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.

Spoiler Review: They Didn’t Solve It
I was furious that I wasted so much time listening to a podcast where you basically learned that they had an idea of who it was before they got there, which was reaffirmed while they were there, but nothing was proven.
Also, the focus on the white women while there are all of these cases she talks about that get no coverage because there are tons of women of color who are murdered and no one bothers to figure out why. Why do they not matter just as much? Why not cover their cases instead of the one that so many people have heard about?
Right back to square one with this podcast.
