https://www.laestrella.com.pa/nacional/141020/of-piece-medical-studies-examiner. ): https://ibb.co/nqy80hS Update Dec 2, 2021: The full-resolution version of this photo was released in 2021. Probably the culprit or stupid tribe didnt delete anything coz they took pictures on purpose .for example to sell the footage .but allready the police or parents who asked the investigator to delete it .they just simply didnt want to show it to everyone. As soon as I zoomed in, my heart sank for her. Thats perplexing to me. 1. I know that its tempting to a lot of people to make simple conclusions, but its simply not possible to make conclusions without more information. You need to be a Photoshop wizard of substantial level to even attempt this and it would take absolute ages. Yes, this was taken after their photos at the Mirador. Perhaps someone has just hit Kris on the right side of her head and she is putting her hand up to where it hurts. So they hide a lot of the gang activity and downplay what happens, which exacerbates the problem. It was taken on the Continental Divide exactly 14 minutes and 12 seconds after their photos at the Mirador. No way would I walk down that path. By April 6, 2014, theparents of both women grew frantic andflew to Panama with detectives from the Netherlands. Despite the heat and humidity, Panamanians wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Could it be the same man in both photos. Those two women were wearing very little clothing to be entering bush/jungle, there is no way that theyd easily make their way through vegetation, and, as they were clearly intelligent, why would they voluntarily just walk into dense bush? Likelihood the predator will strike again: 99.9% unless predator has died. If you would know (and read) every bits & pieces of this story, you would actually see that the they got lost theory does not hold up with any of the facts and evidence found, not at all, not one bit. Out of the dozens of calls, only one managed to connect, but broke up after just two seconds due to the lack of reception. Hi JW, yes I agree with you about many things. If you track the photos she takes her hair down around when she reached the top of the mountain and there are photos taken shortly after this showing her to be fine, in good spirits even. Hello and thank you for doing such a thorough research. I would not pay much attention to what she has to say as it sounds like she wrote this book to try to justify/clear herself from all the criticism she garnered through this experience: The group of 13 youngsters - nine from Coln province and four who were visiting from Panama City - left on Friday morning to go swimming in Gatn Lake. Ive written about dozens of stories involving incompetence of law enforcement in disappearance cases. Does this take a high level of tech knowledge and a computer? The problem with the links you are providing is not that the links themselves are necessarily unsafe (they could be, but we wont test them)the problem is that ALL of your links require users to download some form of content. Or another type of colorful animal found in the jungle? Hard noncontroversial evidence is very limited and what there is is open to interpretation. I agree with you. "Tourism contributes 10% to EU GDP and creates jobs for 26 million people," notes the European Union Tourism Trends report. For the next four days they travel. US Is Europe's No. The biggest danger for travelers in Central America is crime. I dont think there was actual foul play. Websites/blogs speculate about why, but nothing has been confirmed. If thats what Im seeing, I have no doubt that it was murder and that this photo and several others have been manipulated. Since they were two young women from Europe, I can easily see the possibility that they offended the wrong man. Packed up the bag, left it, and tried to walk out. Her hands are *not* tied behind her back. However, image 510 was taken on April 8, in the darkness of the jungle. Perhaps Kris is already caught in the trap and thats why she is in a funny position and her waist is drawn in tight. If you look closely at the top left part of this photo, you can see that, behind all the criss-crossed twigs and branches, there is a bank of rock. There seems to be no pictures of the dog. Even the cheap pair of sunglasses are in perfect condition. It looks like an indigenous person with shiny black hair walking away from Kris. However, calling emergency services doesnt require unlocking the phone, meaning a third party had to be involved. Kris and Lisanne's families decided to fly out to Panama and bring Dutch detectives with them. I wonder? They protested in China - now they've gone missing. Like a trap net or something. I think your initial analysis of the photo is spot on. Thats why Kris stops in photos once in a while as if to say this way, right?. Unfortunately we dont have a lot of answers to your questions. Sure, anyone can do these things with a computer and specialized