The Mysterious Disappearance of Kris Kremers & Lisanne Froon 2014On April 1, 2014, Dutch tourists Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers disappeared on the Pianista Trail. Ten years later, their case has developed into one of the most mysterious true-crime cases thanks to a constant stream of new clues and theories. Hardly a week goes by without a new podcast or YouTube documentary being released. While internet detectives argue doggedly over the question of whether an accident or a crime caused the girls' certain death, journalists keep trying to seize control of the interpretation. So far, only a handful have managed to access the official investigation files, which are considered secret. However, those who have been able to view them have come to completely different conclusions. A book published in 2021, co-authored by the public prosecutor investigating the case at the time, attempts to reinforce the accident theory, taking a highly selective approach and ignoring clear evidence that points to foul play. In contrast, a true crime podcast series that has become an international bestseller picks up on an abstruse crime theory that has been circulating for a long time and deliberately manipulates its listeners.Exclusive Evaluation of the Investigation Files and Research in Panama 2024Investigative journalists Christian Hardinghaus and Annette Nenner have now been able to scientifically evaluate the official investigation files and forensic reports for the first time and clear up the misinformation on both sides. Their meticulous work is also based on five months of intensive on-site research. All important witnesses were interviewed again in person and new evidence was collected. Nenner also explored the Panamanian cloud forest day and night, tracing the paths that Kris and Lisanne could have taken."Still Lost in Panama" does not retell the case, but separates facts from rumors in a source-oriented and clean way. The authors sort out the pieces that don't fit in one of the biggest puzzles of our time and at the same time add important ones to set in motion the further clarification of the cold case.On the tenth anniversary of the Pianista Trail tragedy, this book is a tribute to the relentless search for answers, a memoir of two lives that ended far too soon, and a must-read for anyone interested in true crime cases and unsolved mysteries.Facts versus fictions Evaluation of the investigation files, search protocols, forensic reportsHair-raising investigative errors uncoveredNew expeditions into the cloud forestInterviews with old and new witnessesNew evidence for the reopening of the cold caseSecrets unraveled Research in the Pandilla: Who is really in the ominous swimming photo?The exoneration of tour guide Feliciano GonzalezWho owns the red truck?What happened to the red plastic bag?The mystery surrounding the lonely hut at the MiradorA new look at the time puzzle Read more
