would be aware of it.

[@scarletr.7753]

Afraid that would be a Lost scenario most likely instead of a foul play one, but who knows!

[@roscluaran]

Thank you again, Scarlet, for sharing this interesting video. I do hope that the woman who provided the information of their fate is all right. How awful for Osman's mother as well as the families of the Kris and Lisanne. To not have any true justice for all involved is truly horrific.

[@AdvieAtkins]

one thing i just remembered (from my farming days) which is consistent with the podcast's data and the whole event; Phosphate; yeah, it is the mango fertilizer number#1, and also a powerful catalyst in body decomposition

[@kennethmacalpin7655]

Very interesting comment from Feliciano; "women shouldn't go alone". If they just got lost or fell, why would it matter that they were women? Men can get lost or fall just the same as women.

[@notifysend1015]

It's just victim blaming which is in his best interest.

[@saintarmstrong8790]

Hardly. If you want to play dumb feminist then go ahead. Latin America is the real world. Not your feminist fantasy where women are as strong and capable as a man in the jungle.

[@forestdweller5581]

And that same remark is used by EVERY parent who has a daughter.

[@mskiara18]

I hope Osman's mother and her surviving family is safe, I do not want her or the other people who may be witnesses to be murdered. The gang has a tight grip on the people that community to have witnesses be afraid to speak up. I deeply hate that these women suffered greatly on their last day alive, being beaten by hands or a hammer. 💔 If only he or the other men like the taxi driver shared their confession via text or online before their death, since they feared for their lives. Perhaps they left clues on their Facebook in the messages, who knows.

[@rogkeista1]

Great video. Thanks. Indeed a tragic story. Those poor girls were victims of great malevolence as manifested primarily in Henry, the gang leader, who was clearly also involved in demonic rituals. I believe Lysanne was more sensitive psychically than Kris and that she intuited that Boquete was a menacing place for them and that they should leave. She picked up on this dark energy not just from the place but specifically from these young men, and that they were particularly vulnerable and exposed to danger. But she could not articulate this to herself or Kris and they ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's the incomprehensible karma of that which shocks and baffles the most. None of these revelations in the podcasts surprise me. I concluded some time back after reading your brilliant and thorough blog Scarlet that the gang killed them and that they were abducted near the mirador and taken either down another trail or more likely to the red truck near the trailhead to be led to a property where they were raped and murdered. The lady who saw the truck return to the trailhead couldn't have seen the girls inside because the windows were tinted. Osman's mother's testimony is rock solid in my view and should, in a just world, re-activate the case. Witnesses to the incident in the pharmacy where Kris enraged one of the gang members...was it Henry?.....may come forward too. I think the gist of it is this.....Henry is a psychopath who cannot tolerate being slighted and offended by a woman, especially a gringo. I believe Kris rejected his advances in the pharmacy and from that point on the plan was in process to abduct and rape her and her friend too. I think Kris was the main target which is why he molested her first on that fateful day. Henry was the instigator and the principle perpetrator. Some questions......where are the girls' skulls and other body parts? Especially the skulls. Where were they buried immediately after the killings? The land around both the property in Palo Alto and at Finca Laureana should be dug up and thoroughly investigated. My guess is that they were killed at Finca Laureana because it would have been too difficult for the gang to deposit the remains in the places they were found quite far and up river from Palo Alto with no apparent trail in between. It would have been relatively easy to do so from a property on the guide F's finca, which is near where the remains and backpack were found. So my conclusion is that they were abducted near the mirador, taken to F's farm area in the red truck , raped and murdered there, dismembered and their remains placed by the river later. Domingo, F's brother, also knows what happened. And F has been busy all along covering up for his step-son. Obviously Henry, his step-father guide F and Domingo all need to be detained and interrogated to take this further. But as you say, it's unlikely.

[@ajoris5416]

Dear Scarlett, I'd like to thank you so much for your Amazing work and effort to release the truth❤. As a women who used to travel alone, by the past, I never ever believed the storytelling " lost in the jungle cauz we are young & stupid gringas". Since the very begining, I noticed so much détails which sound like foul play! 😢 But there are again some stupid and selfish people to trust the confortable version of the lost way. We have to change our view about all the victims. Too much of them (or their family), have to fight for their rights and dignity. In 21th century! But people begin talking now, because it s too heavy. This is what is happening right now in this case. If we keep making some noise around kriss and lisianne sad story, it could make all the difference. There will be no place where the bad guys could hide themself. And It could release all the people who are terrorised by them, as Margharita and Irma, por ejemplo. 🙏🙏🙏

[@AndreCOLLECTS]

WoW, you really did your research on this case! Amazing job you have done. I can't stop thinking about this...i hate that this happened to them and anyone else.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Fascinating Scarlet, particular the reveal of another, 'secret', trail there. The foul play scenario just keeps on coming. I don't have any doubts about it. Im 100% convinced. I just wonder how high up the determination to close the case as an accident goes. I don't think it ends with just Pitti.

[@scarletr.7753]

I thought so too! That Pata de Macho trail discovery was a jaw dropping moment in the podcast for me. For years we theorized there could be another way off the Mirador, where nobody would see them go down and without cell reception, crucially. And now we have the evidence. I hope that trail will be further documented in the future by people good and brave enough to go there. This podcast has been devastating in the way it lays out a foul play scenario I think. All the witnesses involved, the high detailed version that is corroborated by multiple people. Even a cop chiming in. And it further reveals what a horrid public prosecutor was on that case, deciding what would come in her case file (accident indications) and what would not (foul play indications). Phew... Yeh Pitti must have gotten some orders herself, logically speaking.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Scarlet, Ive listened to the first two podcast episodes so far. Excellent stuff. I was planning on a nice bicycle ride today but when I saw your new uploads this morning then gone to the podcasts straight, well half the day is gone😂. I can't recal exactly where on the trail F said to forget about this 'secret' trail so I'll have to try and look again. Its in the Answers For Kris documentary? Im sure it would be easy to block it but placing bushes/branches at the entrance. If it's 'secret' then the entrance will be small, probably half overgrown anyway. Yes that's very true. We thought if Kris and Lisanne DID come back this side then their phones would have gained reception again and that was always an issue, so in light of this new trail then it's very possible they could have been taken away from the Pianista area to another location without their phones being reconnected. The (possible) description of what happened at the house was pretty hard to listen to. I was supposed to be enjoying today!! 😕 Can't leave this case alone. Plaudits to you for keeping at it. One of these years you should try and get out there to Boquete.