knowledge but with this level of competence? This may explain why the taxi driver and the two young men died so soon after this incident. My interest would be to see if its scientifically possible for the official theory to have happened. Out of all the photos that have been released this photo disturbs me the most. Emilio Virola - 12 years in prison. Be careful. Think about it. The supporting pole is diagonal from upper right to lower middle indicating the path is beginning to head down. Fortunately, I have that ability. At that time, she had her phone. So sad what happened to them today is the first Ive heard of the story and its wildly upsetting. We can only speculate without more evidence of that. Also, sometimes the investigations go dead because the government wants the story to go away in order for the tourist trade to not be hurt. Basically, theres a lot of government corruption and poverty as a result. Something happened between the morning and afternoon of the 5th because it was in the afternoon that a wrong pin was entered and subsequently every time thereafter. There is something white on the object, which looks like a white piece of cloth. Both of their phones finally ran out of battery by April 11 - ten days after they disappeared. But the call logs gave the cops a rough outline of the time the girls spent missing in the jungle. That said, tourists wear shorts and sandals because they are not used to the heat or aware of such social norms. One or more abductor did know the phone PIN but not all people involved knew. After taking a deep dive into all the evidence and flying out to Panama to do their own investigation, the pair concluded that the girls' deaths were an accident. Depending on how many mobile towers there are the police should have information. As well as lots of other things It shows her right arm more clearly and it looks as though there is something square where you would expect her right elbow to be strange. Ive met a few people that have maintained their pet in the same way as we do in the USA. The bones of Lisannes foot were fractured in an unusual way (from the top down). Here is the comparison: When the Canon Powershot was recovered by Dutch authorites, there was a conspicuous missing file: IMG_0509. Kriss in the photo is just watching her step. Shadow play back and forth, I find it more than weird that you can clearly see the number 5. Note the shadow across her face , covering her eyes: that is from her hand. The students from Amersfoort in the Netherlands had spent six months planning their dream trip to Panama, hoping to spend some time backpacking, volunteering and learning Spanish. Why IMG_0509 is missing, which could be a crucial piece of evidence, is an enigma. Hi Abrahm, thank you for your comment. The theories go from accident to a crime to a combination of both. Seems like no one has taken off in the direction of the dog and what it could have offered us. Thanks for your comment. In the leaked images some 90% of the original information is irretrievably lost trying to read anything into any of the remaining spots and splotches is fools errand. You would write something out on notepad or at least be texting everyone in your address book hoping one got through saying Help. How Many Kids Does Linkin Park Have? So they made it out of there, The picture with her standing at cave entrance is also the same place she was standing in dark way off in background. Thanks for the analysis though, I keep looking for new stuff, this case really gets to meI can see why people think this was a criminal act -I see that with some aspects of the case, however, I do think that it was the result of injury and or getting lost -I cant see a criminal 1) letting them keep their phones and camera and 2) letting the camera and phones being discovered. Im baffled as to why this case hasnt been investigated more, if not for protecting an indigenous tribe. As for the wrong password entry. It would be interesting to know exactly where this photo was taken Is it along the main trail north of the Mirador en route to the stream crossing? In 2020 the number of international visitors to Australia dropped to 6.7 million due . Its incredibly sad. Btw, phones will connect to emergency services with or without sim card being present. Occums razor. ^ But the galvanized sign marking the terminus of the Pianista isnt really the end of the trail. In fact, theres a very obvious, albeit mud-choked, passage that goes down the other side of the crestonly to intersect with an entire web of paths constructed and used primarily by members of the indigenous Ngobe tribe. Being disoriented, and losing a companion, hunger, asthma. Also, I live in El Salvador, less than 1,000 kilometers from Panama, which has many cultural similarities. The smooth rocks would further back that theory up and the blue trash could have just washed up thereperhaps. I know if I was hiking and wandering in the jungle (and presumably possibly lost although not quite