Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers were two young Dutch women from Amersfoort, Netherlands, who traveled to Panama in March 2014 for a volunteer trip. Both in their early twenties—Froon was 22 and Kremers 21—they were adventurous, responsible, and well-educated, described by friends and family as bright and full of life. Their plan was to spend several weeks in Boquete, a mountain town popular with tourists, where they would work with local children and explore the nearby jungles and trails during their free time. Before their volunteer work officially began, they decided to take a hike on April 1, 2014, along the scenic El Pianista trail, a route known for its beauty but also its remote and treacherous terrain.


When the two failed to return, a massive search effort was launched involving local authorities, Dutch investigators, and volunteer teams. Days later, some of their belongings—including Lisanne’s camera and Kris’s backpack—were discovered along a riverbank deep in the jungle. The recovered photos and data painted a chilling picture: early selfies from their hike showed them happy and carefree, but later nighttime images suggested they were lost, disoriented, and possibly injured. Fragments of their bones and remains were eventually found, but their cause of death remains unresolved. The mysterious circumstances of their disappearance—combined with eerie photographs and strange phone activity—have fueled countless theories ranging from tragic accident to foul play, turning their story into one of the most haunting modern travel mysteries.
