Thank you for being patient with me, can't wait to get back into the swing of things! 💪🏽 PS. if you're ever wondering what's going on with MM just check my snapchat (bella_fiori) I always post updates there!

who else got this recommended 2 years later

Imagine the fear they felt when they realized they were lost.

Who els is watching this in 2020 while corona is going on

Such an interesting case... I remember in the summer after this happened I was about 18 and I had a job cleaning old peoples houses in my town. (Both of them were from the same area as where I live) I was cleaning in the home of a very sweet lady and I suddenly saw Lisannes picture on the wall, of course recognized her from the news. Poor grandma starting telling me that it was her granddaughter and that she never returned from her trip.. it was so heartbreaking!

I'm still wondering how the dog managed to find its way home... Smart dog

Strange fact: a taxi driver that drove the girls was found dead not long after this tragedy.

I’m having anxiety thinking about how scared the last survivor was. Super Creepy

I can’t think of anything scarier of being lost in a jungle in a foreign country with little food and no water, and then your best friend dying so you’re all alone

imagine what these girls went through that’s so scary

My dad always warned me against leaving the tourist areas if I visit anywhere. People disappear all the time. Trafficking, cartels, organ blackmarkets, and other crimes.

Here are two things I know for sure. The Panamanian government had this attitude of “they are already dead, let’s not let this screw up our tourism industry” hence the mention of wild animals and the natural death in the river. The other fact is there is a group of cannibalistic aboriginals in this exact part of panama. They are called the conojes which is Spanish for rabbits. They normally come out at night, they survive off jungle plants and stray livestock. They have been known to eat people since the first Spaniards who visited these regions. They have a rival tribe who are more civilized and welcoming, this is the tribe that the government recruited for help in finding the girls remains. These girls are the 3rd and 4th tourists go go missing in this exact region. The first being a British man in 2009 and the second being a lone female traveller sometime after that. Not a single bone fragment of theirs was found. I believe the girls were found, abducted and eaten by this cannibalistic tribe, who are well known and very feared by locals. The chirqui is their stomping grounds, it is their home and they know those trails better than anyone else. This explains how the girls stayed alive. Why their money was not taken, and why so many of their belongings were found. They embarked on what would be a 8 day journey into the depths of the jungle. They didn’t do it for fun or out of ignorance. The fact that so many people follow this story and know every minute detail about it, but have never even known that there is a cannibalistic tribe that calls that jungle home is a sign that this has been covered up. That would be a tourism nightmare for panama. Hence the authorities in panama exhausting every alternative excuse even though nothing fits. The reason there was so much evidence left is because this tribe has no knowledge of forensics, criminal trials or evidence. No modernized murderer would leave a boot a backpack and bone fragments scattered around. Even a camera containing photos of where the women were abducted. But a primitive nocturnal tribe with almost no external contact would do just that.

Who’s watching this through lockdown?

What if they took the pictures for land markers so they would know if they went in circles

I'm oddly relieved that the dog returned

the strange thing is that the dog 'blue' was never photographed by the girls. If the dog really walked a long with the girls, they would certainly have photographed him.

This case never fails to terrify me, imagine how scared you would be in that situation. And then if one died first leaving the other alone, horrifying!

The photo sequence theory makes zero sense. That camera takes videos with sound. Why didn't they just make a video explaining what happened to them and where they thought they were?

i need to stop watching these type of videos at night im so spooked

this is the most confusing case ever

I wonder if the dog got away from them and they started going off the trail to look for the dog...dog eventually just went back home but they got more and more lost :(

My theory is that they got lost on the trail and then they ran into a cartel and they harvested the girls organs. There is a huge black market industry for this in panama.

The most bizzare thing to me is that the host family's dog has seen all of things that have happened, but of course he/she can't tell it....if dogs could be able to speak.. :/

Nobody ever suspects the host family? did the dog really just find its way back home?