[@scarletr.7753]

@@lyndoncmp5751 Oh take your time with them Lyndon🙃By all means enjoy a nice cycling ride today. These videos will be up (hopefully) for a long time to come. I will say that the 2nd video I uploaded with the podcast episodes 5-7 is the most gobsmacking of them all. Guide F. denied in the Answers for Kris video that there was a side trail, when Roelie pointed to it on the Mirador. He also failed to inform her about any other side trails. In one of the last podcast episodes, locals confirm that guide F. in fact ordered the Pata de Macho trail to be closed after the disappearance of Kris and Lisanne. Bizarre info, if true. He made a massive effort in the months after the disappearance to wriggle himself in the case and coverage of the case. Mostly to try to steer everyone to the monkey bridges. That behaviour alone would have normally, over here, made him a person of interest who at the very least would have had background checks and checks of his phone activity. By the way: I have no idea yet where that Pata de macho trail lies and how it runs exactly. That was only vaguely hinted at in the podcast. Really hope we will some day soon get videos or images of this actual trail. And learn how exactly it connects to the Pianista trail zone.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Hah, no the bike ride has been cancelled today 😂. You're right, I just replayed Answers for Kris and I see it's at the Mirador where F says that little side trail doesn't go anywhere. If I have my orientation correct it looks like it goes towards the north or northwest (or at least comes off the 'left' side of the Pianista trail) so I don't think it goes in the direction of the house. That probably really is just a nothing trail. I would have expected more would be known about it if it really went anywhere, as obviously the Mirador is where lots of people have now been, looking for answers. Nobody has mentioned another trail of any note, although I do vaguely remember hearing 'something' about a side trail there. Might have been Imperfect Plan. Yes it really would be great if this Pata de Macho trail could be located, especially if it starts closer to the stream in picture 508. I think we both agree that whatever happened, or what first occurred, happened not long in time and distance after 508. I'll keep wading through the podcasts. I have a lot before I get to the end one. I've fully watched both of your videos. I watched them first, then headed to the podcasts. F seems to be quite the local 'enforcer'*. More and more is coming out. Of course its just hearsay, but why would people make up lies about him, especially when they have to live in the area. The lady who saw Kris and Lisanne on the trail before the Mirador seems worried about him. I hope she's still ok. I'd expect word of her participation in the podcast will get back to F, if it hasn't already. 😕 *I say it as "allegedly".😎

[@scarletr.7753]

@@lyndoncmp5751 I advise you to watch the tennis final then instead (ATP Rotterdam) of Sinner against Medvedev.😎 Good match. Guide F. may have been right about that specific side trail which Roelie points at. But they hired his services in order to scour that Pianista trail and the ongoing trail beyond the Mirador for possible exits. That was their goal. See if Kris and Lisanne could have exited or fell down at any place. SO knowing this was their purpose and knowing why they were there, hiring his expertise, I find it very odd that he is caught on camera telling others in Spanish not to talk or tell the parents about .... (muffled). AND that he never informed them about this Pata de Macho trail. A trail he clearly was aware of. Doesn't look good. Power Pixie and Dave M. and I have looked into the possible location of the Pata de Macho trail for a good week, online. We suspect that the known Pata de Macho line is not the same. That is a more defined path. There must be a hidden, overgrown old trail that connects Palo Alto and the Tree Trek park to the Pianista and Mirador region. One only used by guides and hunters at times, but not well kept and not well known. And the fact that they speak with multiple locals about this trail, and have their own guide explore it... I have to believe therefore that Kryt is telling the truth here. It may partly follow that known trail which I marked in yellow in my video. But it has to deviate at some point. I think it is a different trail from the known one that leads to Cerro La Pata del Macho: www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/boquete-tree-trek-to-cerro-la-pata-del-macho-35008135 Other photo: blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUjcbHefZb3BmKpjJr1lvnXw6URdgArPPmp77XMQx6Eksm1OdlOnU7N8iAtFTwcH1DRxjyllzap6PO1gvR8yNLUzzE4EX76OFH8vmP_Js4hVmjksX59OJJOY9yZ65HbQDM4YRH5EyLXtTkw58jhPMWkVgbHBBaVeQENVX0dYhf0PVnl7-ELj00uE3K/w640-h428/Pata%20de%20macho3.png Also interesting is that certain writers have whitewashed guide F's involvement completely, and even went as far as to obscure the name of his brother, who collected the backpack and called the police, on behalf of the Alto Romero couple. Who would have guess that "José D.G." (Pitti's defenders) actually stands for José Domingo Gonzalez. Brother of guide F. That kind of makes it a more interesting story. I can see why they tried to hide that connection by abbreviating that name.

Re, the swimming photos, Scarlet, that is a wonderful piece of detective work you have done regarding the shape of the faces of the girls.

[@Snikkelbek]

The murder / rape scenario by the gang members sound very, very plausible. Especially because of the details mentioned, like the kerosine being used. Also, no reason to make these things up, risking your own life.

[@AdvieAtkins]

i can't get over the fact that Kris and Lisanne had never mentioned anything about (club or home) partying in their diaries

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Yes that is a telling point. Diaries are for their own benefit, not for other people to read, so you'd think they'd write it down.

[@scarletr.7753]

That certainly is a weak point to the discotheque/drugs scenario. On the other hand: they more than once caught up with events a day or more afterwards in their diary writings. Maybe they just hadn't gotten round to it. And they did not detail too much in their diaries about the dancing and parties in Bocas either. Just a bit. While we know they went out there. I am not so sure about the discotheque sighting. That may be unfounded gossip. But if they did buy some weed (also a bit of a shock to hear as I don't associate them with that sort of thing at all), then it is not that surprising that they wouldn't write about it in their diaries. And neither that they would buy and smoke it outside of Miriam's house, since it was illegal in Panama.

[@AdvieAtkins]

@@scarletr.7753 being caught up in the events of a holiday is something very natural, I agree, that can cause anyone to leave out essential details, mayhap to insert later on in one's diary

@@AdvieAtkins As someone else mentioned in these comments: Kris had a boyfriend at home (Stephan) but does not mention him in her diary either. Maybe they did not write down everything they did or of interest? We don't have that many details either about their evenings out in Bocas for instance. So just because something wasn't described in those diaries, does not automatically mean it did not happen.

[@alexwallace6120]

If the scenario of the girls being taken to the shack/house with the "gang" guys and beaten to death, raped and dismember, is awful. Perhaps not premeditated, yet so sick and depraved. Sending Prayers to their families. May they one day receive the justice they deserve.

[@lescommessedelgiorno1524]

(Agreed. F. was so on the forefront and taking so much attention in this case from the start, that it also seemed more logical to me that he is not directly involved. But sideways, misdirecting attention away from someone else.) I too had the doubt that F was covering for someone (and we know who) but then the times don't add up, let me explain F went to miriam's house already the next morning so if he was covering for someone (it means that they were already dead) already he knew of the disappearance of the two girls, while if the two girls were still alive he himself is an accomplice and will have to clarify his role!!! Ps The fingerprints found on the cell phones I don't think belonged to the killers I don't think they are stupid enough to find the backpack with their fingerprints (they would have deleted them) so there were two options to delete and then put the cell phones back in kris and lisanne's hands or delete and this would have been proof that they had been kidnapped unfortunately since the backpack was found too many hands have passed over it

[@scarletr.7753]

Good points. DNA and fingerprints of at least 3 different people other than Kris and Lisanne were found on the personal belongings. The prosecutor failed to ever link them to any particular person... So it could have been traces from locals of Alto Romero who handled the belongings before police received them. Or who knows... And for guide F to have been so brazen as to both be the perpetrator and also plant himself so fair and square in the investigations and in front of the cameras of the press... I think he would have been an Oscar worthy actor then, not to flinch or show clear nerves. Agreed, it seems more likely that he knew a bit more perhaps than he let on. And that he was busy intimidating people in the background, as we have heard from various witnesses and locals by now. Telling them to back off and keep their noses out of the case.

