15. Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon
Dutch tourists Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, aged 21 and 22 respectively, went missing in Panama in April of 2014. The two friends visited Panama to do social work with some of the local children and went hiking through a dense forest near the Costa Rican border. The ordeal Kremers and Froon went through shortly before their deaths appeared to be something straight out of a horror movie. Investigators found their belongings in the forest, among which was a cellphone with numerous attempted calls to 911 emergency. There were also numerous photos taken on the phone between 1:00 and 4:00am at a rate of one photo every two minutes; the two women likely used the camera’s flash function to see in the nearly pitch black forest. Almost two weeks after the two had gone missing, bone fragments were found in the forest and DNA testing confirmed them to be of Kremers and Froon. There is still definitive explanation of what happened to the dutch tourists, but most believe they had fallen off one of the numerous steep cliffs in the area and to this day their complete remains have never been found.
