In 2014, Dutch friends Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers disappeared while hiking a jungle trail in Panama. Two months later, investigators found their remains, as well as a backpack with a digital camera filled with photos that hinted at a darker story. What happened to Kris and Lisanne? In this investigative series, journalists Mariana Atencio and Jeremy Kryt retrace the last steps of the doomed women. Their search for the truth immerses them in eight years’ worth of conflicting evidence, testimonies, and rumors, as on-the-ground witnesses in Panama come forward for the first time. This explosive new evidence sets off a real-time race to reopen the case, and finally get justice for Kris and Lisanne.

I did a binge listen… I’ve been to Boquete Panama , it’s fascinating hearing about this side of Panama. I never heard about this case of the Dutch girls murdered in Panama . Brilliant story telling !!
Fascinating!
A well told investigation about a tragic story.
Good listen but …
I did not find the theory put forth in episode 6 credible or plausible at all. It seems more like a grieving mother’s attempt to whitewash her son’s gangster lifestyle. It ascribes far too much strategizing and smarts to thugs. My sense is that a lot of local people inserted themselves into this story as a way to feel special, and it just spiralled into myth. This series started strong, and credit where it’s due for the “boots on the ground” investigation, but disappointing weight placed on gossip and hearsay. Sad story full of questions perhaps best addressed with some Occam’s razor.
