The friends' phones revealed that around six hours into their hike someone tried to ring the emergency services 77 times. Between 5 and 11 April, Kremers' iPhone was turned on multiple times but the correct PIN code was never entered again - hinting that she was not the one handling the phone.

Women on hikes in the woods are easy targets.
No, but here’s a possible explanation:
One of the women is attacked y an animal, or falls off a cliff, and is either dead or unconscious. The other woman’s phone battery dies. She tries to use her dead/unconscious friend’s phone to call for help. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know her friend’s pin (do you know any of your friend’s phone PIN codes?). Eventually, exposure or another animal took the second woman out.
either that or Julio wanted to watch a novella on Youtube
Wouldn’t be the first time someone met their end at the hands of an evil person in a forest or jungle only to have animals come along later and scavenge the body.
That’s the point, the real issue.
The young women determined they could take care of themselves. They made the conscious decision that they were invulnerable.
They were wrong. They were in effect killed as a result of their sexism
In the complex jungle terrain in Panama, it is not hard to become disoriented and lost.
The streams are cut deeply into the terrain. if you mistakenly move from one watershed to another, you can go a very long ways without getting to civilization.
I spent five years in Panama. I had maps, compass, and was careful, and did not get lost. However, I never went more than a couple of hours into the jungle on foot.
A compass does very little good because, essentially, you must follow the river systems, and they are tortuous.
So emergency calls wont get processed without the user PIN
? it says the calls were from an area that had no cell coverage. Unless you have an actual satellite phone, cell phones are pretty worthless in remote areas.
“And this was in Panama in case anyone is wondering.”
Not wondering at all. It’s Johnny Quest. It’s the near a volcano. That’s all I need to know.
I clicked on only to see where it was. So thanks
I did the same in Europe many years ago. Often met young women who would travel with me, backpacking all over Europe for several months. We shared rooms and it was as though they were family.
Times have changed since then.
A few years ago I was in Barcelona, sitting by the big fountain on the main street when one immigrant asked another immigrant, “Why do you want to kill Americans?”
almost certainly no signal.
It always astonishes me how ignorant people are - both in planning such trips and analysis of the missing - regarding the most dangerous animal in the forest/jungle/wild.
The remains part is crazy. What is with these women going to South America to hike?
What were the sinister photos?
Profound naivete is a huge killer of young women. They think the world is their oyster and march blissfully to their doom.
“It’s a parent’s worse nightmare, having a child go missing.”
We lost our oldest son August 4th and right you are.
My condolences.

I didn’t read anything in the write up that said they had interviewed the two Dutch guys?
The first thing I noticed is that they are lousy photographers.