I don’t usually get scared by true crime cases but this makes me so so so uneasy

These poor girls. I wish they would have waited to hike until their tour guide was with them the next day

If the dog came back without the girls, they should have gone back to the jungle with the dog.

Damn the dog coming back could’ve been a pivotal moment in finding them ... like if the host family went and searched right when the dog came back

As my mom says: “If you get lost, hug a tree!”... Why did they have to walk around AT NIGHT?

No one: Everyone: I’m glad the dog is okay.

If the dog was smart enough to find its way back - wouldn’t they think to take the dog on the search? 🤔

ever think that the dog literally knows what happened

I’m from Panamá, I’ve walked in trails in that area. Without a guide is easy to get lost. People from our country that goes there usually train for a while before doing the trails because it requires some strength and skill. First time I went there my group did a “short” trail, we were working at a fast peace, with a guide, and common sense because some of us were from the countryside, and we still did almost 8 hours of walking. Some of our friends, city people, stayed behind and the guides had to look for them because they got lost in the blink of an eye. My whole group was able to finally get together at night. Some people was dehydrated, wet from head to toes, and since the temperatures drops a bit, some were shivering badly. This is a rainforest where the land is wet, slippery, your shoes get stuck a foot deep in the mud. Not saying there wasn’t foul play. But I remember this case clearly and we were all horrified they went into the jungle by themselves.

How on earth their cellphones batteries lasted 11 days!!

conspiracy: the government are making bellas equipment break because they don't want her releasing all this information..😂😂

Lusanne could have made an emergency call without the passcode on kris's phone. Everything about this case is strange once you look into it

Imagine the fear they had 🥺

Title: SUPER CREEPY Me alone in my bed at night: sounds interesting

I'm so sorry for the stress associated with this videos because of all the people always on your back about them. I appreciate how in depth you go in these videos !! xx

Love you Bella. I’ve DEEPLY RESEARCHED THIS CASE.! I’m talking months.. I do not agree that they died on Theyr own. I believe it was the tour guy. They offered a 30,000$ reward for these girls. The reward said “dead or alive” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤯 Then suddenly the same tour guide is the one that finds the first remains. No reward was ever issued and all the indigenous people are furious because they spent months helping.! The whole situation is soo tragic.! God bless both Theyr souls/Theyr families and everyone that helped with good intentions. I just love your content and your so gorgeous too. Love your vids

My two cents - those girls were murdered. I didn’t know a dog was with them. No dog is going to leave their companions on a hike and just head home. They are either left, or otherwise separated from their humans (ran off and got lost ...l in which case how would the dog find his way home). No deterioration of backpack - means it wasn’t outside that whole time so that’s easy. Someone placed it there. Not knowing the passcode - someone other than the owner was trying to use the phone. I think someone was following them and terrorized them. Eventually they were attacked and the dog was scared off or separated from its humans completely.

I’m scared af but I can’t stop watching these...

Maybe, the dog ran off and that’s why they got lost. Hear me out. The dog came home safely, but the girls didn’t. They got lost. I know if I was at a guest house, and the dog ran off, I’d chase the dog because I would feel awful about losing their dog. Maybe that’s what happened to the two girls. Maybe, the dog ran off, they followed the dog hoping to catch him, then the dog was able to find its way home LONG after the two girls had lost him. They then were stuck in the jungle, no idea where they are from running into the jungle after the dog, and tried to find their way back and got even more lost?

