This, of course, meant that the advice often given to follow rivers when lost in the wilderness would take them further away from where they were staying and deeper into the wilderness - the south of the summit was highly developed, the north is miles and miles of jungle mixed with sparsely-habitated cattle pastures and Indigenous villages. Photographs taken by Lisanne confirm the two trekked up the El Pianista trail on April 1st, making good time, taking several shots at the summit and a few at locations that are clearly on an unofficial, less worn trail leading north down the other side of the continental divide. A perfectly mundane explanation in Kremers and Froon’s case is simply that the girls perished in the jungle, perhaps trapped after falling into a ravine, which would be washed out with the rising waters of the wet season, depositing their remains further downstream.

What evidence available is often far from a complete enough picture to say anything definite, and much of what seems like potential evidence is just red herrings. The unfortunate reality of cases such as these is that they are not crafted puzzles to solve. Cooper case, the flight attendant who acted as an intermediary and was the only one to see Cooper after the plane took off again with parachutes and ransom money in tow has had people harass her for more information ever since. Speculation around such cases can be quite the rabbit hole of curiosity, though its effects are not benign - well-publicized disappearances often lead to undeserved extra attention for anyone remotely connected to the case.
