This is part two of an on-the-ground investigation into the mysterious deaths of Chris Cramer's

and the San Fron, two young women who died in the jungle of Panama in 2014.

What happened to Chris in the San was at a hiking accident, a double murder,

or something else altogether. I'm Mariana Tensu. In this series, I travel to the small town of

Boquete with Jeremy Crite from the Daily Beast to reinvestigate this case eight years later.

The official case file on Chris in the San is delivered to our hotel in Boquete under cover

of darkness. It comes in a rolling suitcase packed with five overstuffed vanilla envelopes.

It's a door stopper. A collection of maps, Xeroxed photographs, type depositions,

and hammered notes that weigh in at nearly 3,000 pages. When we dig into the sprawling document

with our pens and highlighters, there's one name that pops up again and again and again.

Feliciano Gonzales. Chris in the San were supposed to meet Feliciano for a tour on April 2nd

today after their pianista hike. They never showed, and Feliciano reported the missing the same day.

But this is also the same Feliciano who threatened Martina, that un gabe bucle,

woman who lives at the bottom of the pianista trail, not to talk about this case.

So what's his story? We would have liked to interview Feliciano, but he has consistently declined

to speak on the record with Jeremy, my colleague and our lead investigator about the case,

because in his own words, he dislikes Americans. He probably also dislikes Jeremy.

As a reporter for the Daily Beast, Jeremy quoted some sources who cast suspicion on Feliciano.

While he never used Feliciano's name in his articles, the implication was clear. Feliciano

may have had something to do with Chris in the San's deaths.