This case has simultaneously gutted and interested me, so I've watched a lot of videos on it and heard many different perspectives and collections of evidence on it. What I don't understand, which I've seen a few times now, is analysis like yours, which mentions facts about the case that so bizarre and significant, such as bleached bones, finding a shoe with a foot in it, most of their bones being missing, 90 random photos in the dark between 1-4 am on just one day a week after they went missing, someone trying to access a phone 77 times unsuccessfully, their backpack appearing out of nowhere in pristine condition with functioning electronics despite the torrential rains and it being near a river, and then conclude...yep, they surely died of the elements and dehydration. That's all. I mean, what's the explanation for all of those things, then? They should be taken more seriously than just being "weird." Speaking of weird, I also don't know why people omit the guide so much. He was the last one to see them, offered to take them on a guided hike, has a ranch not far from where the backpack and bones were found, supposedly has a history of being inappropriate with women, and also was the one who "found" their bones. I mean...putting all of that together, there's just no conceivable way foul play wasn't somehow involved in their deaths. And the guide also apparently went to their room at their host family's place, when he raised the alarm they were missing, and search their room without police permission. He's fairly obviously involved somehow.

4 years later this is recommend to me, i know this story because it was pretty big on the news here in the Netherlands. The whole case is so sad and scary at the same time. Thanks for covering cases all over the world. A thumb up for you!

Who goes thru the comment while watching this ?

How is it common for a foot to be in a boot in the middle of the woods 😂😂

Poor young girls.. 😞 So heartbreaking when people die, when they haven't even really lived yet.

i feel like with the photos they were trying to document their way so that way if they feel they needed to go back they would look at the photos and see the surroundings to find their way back to where they were

They took the photos to remember wich way they were walking so that they didn't end up going in circles

I find it strange that they would only bring one small bottle of water on a hike

feel like maybe the dog ran away and they went looking for it and that’s how they ended up off the path and they obviously didn’t want to return to the family without their dog

to ring emergency services you dont need to enter a password

I think the dog probably left to go back home because he knew the way, but probably didn't go back exactly on the trail. The girls thought he was running off so they tried to run after him and got lost.

This case is so creepy and sad! I started thinking about the pain and fear those girls had to go through... I mean... just think about what they could've thought in the moment they were dying... alone in the jungle... so sad...

Too anyone here wondering the "local tribe" that found the remains were cannibals

I'm a taxidermist and when I first started a few years ago I would look for raccoon and possum bones and whatnot in the woods near train tracks, so with the bones mentioned here, I'd be curious to know more about what the "bleaching" described. If the bones were corroded and the bone was flaking, you could easily say it has been bleached by human beings. But, there are natural decomposition circumstances in which a bone could end up whitened. It's very very common in places with heavy rain, and it's very common for bones found from the same animal to be not only scattered around by wildlife, and the bigger the deceased animal the bigger the scattering of the bones because the predator or scavenger is likely much bigger, and also, when bones are scattered like this early in decomposition a bone under a tree found in mud could very likely have more remaining flesh or grease (yellow/brown color) that bones found on rock or in the sun not protected as much from the rain. Also, often when someone drowns in water it's common for feet still in shoes to be found downstream because decomposition in water weakens certain joints much faster than the rest of the body so during decomposition feet will often detach in those circumstances. I hope I don't sound crazy, I'm just a taxidermist, I mean no disrespect to these girls. I do think it's very possible they got scared by something and ran off, separating them from the dog, but from what I know of decomposition I think in the end, one girl drowned, the other took photos so search parties might be able to figure it out, and then the other died of the elements, and maybe scavenging wildlife scattered the remains post mortem.

"Losing a foot is a very common thing"............what?!

People make petitions?!?! Wtf why are people crazy 😂 love u Bella

i don’t understand how people think this was an accident when there’s multiple things that point to this being a homicide

phones cant make emergency calls without service! you need service for any call. what you're probably getting it confused with is cell phones that are not connected to a network (the phone doesnt have to be active) and it can still call emergency services. but you need service sadly, either way.

The bone bleaching is throwing me off

I'm from Panamá and this was a big case here. I think that was one of the weirdest case that had happened. Greetings from Panamá. You're the best Bella.