realizing this at this point), I would be curious about a manmade structure like this. Or whoever deleted the photos may have overlooked to delete this one as they could have done it in a hurry as well. Kris is sticking her tongue out in this photo. You can even see the smudges or blurring on the bottom of the plants into the dark areas in an attempt to blend the darkness area (where something or someone was likely standing). As for the night pics Im going to also throw this one out there and say the photos were heavily darkened to take away what was really there in view and then the spotty weather areas were added over including the rain drops. Just behind her tied hand area. No accident. Tony and Debra Velleman are pictured in an undated image. This figure has increased rapidly since the millionth tourist . She uses Kris phone, instinctively entering her own pin number. Why is no one talking about what appears to be a rock painting or a carving 3-4 feet in front of her? The guide had something to do with the girls disappearance. I dont know what Chris means by this, but at first I thought it was a wooden post sticking up from the ground and painted white at the top. I havent spotted the finger with the silver ring in photo IMG_0580 thats the name of the hair photo, and in the night photos you found out that there are not one but two individuals that are of native origin nonetheless, which specific photos led you to that conclusion? ?If they were attacked by people immidiately after this, how they took the photos?? Hands tied behind her back, face looks a bit puffy too, as if been in an altercation of sorts. Could fishing line be being used to secure all this making it hard to see, & could that blue object on the ground be part of the roof device- step on it & it triggers it or something like that? JW, I agree with you totally, thanks for your intelligent remarks! 1. Nothing can explain the bones, the cut foot, their underwear in one of the backpacks. Most gangs in Panama are not big gangs with hundreds of members, like you would find in Mexico and El Salvador. I believe that by the time this photo was taken, the situation has gone sideways. People have been there. Also important is who they met because two tall and very attractive new arrivals would certainly get all the boys tongues wagging. Each year, around 30,000 people are reported missing in Australiaone person every 18 minutes. The simplest is for them to disappear. Or if someone deleted them? Solvable: yes; but with each year that goes by less likely. Where is the Ping for that time? The abductor is a deeply religious man, in his own demented way, and he sees this as a sign from God. Panamas government is stuck in a desperate position. Government corruption is the core of the problem. View our online Press Pack. This girl was tortured before they killed her. Trust me, I prefer to take the easiest explanation too. I think someone took them there. Hi Chris, great work by you on this. Someone with darkish skin. Not lurking or following the girls or walking beside them; nothing. Apparently it would also have been easy to alter the time stamps on the photos. That is the big picture of this case. After this, the photos were from April 8, 2014and likely snappedbetween 1 amand 4 am. Like you, I also live abroad in a developing country. Debra Ann Velleman's husband, Anthony Velleman, another passenger and the pilot were rescued by Panamanian search and rescue teams. Stop trying to read too much into it. They took the dog with them on the walk and it came back the next morning but they didnt there had to have been some clues maybe like how far could the dog have gone and still find its way back home? I havent seen any discussions on this. More than 100 pictureswere on the camera; the first few looked like normal tourist photos with the womensmiling together. I think the left arm is visible behind her hanging down. December 12, 2022. In other pictures of her crossing water she is clearly dirty with her hair up. However, the tone of the pictures began to change. The dog wasnt in any photos, nor were the girls photographed after their disappearance. Not getting any fingerprints looks suspect. There was no signal!! Despite search teams, which included dogs and helicopters, there were no . He ledo toda la compilacin y visto la mayora de videos. It IS strange that the attempted SOS calls were so few. Sue Borries and Debra Ann Velleman are pictured in undated composite image. Thanks for any information you can provide. The case needs solid evidence and/or solid witnesses coming forward. After the backpack was found the family got to see the pictures and the case was ruled an accident presumably the 30 or so pics the family didnt release showed the girls in bad shape,, the case went from foul play to accident after the pics were seen.. the pic of the girls hair was put on internet by her brother or something like that and was quickly photoshopped , the wound and eye were concealed.