[@lescommessedelgiorno1524]

​@@scarletr.7753 Penso che gli autori del reato siano più persone, mi spiego meglio (il traduttore molte volte trascrive in maniera leggermente diversa da quello che scrivo in italiano). F è stato li la mattina del 2 aprile ,supponiamo che sapesse già della sorte delle due ragazze , e voleva coprire uno degli autori del reato. 1) se le due ragazze erano state uccise già il primo aprile e F è li solo per depistare, oppure come hai detto tu distogliere l'attenzione da qualcun' altro è un conto. 2) ma se le due ragazze erano ancora in vita lui comunque diventa complice ( perchè non ha fatto nulla per impedire il delitto) anche se non le ha ammazzate lui materialmente. Ps lo lascio anche in Italiano. I think the perpetrators of the crime are several people, let me explain better (the translator often transcribes in a slightly different way from what I write in Italian). F was there on the morning of April 2, suppose he already knew about the fate of the two girls, and wanted to cover up for one of the perpetrators. 1) if the two girls had already been killed on April 1st and F is only there to mislead, or as you said, diverting attention away from someone else is one thing. 2) but if the two girls were still alive he still becomes an accomplice (because she did nothing to prevent the crime) even if she didn't actually kill them. Ps I also leave it in Italian.

[@lescommessedelgiorno1524]

And that he was busy intimidating people in the background, as we have heard from various witnesses and locals by now. Telling them to back off and keep their noses out of the case. Come mai ha questo comportamento davanti le telecamere tiene una linea e senza dice agli altri di non parlare, qui in Italia diciamo che tiene la coda di paglia e se tiene la coda di paglia in che modo è coinvolto!!! How come he has this behavior in front of the cameras he keeps a line and without telling the others not to talk, here in Italy we say he keeps a straw and if he keeps a straw in what way is he involved!!!

[@scarletr.7753]

@@lescommessedelgiorno1524 I agree, I also think that F. knew more and was diverting attention. I discuss this case often with two people who are really knowledgeable about this disappearance case and all its details (Power Pixie and Dave M) and they always highlight to me how it was guide F. who actively steered the entire investigation towards those monkey bridges. I have a video up on my channel with all the witness statements and he is covered too frequently. Showing how he swayed over time, pushed the searches in all sorts of directions. We already knew he spent some significant amount of time in their bedroom, without the host mother present. We now know that he indeed kept a straw and showed himself in a controlling and intimidating, threatening way to some locals. This is no normal Good Samaritan behaviour. Either he may have known that these girls were killed by this local gang including his stepson (as claimed in the podcast), or he knew they were kept hostage. I think he spent that much time in their bedroom, with Eileen, because he wanted to get some cables to be able to access their phones or camera, and because she understands Dutch and could go through their diaries, checking if Henry or Edwin or even Osman was mentioned in their diaries. Damage control in full swing.

I appreciate very much your amazing work and the time you have spent in this case. Thank you for this crucial information.

[@notifysend1015]

Either they felt safe enough to shut down their phones the first day between 5-6pm shortly after the first two 112 attempts or they did not.. The official lost story cannot have it both ways and argue they were "lost and frantic and panicked" then show phone logs that show a very casual limited methodical phone usage from the get go. Nowhere do the phone logs reflect panic not even in the first two 112 calls 12 minutes apart. It's like someone casually calling the fire department to help their cat out of a tree then forget about it and try again the next day half a day later. The night photos don't even reflect panic and seem very deliberately shot to alter the timeline and tell you absolutely nothing. The shot of the back of Kremers head and of Froons jawline that intentionally shows nothing about their true condition is convenient to paint a picture and give the impression they were lost, and muddy up the timelines even further putting any supporting characters on the 1st in the clear. Also if you manually want to overwrite deleted pictures without using a computer then you would make a whole bunch of nonsense pictures to overwrite prior deleted pictures..

[@petrikupiainen]

I have watched everything that I have found about this case in youtube. Feels bad for the girls and their families. Lost in Panama podcast gave quite a lot new interesting details. This podcast is high-quality publication and team have been brave. Thanks a lot Scarlet for you and for the team in Panama. I have been pondering about Kris's head photo (night time). Down at right seems to be whirl in her hair. Could there be something dark inside the whirl? Like bar? Why won't Holland give so much pressure to Panama that the case will be reopened? Maybe they bought the official truth. I hope they will watch this great podcast and change their opinion. In Holland cannabis is legal. Where it is unlegal always stay away, because those who sell are criminals and so there is danger present (I have never done any kind of drugs and never will).

[@scarletr.7753]

H, I just replied this to someone else, but it chimes in with your message, so will paste it here also: The Dutch prosecution, I think some people (mostly '1st world' ppl) give them way too much credit here. Some seem to believe that the Dutch prosecutors actually came to Boquete to do any forensic research (they did not), or had any influence on the course of the investigation, like the FBI would have. Not at all. They were leaning back, realizing that the jurisdiction was with Panama, since the disappearance happened on their soil. They waited patiently for opportunities to help, being delegated some minor jobs by Betzaida Pitti (and being given tampered with evidence, like the meddled with SD card). The Dutch were tied and also are a small and not very corrupt country, who are very aware of their global trade position. There is just no way they would cause a diplomatic riot by barging in and taking over the investigation. We had Dutch ambassador Wiebe de Boer, who seemed more preoccupied with wining and dining in Boquete, keeping the local authorities content. Rather pathetic if you ask me. It's like with the massive MH17 air crash tragedy later in 2014, where a plane with some 200 Dutch people on board and nearly 100 international passengers, was shot from the sky above Ukraine. The Dutch could not make a fist and still hold symbolic trials without getting anything done for real on the world stage. I mean, Panama is a relatively small country, but it is still twice as big in size as the Netherlands, which is just very small. It may be an affluent country, but it has little power on the world stage. Juan contacted the Dutch prosecution about this case more recently and managed to have them set up a cold case team that looked at the case again... only to conclude that there is no reason to reopen the case. And they were sent all the new info, including leaked material. It is bloody hopeless. They say that only Panama can reopen the case, if they want to. Yes, many people see curled darker hair in the bottom right corner of the night photo with Kris' hair pictured. Perhaps it is Lisanne's hair? It is still unknown what we exactly see there..

[@TheCocteaus]

Great detail as always Scarlet. However there is a big flaw with this whole account of gang involvement and that's the mobile activity. Yes you can make emergency calls without having the mobile pin, but the other activity (pins entered correctly until near the end)? The gang would have had to have had the mobile pin of both phones and the SIM pin of one of them (Kris Kremers) in order to fake this activity. Are we expected to believe that they remembered to ask for the pin numbers whilst murdering the women in a drunk/drug fuelled rage and that they were given them? Doesn't add up.

