About this listen

In April 2014, two young Dutch women, Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, set out for a short hike near the town of Boquete, Panama. They never returned.

What followed was one of the most unsettling missing-person cases of the modern era. Weeks after the search began, a backpack was discovered deep in the jungle. Inside were their phones, personal belongings, and a digital camera containing a series of photographs — some taken in daylight, others in complete darkness — raising more questions than answers.

In this episode, we examine the known timeline, the evidence that was recovered, the official conclusions, and the lingering uncertainties surrounding what happened after the women became lost. We explore how a simple hike turned into an international mystery, and why this case continues to divide opinion more than a decade later.