Bella you should make podcasts about these story’s

Sometimes people get a bit to hung up on the "Bleached" part, making me feel like they suspect some chemicals being used, but a forensic expert made more clear that "sun bleached" is what its meaning. And if it laid on a river back with more sun reaching it, that wouldnt be to outrageous. Some werent bleached because: They were in a shoe, they were maybe in the shade, under plants some werent and got sunlight exposure They had no water - they followed a river? In wet season... kinda lots of water all around

there was definitely someone involved. how does someone’s pelvic bone end up away from the rest of the body?

I literally can’t stop looking at her lashes they’re so beautiful

I know this video is two three years old but I just heard of this today and it is bone chilling. The fact that their bones were scattered and different parts of them scattered everywhere means someone or something did something to them. What a scary thought.

The tour guide apparently went in their room while they were missing, searched where the phone charges were, stayed in their room for 30 minutes and then left. He didn't call the police right away but waited 10 HOURS before reporting them missing...that's more than enough time to do what he needed to do and take care of the bodies...One last thing, for some reasons he found most of the evidence even if it was in the middle of a huge jungle in pitch black...sounds like he was the one who put their body parts there from the first place...

2 girls going for a hike in the jungle by themselves in a foreign country without any kind of protection

You know what would be a cool idea! You should do a mystery for every state in the us. Like the craziest on for each state.

I'm watching this three years after it was uploaded and I still love it. It is so fascinating to me. You did a great job Bella

A show on the travel channel called lost in the wild covered this case recently. The host and camera man actually went and re created the path they had taken including the exact locations two of the photos were taken. The most interesting part of the episode though was the interview with the lady and her husband that found the back pack. According to the both of them a photo that was thought to have bin taken hours after they got lost past the great divide was actually somewhere before the great divide meaning they never went past the great divide but instead turned around and at some point for whatever reason got taken off the path. The wife and husband that retrieved the back pack have to be extremely familiar with that path especially to make such a bold statement as to state the photo was with no doubt somewhere before the great divide.

Maybe they were taking the pictures to be able to find their way back like to mark where they passed through

there's a lot of people who thinks those girls were eaten by cannibals, it's the theory that scares me the most

*Anyone else become a major crime case addict since covid??! I always was into crime stories but since Covid, it's... well honestly.... I basically watch videos on my phone all day while in doing things around the house so yeah, I'm addicted lol! It's actually hard for me to find cases I haven't heard of these days lol!*

irrelevant maybe but i can't stop thinking to myself how pretty her lipstick is aaaagh

But at the Same Time i also think it was definitaly Them who did the emergency calls bc they entered 112 First instead of 911 . 112 is the emergency number in netherlands ... so in Panic they probably forgot that & then remembered hey were in a Different Country it's probably 911... if it was someone trying to cover the tracks, they would've dialed 911 instead of 112

I would think that they took the pictures so they could find there way back, like bread crumbs in Hansel and Grettle

Everyone is talking about theories but I want u to feel no stress when it comes to uploading you can upload whenever you want and how ever you want. Don’t ever fee pressured to meet guidelines because it’s your Channel and your choice. The real ones will still be here and never put that type of pressure u were under

That is horrible people have threatened you about your channel. I love your channel and you do a great job. It is your channel so when you can post you post. People should just appreciate. Thanks for all.

My boyfriend was a boyscout. He knows all about the outdoors and knows ways to survive in the outdoors and he has a conspiracy theory. If they were in a jungle, they would have access to water. All they would have to do is boil it. They had sticks as well. You can make a fire with 2 of them no problem. Kris died first and her bones were bleached and lisannes were not. His conspiracy theory is lisanne was eating parts of Kris because kris's bones were bleached and they would have the same affect as if they were boiled in water (hence, why kris's bones were bleached bc lisanne was boiling her flesh to eat and lisanne's bones were not bleached.) Maybe the reason 28 of lisanne's bones were found was possibly why the rest of her's were scavenged by animals. Idk, just a theory tho 😂 we get into these videos way to much..

omg!! a true fan would never get mad at you for not uploading or for being late... who agrees ???