[@scarletr.7753]

Hi, yeh there were pins entered correctly initially, but not until the end. Only for the first five days. On day five Kris' iPhone4 was powered on and off at 10:50 AM. This was the last time the SIM pin was entered correctly. From then onward, the wrong pin code or no pin code was entered. Until then the phone had successfully received both a SIM pin (0556) and a login pin to unlock the screen. Technically we don't know who entered the right or the wrong pin. Different strange DNA and fingerprints were found on their belongings including the camera and phones. Anyone with some smarts and planning wits could have staged all of those emergency number attempts. Or Kris and Lisanne may have had their own phones in their possession for five initial days and then someone else got them in their possession. If they were kidnapped or held against their will, then it is possible that perpetrators demanded to be given the PIN codes of the iPhone. It depends on the theory I suppose. Margarita and Murgas mentioned a 1st night altercation and instant murders. In that case, I agree that the login pattern looks very odd. How did they then find out about Kris' pin codes? The other theory that is mentioned in the podcast, coming from a local from Alto Romero, states that Kris and Lisanne were taken to that hamlet and kept there alive for several days. In that case they may have been ordered to give Kris' pin codes. But I suspect myself that Kris and Lisanne made the initial two 112 calls themselves on day 1. And that perpetrators picked up on that pattern and continued with it. Either they started doing that on day 5 (and lacked the pin codes) or they did so earlier already after demanding the pin codes. In that case they would have had to be completely shrewd to plan this complex pattern of correct logins for 5 days, then incomplete logins for 6 more days. But yeh, there are a couple of finer points that don't add up completely with this crime theory

[@TheCocteaus]

​@@scarletr.7753 Having listened to the podcast they are definitely going for the sensationalist murder on the first day. As discussed already this is not realistic with the phone data. You can fit a kidnapping narrative around this, but the phone data fits equally into a tragic accident scenario. And no it is not simply that they got lost, one or both of them were most likely injured and unable to walk and crucially they had not really told anyone where they were going making the search that much harder. I have no doubt numerous people handled that backpack (including it's items) when it was found and I'm pretty convinced that the women met somebody on the trail during their walk as it well used. The trouble is the huge publicity and fear of being implicated meant that nobody was going to admit to either.

[@scarletr.7753]

​@@TheCocteaus I understood it differently. The podcast makers allowed Margarita to talk quite extensively, but they also looked for corroborating evidence and also allowed Martin Ferrara O'Donnell to give his theory (which differs from Margarita's in quite a few ways) and then also came out at the Alto Romero local, who had yet another sub-theory. Mariana was eager about this crime narrative but Jeremy Kryt played the tempered, balanced, skeptical part. I make an objection btw to the term 'sensationalist murder'. That word sounds like a value judgement. While it may in fact be the simple truth that is shared with us. Murders happen all the time and sharing evidence that points to a murder is not 'sensationalist'. Unless you are on Reddit of course 🙂There are quite a few little details that don't add up with a Day 1 murder. The phone data can fit in with a lot of mental gymnastics, but how about the night photo of Kris' head on day 8? It does not seem to show her dead and battered up. But the phone data also makes no sense when trying to match it with a lost/accident narrative. There is too much written about that already but those phone logs and that camera use do not look even remotely like the sort of work from 2 young women who are out there in the wild alone, trying to find help. They are absurd

[@powerpixie2965]

Hi Scarlet! Thanks for doing the video review of the book. I love the B-Roll footage from the classic movies especially the King Kong and that Red Truck footage. 😄 Nice touch! RKO and the Big Five, especially would have been proud of your efforts. It must take you so much time to put all of this together. I wish I was half as good at making videos like you do. Registering to the review I can’t help but think that the SLIP authors had a great chance to finally uncover a lot of the missing information we’ve all been wondering about. Instead, similar to the donuts who wrote the LITJ book, they decided to take on becoming an authority, while balancing the huge burden for guide F that he started - not unlike the LITJ authors did with Pitti. Both Pitti and the guide IMO have not been truthful since their involvement in 2014, once you focus the magnifying glass on their statements and events that they are linked with. And so I think it tends to backfire spectacularly, similar to the previous book, because it further exposes much of the deficiencies and problems seen with the case details, and the way it was handled. The SLIP book also in a way has helped strengthen Jeremy Kryt’s work on this case especially by dodging the guide’s statements to the police, just like Pitti dodged the missing photo throughout 2014, until the NFI revealed in December that there was a photo missing. The guide remains the central figure in this case, and his stepson remains the albatross round his neck. Kris and Lisanne were given pedestrian token treatment in this book as with the previous one. For me they are the two individuals who told the truth via their diaries and drove a firm wedge to prevent Pitti and the guide from closing the door on them forever with their fairytale about them falling off the bridge and dying. Anyways I’m jumping straight into Part 2 now as I absolutely adore your accent and look forward to what you have to say in the second installment of the review. Keep up the great work Scarlet. You remain the beacon for Kris and Lisanne.🕵🏽‍♂

Have you heard of a similar case here in the US where 2 young girls went missing hiking and were found murdered but had supposedly took a pic of the suspect who was fallowing them on their hike? Which totally reminds me of this case.

[@scarletr.7753]

Oh yes, the Delphi murders right? I think of that case now and then. Indeed, one of the two teenagers managed to take a photo I think it was of the attacker and also snippets of audio. A suspect is finally caught now. But for two teenagers to have the presence of mind to document this creepy guy walking behind them on the train tracks, wow. When thinking of missing photo or video number 509 in this case, I often wonder if it could have been a Delphi type of photo perhaps.

[@CJK-bt4ll]

I saw this comment from someone last year and I'm rewriting here, because I thought it was very pertinent regarding the idea that the girls made it back to the trailhead (restaurant/store): "The cell phone would have recorded more bars as they reentered Boquete tower coverage, probably on the way down to the restaurant. The phone was not in airplane mode, as it recorded a signal on the way up to the mirador." I may need to look at the phone data again, but I think he has a point, assuming the system logs are reliable.

[@scarletr.7753]

That is indeed a well known bottleneck in this case. It is very often mentioned because IF those phone logs are correct (and complete...) then it kind of excludes the possibility of Kris and Lisanne and their phones having returned to the trailhead. In the podcast it is claimed that they were taken down another trail, not the Piansta trail but a more secluded and desolate one called Pata de Macho. Without cell reception. But as I also write on my blog; the phone logs seem sparse and incomplete, as far as I've been told, and we know for a fact that Betzaida Pitti from the Panamanian prosecution meddled with the photo originals, editing the night photos, on the original SD card. Highly unethical. So that theoretically also opens the possibility of those phone logs not being 100% what they originally were.

[@carlosbrizuela6521]

Hello! Scarlet. I invite you to take a look at an amazing survival story, 4 children were found alive on june 9 of this year after being missing in the Amazon jungle of Guaviare (Colombia) for 40 days, after suffering a plane crash. It is a survival against the odds for several aspects, including the type of jungle.

[@scarletr.7753]

Amazing story indeed! Although some weird details came out as well. For instance that these kids were approached by army and native groups looking for them multiple times apparently already, before being found. But the kids were hiding from them successfully initially. Something about them believing they would get toys if they hid successfully. Not sure how much truth is to those media claims. But yes, these 4 young ones survived 40+days in the ACTUAL jungle (not like the agricultural, inhabited terrain above Boquete). They were taught which fruits to eat in the jungle and how to make shelter, but managed to survive on rain water, cassava and fruits. I can't help think of Kris and Lisanne and why they would not have been able to stay alive on the fruits, cassava and water in the Boquete area? Because they were kidnapped.

[@stephemmick1496]

Thank you Scarlett. I remember reading--maybe on your blog--that the backpack was placed so that Kris parents would leave. Didnt her mother state that she wouldnt leave Boquette until she found her daughter?

