The Bizarre Disappearance of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon

Disclaimer -  This blog is for educational and awareness purposes. I mean no disrespect to anyone spoken about in this blog. 

Kris Kremers age 21 and Lisanne Froon age 22 were Dutch students who decided to take a 6-week trip of a lifetime to Panama. The trip was a reward for finishing college and they saved up for months to pay for it.

On the 15^th of March 2014, the two girls began to tour Panama for two weeks, before arriving at their host family's home in Bouquete, where they would stay for the remainder of the trip. The girls were in Bouquette to learn culture, Spanish and to volunteer with children.

Timeline of events📅

•   April 1^st Both girls along with the host family's dog named Blue went on a hike of the Pianista. Just before heading on this hike they met two young Dutch men for lunch. This spontaneous hike was quite strange, as they had arranged to meet up with a tour guide the following day to go on this same hike, but for some reason they decided to do it the day before by themselves.

•   The night of April 1^st the dog returned to the host family, however the two girls did not. The host family became worried, but because the girls were adults and they could have just stayed out that night, they left their concerns until the following day.

•   April 2^nd when the girls did not show up to their appointment with the tour guide, he contacted the family. The girls where then reported missing to the police.

•   April 3^rd A search of the trail, which included the jungle surroundings was conducted. No sign of the girls or anything belonging to them was found.

•   April 6^th the girl’s parents arrived along with Dutch police and an extensive search of the jungle began. This search lasted 10 days and there was still no sign of the girls.

•   June 14th 10 weeks after the girls went missing a couple found Lisanne's back pack hundreds of miles away in another town. The couple insisted that the bag was not there the day before, as they check the area each day. There were many items within the bag some included; both girl’s phones, a camera, sunglasses, bikinis and cash.

The phone and Camera📞

The girls phone records are shown below. This was extremely alarming to the police as the girls tried to dial emergency services only a few hours after they began their hike. Both girls tried to call emergency services again many times over April 1^st and 2^nd however sadly they had no signal. They tried to search for a signal many times until April 5^th. After this Lisanne's phone died and Kris’s phone was turned on but each time the pin was put in wrong and on April 11^th the phone was turned off for the last time.

The camera proved the girls made it to the end of the trail, which was overlooking the continental divide. Further photos prove that they then went further past the divide and into the jungle. Between 1am and 4 pm there are 90 flash photos taken of different things deep in the jungle. Some of the photos are shown here. The most alarming picture is one of Kris Kremer's head with what appears to be blood on her temple. However this image was not made public. The images were totally random and 1 was taken every 2 minutes. Many people think they were trying to lead the way with the light, scare off animals or leave behind clues.

Both phones and the camera were in perfect condition, despite being in the bag for 10 weeks in the rain and the humidity..

The bones👣

After finding the backpack the police and locals searched that area and found Kris's shorts neatly folded on a rock. Two months after the bag was found a shoe was discovered with a foot still in it and a pelvic bone nearby. A further 33 bones were then found which belonged to both girls. they were scattered about the area which was a whole day’s trip away from where they started their hike.

Lisanne's bones still had some flesh attached to them, however Kris's bones had been bleached. The search team did not find any more bones of the girls in this location. None of the bones that they did find had any trace of animal scratching or biting.

So, what happened to these girls? and how did some of their bones get hundreds of miles away? they only had 1 bottle of water and some candy bars and they did not know the area, it really is a bizarre situation. A detailed video of the bone findings is shown below;

Theories🔍

Mexican Cartel

Bone bleaching is found in Mexican Cartel murders to decay the body faster. They use Lime, which was found on Kris's bones. After the bones were tested the police stopped releasing information, many believe this is because of DNA which proves foul play from Mexican cartels. Mexican Theory article

The girls passed away naturally

Due to the lack of food and water the girls could have died naturally while trying to make their way for help. This is very possible due to the conditions in the jungle, however it is strange that they made it so far away from the hike despite having barely any water.

Stalker

A common theory is that someone knew they were going on the trail that day and followed them. The potential person must have been someone who knew the area. This would explain why the phones where turned on multiple times and the incorrect password was inserted many times. The person then disposed of the bones in different areas.

Personally, I feel that this case is extremely strange. There are so many pieces of evidence that do not make sense. I really cannot put my finger on the reason these girls died.

Do you have any further information regarding this case? or any theories you wish to share? if so please comment below.
