My grandmother takes it as a personal insult when you don't eat her cooking.
As the oldest of nine children (8 girls, 1 boy) I was the mommy-in-training and we made FOOD.
I grew up side by side with my mom in the kitchen. I come from a giant Italian family, and even when you're not technically family, we still act like you are. I was obsessed with sewing, crafting, photography, cooking, and of course - baking. In fact, I wanted to grow up and be a mom. I was, and always will be a girlie girl (yes, even as a #boymom) and I have always loved all things homemaking. With that context in mind, the authors of Lost in the Jungle did a thorough job unraveling the mystery.Growing up I have always loved the arts. And as time blurs memories, disinformation lingers. But only simple, blunt facts can be absolute and truthful. In cases like the disappearance of Froon and Kremers, research can shear near to the facts and take you close to the truth. The timeline before that is pretty exact, and the time after the first emergency call we’ve been able to reconstruct what must have happened.”īut during that small window of time, something unknown could still have happened. “From the moment the last photo was taken on April 1, to the first emergency call that day, around two hours and 45 minutes later, those are hours that we’ve been unable to reconstruct with certainty. West admits a few hours remain unaccounted for. Most, but not all questions surrounding the case are answered in Lost in the Jungle. “Straight after, the police were inundated by tips, each had to be checked out, losing them valuable time. “There was this specific moment when the reward for the critical clue went up from $3,000 to $30,000,” the author explained. But the enormous international attention for the case didn’t do it much good. According to West, “Once we had the files, we could understand where people outside the investigation got sidetracked and why.”Īfter reviewing the files, the authors say they think the Panamanian authorities did an excellent job. There was so much of it floating around on the internet and beyond, it created a skewed image of the situation and a false idea of what possible scenarios are. She was OK with that, and said: you can ask me anything you want.”ĭebunking false information and disproving rumors became part of the core of the book. We also asked her if she would extend her collaboration to the book. “So I asked her if, instead of an interview, she would be willing to share the police file with us, let us translate and study it. “When I approached her for the first time she was wary, wanted to know who I was and what my take was on the case,” West said. In this book, Pitti wants to set the record straight. Others said she botched the investigation in order to protect the Panamanian tourist industry. Public prosecutor Pitti, during the investigation, never responded to the allegations made against her. Those flash floods made staging scenes or strategically placing items impossible.” Snoeren had called West and told her: “With all that I’m reading now in the police file, it couldn’t be anything else… there was a certain sequence and timing to it, that had to be caused by the flash floods, typical to the region and season. The meeting with Steffens left West and Snoeren stunned, and overflowing with questions.īut there had been a turnkey moment, and it had everything to do with the way the girls’ belongings and remains were found. Nothing came of it, and the family never heard from Stefan W.

“The man claimed he would be able to free her. had come forward, saying Kris Kremers had ended up in the sex trade,” West added. “What he told us blew us away,” West says, explaining that “ said: Kris Kremers is possibly still alive.”Īs if that statement wasn’t controversial enough, Steffens added that he thought the Panamanian investigation was shoddy and should be redone. You could really move in any direction.”Ī little further along their research, they got in touch with Dick Steffens, a former Amsterdam detective, who was still looking into the case on his own initiative. We saw facts re-appear as if publications were copying one another. “We started by looking on the internet, where it was extremely difficult to separate fact from fiction. “That’s when we decided to work out what had really happened for ourselves,” the author explained.