[@scarletr.7753]

Hi, yeh, that is a suspicion at this point. The parents of Lisanne said in the press beforehand that they wouldn't leave until they found out what happened. Peter Froon said literally: "Dear Lisanne and Kris. Please know that we will stay here in Panama until you have been found. We will wait as long as it takes, until you are found. And we will not give up! Really, we won't. Have faith in us, we will keep looking for you, for as long as it takes, we will stay here." And Kris' mother has repeatedly said to the press: "My daughter was kidnapped! I don't know by who, but I'm sure she was kidnapped." It is not unreasonable I think to consider the possibility that these ongoing searches which the parents paid for and called for, combined with them just not going away, may have made it necessary for the perpetrators (I believe) to plant that bag 10 weeks after the disappearance. Notice that it were two workers of Feliciano who by complete "chance" found that bag, supposedly in a spot they NEVER before had been washing their clothes. Right... And then they gave the bag to Feliciano's brother of all people, who kept it for a day or two and then handed it to the police. All suspicious as can be, but the Panamanian prosecutor saw no reason to start a criminal case or do any forensic testing or look for any persons of interest...

Why warn a witness beforehand that you are going to kill him? Wouldn't you just kill the witness? That is a bit strange. But it has always been clear to me that this was murder, prompted by a sexual motive. (Each girl would have been striking in appearance to locals: one blonde, one very tall.)

[@scarletr.7753]

Witnesses can be threatened beforehand, it has happened before. And if emotions were running high, I can see young (macho) people shouting warnings and intimidations beforehand. In Osman's case they may have tried to shut him up. As for Murgas, I am not so sure how a scared for his life witness would then go out to a cantina on his birthday, accusing the very people he is afraid of in public there. That sounds very illogical, but who knows.

[@notifysend1015]

No proof of life after the 1st. The two discreet 112 calls are the biggest red flag where to start. Froon checked maps/gps before the last photo 508. It shows you right off the bat they were severely restrained/restricted in utilizing their phones. Had they truly simply been just lost you would expect them to use their phones map/gps and compass functions and call emergency services much more often in closer succession and keeping their phones on the first day to try and track back to cell coverage area behind them where they came from on their one way path. Disabling/restricting phones(communication devices) from the get go is criminal Modus Operandi not lost hiker behavior. That the person(s) in charge of the phones had no desire to utilize the phones map/gps and compass functions even once and only check the weather forecasts days in is your big clue. These girls weren't complete dummies. You can safely assume the person(s) in charge of those phones didn't need the phones area maps/gps or compass to navigate there. (;

Although too many details in this case indicate foul play, one must be open to all theories, study their feasibility and not become closed off and become dogmatic, believing that science works thar way. I take advantage of this space. The theory of finding the hidden waterfall may seem logical and attractive in the scenario of just getting lost or having and accident; KK and LF decided to walk through the stream of photo 508 and at some point were injured and unable to return to the main trail. Here's some basic reasoning: were the girls willing to get their shoes wet? We have no information that they had a change of clothes and/ or towels to dry in their backpack, which does not look bulky in the photos, and it is hard to believe that they wanted to take a dip and come back wet? Something else: when looking for a waterfall, the logical thing is to go upstream to see the waterfall from the front and another detail, the route through this stream is very uncomfortable with stones everywhere, slippery, tree branches around. It's not a fun thing. How far can you get off the main road? Apparently creek 3 is more passable, the theme here is obvious, there are no photos of this place being more attractive; even Hans Kremers wondered why. Specifically in the place there are not high altitude waterfalls. Notice how in photos 507 and 508 Kris, the most intrepid, crosses the stream to continue along the path, this gives indications that the initial intention is to follow the path, not walk along the stream; We don't know if they changed their minds later, the truth is that after photo 508 we don't have any more photos, not even showing the interior of the water corrent. The 509 file is gone! It is totally impossible for the backpack to circulate through this rocky and irregular course of water without soon being trapped, blocked and/or badly damaged, just by itself. So at the point where it was found, it was brought here by the girls or by a third party, from photo 508 to the place on the Culebra river where it was found there is a considerable distance. Being objective, the most bening scenario is that this backpack was found much earlier than reported and of course raise the questions: didn't they see the bodies? Did they not smell the smell of descomposition? Therefore this backpack was not in such bad shape. But answering the others details is more complicated without involving the element of foul play.

Hannah Arendt coined the term 'the banality of evil' at the Eichmann trial in 1962. This case reminds me of that. Henry is a hyper-macho psychopath who cannot bear being slighted or rejected by a woman, especially a gringo woman. I think it is very possible that that is exactly what happened in the pharmacy between him and Kris. She enraged him. This was reported by a witness. Sadly, the CCTV footage was wiped, probably because it was highly incriminating apropos Henry's behaviour. My guess is that he immediately planned revenge and organised the abduction of the two girls to rape them, but it escalated into murder. I think Kris was his target and according to Osman it was Kris he molested first. No witchcraft, no sorcery, no organ trafficking, no sex trafficking, nothing sinister......simply hurt macho ego and rage. I may be wrong here but it seems to me to be the clearest motive.

Correct.multiple Witnesses have now corroborated the murder theory and Felicianos son Henry is the killer but he was assisted by his gang friends. So many people around this were killed and also so much of the evidence points towards murder like the bleached bones and Kris clean hair in the night photos and the clean and neat rucksack which was too neat and clean. One controversial view is that the girls to some extent contributed to their own murder because they socialised and partied with the boys prior to their dissapearance and that was naive. More mature women would not have got involved socially with these young men especially as they should not have bought cannabis from these dangerous young men.Bigger Life experience would have allowed them to avoid people like Henry and in general you avoid all young men anywhere in Latin America.

Nobody has come forward. Juan in particular has created a large database with pictures and also identified some lookalikes who were roughly in the region, but none were in Boquete at that same time. He contacted the Dutch Prosecution and they told him they had a cold case team re-evaluate the case. Concluding that they saw no reason to reopen the case. They had the swimming photo in their possession they wrote to Juan and they confirmed that it is not a photoshop but a real photo. But that it are not Kris and Lisanne depicted. But some other women. They failed to identify them or give any details about their nationality or whatever. We both do not believe that they actually, in fact, identified these supposed two lookalike women. But that they use this argument in order to not have to reopen the case, which they also said was up to Panama's prosecution anyway... This case has a worldwide reach but nobody has ever come forward to claim it is her in that swimming photo.

Everyone in trouble would have left some kind of a message, and these girls were already used to journaling.

An incredible story, perfect for the plot of an adventure film, especially since it has a happy ending. The story takes us to Colombia, where four children of different ages, from the youngest of just 11 months to the oldest of 13, managed to survive in the jungle for two weeks, completely alone, after a plane crash. The four children, 11 months, 4 years, 9 and 13, were on board a small aircraft that crashed while flying over the Amazon. It's easy to imagine that no one has survived other than a plane crash, in a dangerous and inhospitable place like the Amazon jungle. Little Enea has found a family: he was abandoned at Easter. "Now he has a new name and date of birth" Hero children Yet it didn't happen that way. The group of children were traveling with their mother, and two other adults on board, presumably a pilot and another passenger, when the aircraft crashed. After two weeks of searching, rescuers found all the adults dead and the little heroes alive .A joy for the country» the words of the Colombian president Gustavo Petro, who announced to the nation the discovery of the children, who had been wanted for days by over one hundred soldiers aided by sniffer dogs who had set out on the trail in the jungle.Sniffed by dogs The rescue teams had discovered an improvised shelter made of sticks and branches, which had fueled the hope of being able to find some people alive. For two weeks the children would have wandered in the virgin forest before being found.

