According to reliable sources, Marion Clamp, a long time member of boquete.ning and widow of former member Marvin Clamp, was shot and stabbed early this morning at her home in Potrerillos Arriba.
There were apparently three assailants.
This is a similar M.O. to a recent home invasion of an extranjero in the same area.
Marion is recovering from her injuries in Hospital in David.
More info when it becomes available.

Hello Walter. This is Marion's daughter. I am no longer posting updates on this website. There is too much misinformation going around on ning, not to mention many hostile messages on various topics. I will soon be terminating my membership here. Please refer to the chriquichatter website for reliable updates. Thank you and take care.
Denada.
Walter, you can get daily updates on Chiriqui Chatter.
Good evening all! I am Deborah, Marion's daugher. I have heard/read some misinformation in regards to my mother and the situation. For reliable, first hand information please visit the chiriquichatter website. Don is with me at every step and I trust him with all information. Things are getting misconstrued from people passing on "what they heard". I say this not the offend anyone, but to ensure the correct information is being read.
I would like to thank everyone's kind words and well wishes and please know that I will pass these on to my mother. The amount of love and support for her has brought tears to my eyes on several occasions. There truly are some amazingly wonderful people in this world. Thank you again to all who have taken the time to write kind words, say prayers, send good vibes, and try to visit her in the hospital. You'll never know how much it means to my mother and myself.
Deborah,
The community is in support of you Mom, and we are so very sorry this has happened. Please give he our continued love and support. I am sure having you by her side has made a great difference.Take care
Hello Robyn! This is Marion's daughter. If you are still able, I ask that you do please donate. The hospital does not have enough and is looking for donors. Thank you very much!! And I can guarantee that if you had met my mother, you would have an instant friend! I hope that in the near future my mother and myself will have the chance to meet such a wonderful person such as yourself - offering to donate to a person you don't even know... Thank you!
Hi Deborah
I am so sad and concerned about what have happened to your mother. I live in Panama City and couldn't be of help. I did all I can to protest and inform all media in Panama about this terrible event and ask the authorities for taking care of the increase in crime activitity in Chiriquí.
When your mother feels good tell her that - su amigo panameño Roger Bellido and his wife - have her in our prayers. I cant travel to Chiriquí after October 15th. I would like to visit her and say hi and do my promise to sit with her and my wife, take a good cup of coffee and talk about Panama. She love my country and I am so glad to have exchanged with her so many emails and messages. We laughed a lot about some issues and discussion in this site. Last week I sent her my cell phone number if she needed my help or just wanted to talk with somebody.
She is a very nice and fine lady and I know she will be doing better soon.
Roger Bellido
