Summary

Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon had been saving up for six months to take a fun friends trip together to Panama. They were hoping to learn Spanish, volunteer with children, and enjoy exploring a new country. Two weeks into their 6-week trip, though, the two would go hiking on the El Pianista trail. This would be the last thing the two Dutch students did in Panama, and their deaths remain a mystery to this day.