Osman's death was initially ruled an accident by authorities, but during the autopsy the head wound was discovered and the coroner and the parents wanted police to reevaluate the case, believing he was killed. And police reopened that case and ended up ruling the case an official homicide. So in Osman's case, he is officially murdered. Murgas on the other hand... I guess some murders will always be hard to prove when there is no CCTV footage for instance. Think of the slew of recent 'fell from balcony' deaths. Or 'fell out of 15 store high windows'. Most people think that those people, within a certain context, were pushed. But it is very hard to prove. I think with Murgas having been mowed down in the street, you need an open minded and curious, sincere police force first of all. And that's where it already lacks here. The podcast mentions the testimonies of multiple witnesses living nearby the scene of the incident, and they heard voices indicating it was a hit and run.

No one packs two frilly party bras (and neither of which belonged to the bigger busted of the two - I'm a 36 D and those bras were very petite) and kid's sunglasses for a hike. The backpack was obviously planted or it would have been found 10 weeks prior - that trail is used daily by many, many people.. And it should have contained actual things belonging to the girls that would make sense to bring on a hike The night pictures were taken a full week after the girls went missing - not one has an image of either girl's face. The random photo of freshly shampooed and dried hair doesn't convince me of anything. We call it proof of life, and the night pics offer none. Since we already know that the camera had been tampered with, pics out of order, pics missing, a week between shots, it's not a far stretch to imagine that someone beside the girls took the night pics. As a red herring, it performed beautifully. Your getting warm with the swimming hole. I don't think that's the girls, but let me know when you get to the pic of the two passed out girls being identically posed by dude, who is standing over them with a club.

[@scarletr.7753]

Well there you go. Like so many total inconsistencies in this case, that is a big one. People who want to believe it was all an accident hold onto this strange belief (supported by a blundering pathologist from the Netherlands) that Kris and Lisanne very early on fell down a ravine. Then were stuck. Of course, no such ravine was ever actually identified as having trails or any evidence whatsoever of a fall of two adult women. Their bags and belongings did not show signs of such a steep fall or sliding down either. Their sunglasses were found without even a scratch on them. The bones were NOT found at the bottom of such a ravine and neither was Kris' jeans shorts. It is a rather insane theory to still believe in in my opinion, but ok. All their belongings were found in a relatively small area, which was searched by large groups of professionals for MONTHS. To no avail. The few belongings and remains were found close to very frequently used trails, or even near habitation. And yet for ten weeks nobody supposedly found anything, despite hundreds if not thousands of people searching this small area. The bag HAD to be planted, since the parents had been screaming in the media until then that Kris and Lisanne had been kidnapped. And that they would not rest and would not let that jungle alone until they found them. u\Until the discovery of their belongings/bag/camera/phones in June 2014, the searches and media pressure was only intensifying. That seems a pretty good motive to me to decide that the world finding out about these night photos and the emergency call attempts (faked or not) was the most straightforward way to make everyone believe it was all an accident, and stop all the international hassle of the people in the area. The night photos are just as bizarre as their use of their phones. Totally bizarre and unnatural behaviour. The night photos could have been taken by anyone as the photographer is never pictured, not even a meg or a shoe. The backpack is never pictured. The only way we are supposedly having proof that she was Lisanne, is because of photo 580 showing Kris' red hair. That is the only personal photo in a bizarre series of a 100 photos. Totally staged, just like the phone calls after April 1st

If you see the movie remake And soon the darkness (2010) there are some paralelism with this case ( traffiking with woman here in south of Argentina , and the paralelism like corruption .with people very closed mind , people who keep secrets..you know....) ,i live here in Argentina but in Buenos Aires city wich is the opposite , more liberal.. From first day i discover this case i was wrong in other things but i said always F was not the killer and with strong evidence i demostrate it and the reasons... but yes..involved and protected his son.

Hi Certainly the revelation of a 'secret' trail from the Mirador area directly towards the Tree Trek area is a major plus in the theory it could have happened there. The time of the first emergency calls wouldn't be enough to get there though I don't think , unless they tried to escape while on that trail towards Tree Trek before being caught. But that goes against the claim that it all went wrong after they arrived at the destination. Its a head scratcher.

Hi, oh that is great. I was already worried a bit whether or not my thick accent English was comprehensive for others. In the part 1 video, youtube already automatically generated subtitles I just saw. Hopefully they will do the same for this part 2 video, and hopefully they will enable the automatic Spanish translation as well... The house of Cuervo in Palo Alto lies very very close to Boquete Tree Trek. Power Pixie and Dave M and I have been looking into his house, since Jeremy Kryt gave quite a few details and indications of the looks and location of that house (I cover them on my blog), and came close. It is literally round the corner from the Tree Trek. We also wondered if that rather large amount of cash money found in their backpack (80-something dollars) was intended for a Tree Trek cable ride perhaps. Agreed. F. was so on the forefront and taking so much attention in this case from the start, that it also seemed more logical to me that he is not directly involved. But sideways, misdirecting attention away from someone else. The Dutch prosecution, I think some people (mostly '1st world' ppl) give them way too much credit here. Some seem to believe that the Dutch prosecutors actually came to Boquete to do any forensic research (they did not), or had any influence on the course of the investigation, like the FBI would have. Not at all. They were leaning back, realizing that the jurisdiction was with Panama, since the disappearance happened on their soil. They waited patiently for opportunities to help, being delegated some minor jobs by Betzaida Pitti (and being given tampered with evidence, like the meddled with SD card). The Dutch were tied and also are a small and not very corrupt country, who are very aware of their global trade position. There is just no way they would cause a diplomatic riot by barging in and taking over the investigation. We had Dutch ambassador Wiebe de Boer, who seemed more preoccupied with wining and dining in Boquete, keeping the local authorities content. Rather pathetic if you ask me. It's like with the massive MH17 air crash tragedy later in 2014, where a plane with some 200 Dutch people on board and nearly 100 international passengers, was shot from the sky above Ukraine. The Dutch could not make a fist and still hold symbolic trials without getting anything done for real on the world stage. I mean, Panama is a relatively small country, but it is still twice as big in size as the Netherlands, which is just very small. It may be an affluent country, but it has little power on the world stage. Juan contacted the Dutch prosecution about this case more recently and managed to have them set up a cold case team that looked at the case again... only to conclude that there is no reason to reopen the case. And they were sent all the new info, including leaked material. It is bloody hopeless. They say that only Panama can reopen the case, if they want to.