Honestly, not saying they should of thought of this but..I would’ve like left notes in my notes app on my phone to say what was happening exactly for someone to find

I think the biggest mystery here is WHY THE FUCK do people get so upset when you miss one upload that they threaten to start a petition to take your channel down? What a bunch of psychos, wow.

how tf is it common to find a human foot detached from the body? Lol

Kris passed away first. That's why hers were farther along and bleached. LisaAnne was the one trying to get into Kris' phone after hers died, to try to call for help. The pictures they took were probably an attempt to mark where they had been so as to find their way back or know if they were going in circles. It's a rainforest, it's easy to get potable water. A person can survive for on no food and just water for quite a bit. As a hiker, that's my guess.

my theory: the girls who’s bones weren’t bleached died from a fall or drowned or possible split from the other girl and eventually died of starvation. however the girls who’s bones where in fact bleached witnessed the other girl die and got terrified and continued to try to find her way home but led herself even farther into the jungle. eventually a cannibalistic group found her and killed her then ate her. they may have seen her phone and supplies and realized that she has ppl in her life who would be looking for her and if they find these clues from her they could find out who did it. so they bleached her bones to try and hide there dna or whatever is left on the bones that when you don’t bleach them you could get caught. they must have scattered her bones so that they wouldn’t be all in one place and ppl would start a search in that certain spot. for the pictures that were taken at night i believe that was the girl who was eaten who took those and she took them as landmarks to know if she was or was not going round and round in circles. (i believe this or the theory she mentions at the very end that she personally believes!)

someone was definitely after them or found their dead bodies afterwards its so weird but they were probably lost and delusional at a point before they died

My theory is that got lost on the hike. They turned the phone son and off to conserve battery. The pictures and the method to them was for reference to make sure they weren’t going in circles. The one girls head injury might’ve been from a fall on a rock. One died before the other and she was trying to get into her friends phone after her own phone had died. Natural lime bleaching probably occurred on the bones. Animals ran off with the rest of the remains. I think it was just a sad accident.

3 years late, but don’t worry about not uploading. Take breaks when you need it! We love anything you upload.

You’re so beautiful. I love the way you do your eye makeup! Your content is awesome. I found it ~ months ago and have been listening to the cases non-stop! So good!

from memory isn't there an emergency call function on iphone tho which you don't need a password to log into? that would mean that whoever was trying to log on didn't want to log on for emergency reasons tho? Also the bag was spotless which was really weird and if it had been raining it probably would have at least been a little bit dirty, especially since it turned up two weeks (was it two? I can't quite remember?) after they disappeared... Edit: could the photos be taken as check points or markers? like a way for them to discover what way they had came so they could identify places if they needed to? idk just an idea

Foot: *Is detached from body* People: "Yes this is normal"

New favorite true crime channel, I'm super creeped out!

i think the camera part is the weirdest. i can’t stop thinking about it

I think that while they were taking their hike they got lost and asked someone for help and that someone ended up not being too friendly. And when they realized they were in danger they sent the dog away for safety and to let their host family know something happened or is going to happen to them. So sad...

So far this is the best and most researched account I've seen... Well done ! Panama, black magic, witchcraft, wild animals, aliens .... It could a combination of any of these.

I loveee the way you tell these you’re amazing❤️❤️❤️

I remember when I was about 15 and we were on a plane coming back from Mexico it was me my mom and sister. We ended up meeting this really nice mother with her two daughters and she stated they had recently escaped from I’m not sure if it was panama, or Honduras, Chile, but the mother said her husband was killed and whomever had herself and daughters tied in trees for many days and they had escaped and literally got a plane and flew to the US literally two days after that had happened, meanwhile they are in the airport probably paranoid as ever, they said now they couldn’t ever go back to where they were from, I wonder how they are doing now we didn’t get their names nor what city they were going to, but it would be cool to know more about it
