Message from the parents of Kris kremers and Lisanne Froon

[Lily]

Below please find a message from the parents of Lisanne and Kris. They left for Holland today with heavy hearts and a very tearful farewell. I appeal to all the forum users to please refrain from any comments that may have the slightest inkling of negativity. They have commented that this is very painful. I know and can say with much certainty that whatever has been posted, we all feel badly for their plight. I do not believe it was ever anyone's intention to cause them more harm. However we must, I think, be thoughtful and circumspect and to think before we post. We should be the best that we can be toward each other in order to honor and respect these families. I beg you all, only post positive, hopeful, and good wishes for the families. We can only imagine their untold pain and negativity will not help anything. Please pass it on.MESSAGE FROM THE FAMILIES OF KRIS REMERS AND LISANNE FROONApril 19, 2014Dear Boquete Friends,We, the families of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, most urgently want to insure the search for our missing daughters continues without any delays or interruptions, even though we now have to temporarily return to Holland.

THE DISAPPERANCE of two young Dutch women tourists in Panama on April 1 has now become a homicide investigation.

The Homicide Unit prosecutors and l Specialized Prosecutor's Organized Crime Office took over the investigation into the case of Kris Kremers 22, and Lisa Froon 21, who  went missing since in Boquete, Chiriquí , when they apparently left their hostel and went for a hike.
A source close to the investigation at the time of the disappearance of the two girls ,told La Prensa that the possibility that they have been victims of a criminal act is being pursued.
After the disappearance , officials of the National Civil ProtectionService (SINAPROC), using helicopters and tracker dogs, Fire Departments and local guides conducted extensive searches in the area of the Baru volcano and on trails frequented by tourists.

Take a look at NBCNews.com. There's a story from Dutch Police about the two missing girls. It's now in the mainstream media.