Why do I have that feeling after nights and nights of thinking in this case that both ladies were tied up from there legs. could be one leg for each. and could be taken as a sex slaves somewhere in a cave. latter on after they died for some reasons, the criminals couldn't move their bodies because their foots were tied up by something harch, so they cut Lessane's foot to make her body free, and that gives the reson of why Lessane's foot was found in her shoes, clean cut and no blods. Another conclusion I found is that one of the criminals has some emotions for these two girsls, where he had some type of conflict with his criminal partner, so he was allowing the girls to use their backpack for some reasons, without the partner(s) notice that. so the girls were trying to call emergency for a specific time only during the days. Where the same guy toke their backpack and deleted photo(s), and for some reasons make the backpack to be found on the river. Another doubt that I have to the two pieces of red plastic bag tied up to the branch is that it was a full plastic bag that could be fielded up with water or something else, but still think it was water because the rock under it looks wet in the photo. and then Lissane couldn't use this bag out to drink after then water had been finished so she toke it out for some reasons. Whatever it is good answers or not, I believe that both two girls were kidnapped at the jungles. and the conflict between murders later on because of this case, laed to they killed each other. and of course, the driver who said he dropped off this girsl at 1:30, but they had actually arrived there around 11? that because the driver told the criminals that he toke the girls there. so the criminals asked him to pick them up to the same position. and he did around 1:30. and that why he got confused when ha answered the detectives about the time that he dropped off this girls. where he gave them the time when he dropped off the criminals.

Well, I was wondering if you can do an experiment with various cellphones the same as the one kris had, drop the battery to 50 and do more or less the same things that those who had cellphones in their hands did at that time to see if the battery goes below 20 x 100 if the battery considering that it is new compared to the one used by kris and therefore in theory it should discharge more slowly if it is completely discharged or below 20 x 100 it seems clear to me that that cell phone has been recharged therefore not being reloaded by Kris and Lisanne it is obvious that there is the hand of third parties and I think this should already be enough to reopen the case against unknown persons!!!

[@69429boss]

Here's what Occam's razor tells us folks. The girls got lost and they slipped and fell and suffered critical injuries. People wonder why they didn't try more emergency calls, it's because they were stuck in the same spot the entire time, broken backs or broken legs or broken hips, or all of these. They tried to conserve battery by switching their phones off. But they realised the emergency calls were futile given the lack of service in that one spot. The girls sheltered against the cliff and spread their rubbish to signal to anyone looking over the cliff or from the sky. One photo shows the white papers forming an SOS. The red plastic bags (proven to be from the village) was also a signal/marker while they sheltered closer to the cliff to stay out of the elements. They tried to take a photo of Kris head injury. Kris eventually dies. Lisanne either doesn't know or forgot Kris' pincode after her own phone battery died. The reason they went silent for a week is because they knew it was futile. They decided to conserve battery and wait for help. The night photos were taken because Lisanne could hear either helicopters that day/night or the audio signals the search and rescue were using. She was using the camera flash to try and signal them but slowly loses hope which is why the photos begin to slow down and get further apart. This may have also been Lisannes last efforts to signal for help before succumbing to her injuries/dehydration/starvation. If you want to find the site where they died it is somewhere upstream (obviously) from the evidence found, bones, backpack, shorts etc. The river Changuinolla starts not far from El Mirador. The location they died will be on the western side of the river on a steep section with a large rock and open canopy somewhere between the location of the shorts and El Mirador. If you can find this location there will be some remnants of the rubbish they left. It will also be where the animals pulled apart their bodies so perhaps there would even be some bones, hopefully for the families sakes, the skulls. The missing photo was either a glitch in the camera software or the Panamanian police deleted it, that is the ONLY conspiracy theory worth investigating. There was no foul play, no murder, no gangs, no cartel, no Photoshop (absolute nonsense). Just two girls that slipped and fell and suffered unimaginable pain and fear for a week in the Panamanian jungle. Someone please find this location so the girls May finally rest in peace.

Did she take them off voluntarily. - A glitch in the camera seems very unlikely according to the camera manufacturer. If police removed the foto, what did it show? What about the other deaths?

If that story is true then I agree with you. I can't help think about what they wrote in their diaries here. First the upbeat and confident entries about Bocas del Toro and about how much fun they had there with some Dutch guys and one from Australia I believe. People their own age but trustworthy.. They would go eat and dance together with them and they gained confidence from it, I believe. Then fast forward to Boquete and Lisanne wrote in her diary about how terrible she was feeling there. Anxious, panicked. She did not feel good, she did not speak the language and Boquete is not a holiday hot spot for westerners per se. But a town where people live full time. I would not be surprised if it ever turns out that in order to cheer themselves up 9also after the horrible way in which their volunteer work fell through), they reverted back to their Bocas habits. And were more open to swimming or hanging out with guys their own age. Only here.... they were not Dutch and Australian, but locals with very shady backgrounds. Indeed, they should have stayed well away from them. Especially considering how young and beautiful they looked, which has always a magnet effect on young guys, sometimes with the wrong ideas

Somehow they knew the two girls were headed for the Pianista, they knew WHEN they would be there, and they successfully intercepted them on that trail - there was no way they could escape.

I just replied on youtube to a video of an American presenter (I think she is famous in the US) where she is certain that the girls died by accident but what is most annoying are her answers in the comments as if she had the truth absolute and if anyone thinks that these girls have been killed they say that they are only conditioned by their fantasies and scammers on the internet but you can!!!

Thanks, yeh I saw her video and read some of her comments. Really annoying how she swipes many valid arguments in favour of a crime off the table with dumb generalizations like: people who believe that just like sensationalism. Best to quickly forget her one-sided hysterical video ..😉

​@@lescommessedelgiorno1524 I know what you mean. I understand that she is a criminal profiler, writer, TV presenter and now youtuber. In a live video about this case, some time ago someone told him that the indigenous woman who found the backpack pointed out that the last photo (508) was taken in a place long before Alto Romero, closer to the viewpoint (this is clear today). To which she replied that said woman is wrong. I thought WTF, how can it occur to you to contradict someone used to walking there, while you, surely, have never set foot there in your life. And several comments in the style that you point. It is logical that she has his position under his professional arguments. But that forceful way of discrediting any possibility of foul play is not correct. Too inflexible and with some ego problem. There are 3 basic questions you won't like: 1) whas she an active participant in the case? 2) Do you know the geographical area of the events? 3) Do I correlate the findings with geographic area itsef? And i look at the maps and documentation of the trail in different videos, to rule out inconsistencies in the official theories. The answer is probably NO. She based a lot of her arguments on the book "lost in the jungle". What must be made clear, the Dutch authors did not set foot in Boquete or the geographical area by themselves (the book was prepared during the pandemic) they accessed the police files of the case probably under an agreement with the former prosecutor of the case (B.P.), who is co-author of the book. And it should not be overlooked that they receive remuneration for the sale of the book and for selling copyright to make a movie and/or serie. I understand well that there are several crazy theories and it is the right thing to use science to find the truth. The problem here is that they want to find a simple answer to the case (Ockham's razor) but ignoring a lot of inconsistencies and coincidences. Before formulating any theory, you have to watch the different videos of the area and look at the distance ratios of the findings and the feasibility of the scenarios, with this you will realize the failures of the "official theories".

why didn't the girls call the hostel where they were staying. you need a time machine to sort this one out .i can understand they didn't want to worry their parents, the amount of information that's come forward in this video if it's true? if its true there was a lot of evidence, overlooked ,where shacks searched where the murder supposedly took place?

I have watched your video and read your 2019 blog (updated? It speaks of the Idaho murders). My thoughts : I consider the swimming photo authentic. Then it must have been taken either the day before the hike or after the hike. I would be surprised if it had been taken the day before: I have some difficulty to imagine that these guys, who have not much self control, would not have taken advantage of the situation immediately and would have simply postponed their projects to some other day. They don't look like guys dreaming of tomorrow. The picture, to me, gives the impression of insecure girls in presence of predators. This does not exclude the possibility that they had met them previously in a disco, and maybe at some other occasion. (But as for partying in Palo Alto, I am skeptical: they had just arrived in a new town, and would have gone partying at some remote place with strangers at night?... And the nice guys would have simply driven them back home in the middle of the night?.. ). I wonder whether the breakdown in the diary could have something to do with the new "friends" around them (new kind of friends). It seems to me difficult to explain it simply with the disappointment related to the school or with the incapacity to communicate with the family where they lived. It could be that L at least felt that it would not be so easy to deal with this new "company". So in spite of all that has been brought for the "kidnapping on the trail theory", I have doubts,

Hi, thanks for reading. My blog gets updated when possible, in part 4 (koudekaas.blogspot.com/2019/02/part-4-with-latest-updates-on.html) I post most updates, although there are various different pages, some for other cases, some specifically dedicated to other people's books or podcast on the case. Thanks for your thoughts on the swimming photo. And it is a very interesting suggestion that Lisanne's mental struggle, as depicted in her diary, may have linked to these new 'friends' they could have made in Boquete. In that case, Kris would have been the driving force behind this. With Lisanne tagging along, but worried. Indeed, it is such a turnaround from her high mood in Bocas, that it is hard to imagine it was just coming from the new scenery. But when she wrote that, they hadn't even been rejected by Aura yet, as this was on Monday the 31st of March, whereas Lisanne wrote how bad she was feeling on March 29th already. So on the day of arrival in Boquete. But she also caught up later with the previous three days, so she was a bit all over the place and wrote at a later time about things that happened way earlier, headlining with those earlier dates. So perhaps the March 29th bit was also actually written later on.

[@mikemoreno4469]

@@scarletr.7753 I agree 100% in that I think Kris was the driving force. In addition, it has been said that Lisanne wasn't feeling too well at the time.

Now we just need to see how to get the case reopened how about a fundraiser in Kris and Lisanne's name run by kris' family who never gave up they hire a couple of good American private detectives (so that if they make them outside the United States are directly involved hahahah ) Ps I threw it there as an idea but something must be invented so every idea is valid otherwise the case of Kris and lisannne will always remain an open case!!!

[@scarletr.7753]

Juan has been in contact with the Dutch prosecution, who have viewed the latest leaks and info, and their cold case team have concluded (and communicated this to Juan) that they see no reason to reopen the case. And they also added that the only party able to reopen the case is the Panamanian prosecution anyway. And they have zero interest in doing so of course. I think it is hopeless and change can only come from commercial initiatives like this podcast from Jeremy Kryt. Or the Travel Channel's show. Or any future investigators who go there. NOT the lame followers of Pitti's sh*tty investigation though, there will be some docu makers who will perpetuate her lies also. As for fundraisers, I think that should be communicated with the parents of Kris and Lisanne. As I understand it, they do not want to continue chasing ghosts in this case and want to be rest in peace. Fundraising as a non-relative seems unwise to me and will probably reek of the wrong people trying to monetize this tragedy?

[@lescommessedelgiorno1524]

@@scarletr.7753 Infatti ho scritto la raccolta fondi fatta dalla famiglia di Kris perchè da quanto ho capito la famiglia di Lisanne si è rassegnata e ha accettato anche a malincuore questa verità!!! Si ho letto che gli è stato detto a Juan che non c'è alcun motivo per riaprire il caso, e figuriamoci se i panamensi lo riaprono hanno fatto tanto per chiuderlo in fretta e furia che per loro riaprirlo non avrebbe senso , purtroppo bisognava battere quando il ferro era caldo da parte delle autorità Olandesi (magari anche con un blocco di turisti olandesi verso panama, e forse ci sarebbero state delle indagini più serie) più gli anni passano e più diventa difficile. Di Pitti non voglio parlare ma non ci vuole l'arte a scrivere (da italiano quindi neutrale) a capire che le indagini sono state svolte in modo tale da non trovare nessuna prova compromettente ma anche cosi senza cercare prove la tesi dell'incidente non quadra per nulla!!! Ps magari una raccolta di firme online (se si raggiungesse una certa quota) qualcuno a panama comincerà a capire che forse per loro e il loro turismo e meglio se si faccia chiarezza una buona volta su questo caso!!! In fact I wrote the fundraiser made by Kris's family because from what I understand Lisanne's family resigned and reluctantly accepted this truth!!! Yes, I read that Juan was told that there is no reason to reopen the case, and let alone if the Panamanians reopen it they did so much to close it in a hurry that reopening it would not make sense for them, unfortunately you had to hit when the iron was hot by the Dutch authorities (perhaps even with a blockade of Dutch tourists to panama, and perhaps there would have been more serious investigations) the more the years go by and the more difficult it becomes. I don't want to talk about Pitti but it doesn't take art to write (as an Italian therefore neutral) to understand that the investigations were carried out in such a way as not to find any compromising evidence but even so, without looking for evidence, the thesis of the accident does not add up in no way!!! Ps maybe a collection of online signatures (if a certain quota is reached) someone in Panama will begin to understand that perhaps for them and their tourism it is better if this case is clarified once and for all!!! In feite heb ik de inzamelingsactie geschreven door de familie van Kris, want voor zover ik begrijp heeft de familie van Lisanne ontslag genomen en deze waarheid met tegenzin geaccepteerd!!! Ja, ik las dat Juan te horen kreeg dat er geen reden is om de zaak te heropenen, en laat staan ​​dat als de Panamezen hem heropenen, ze zoveel hebben gedaan om hem zo snel te sluiten dat heropening voor hen geen zin zou hebben, helaas moest je geslagen toen het ijzer heet was door de Nederlandse autoriteiten (misschien zelfs met een blokkade van Nederlandse toeristen naar Panama, en misschien waren er dan serieuzere onderzoeken geweest) hoe meer jaren verstrijken en hoe moeilijker het wordt. Ik wil het niet over Pitti hebben, maar er is geen schrijfvaardigheid voor nodig (als Italiaan dus neutraal) om te begrijpen dat de onderzoeken zo zijn uitgevoerd dat er geen compromitterend bewijs wordt gevonden, maar toch, zonder te kijken voor bewijs klopt de stelling van het ongeval op geen enkele manier !!! Ps misschien een verzameling online handtekeningen (als een bepaald quotum is bereikt) zal iemand in Panama beginnen te begrijpen dat het voor hen en hun toerisme misschien beter is als deze zaak voor eens en voor altijd wordt opgehelderd!!!

Did the taxi driver 🚖really ride Kris and Lisanne to the trail head on April 1 ? I don't think so. He lied because he was forced to lie . In fact , I believe the ND5 gang ride K and L to the trail . ALL hiking together on April 1 , 2014. They returned and then went to a hotspring in the same red truck 🛻 Look at photo 482 , I can see the edge of the red truck reflected on Lisanne's sunglass . 🛻
