On April 1, 2014, Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon left their host family’s home to take the family’s dog on a walk through the scenic forests around the Baru volcano in Boquete, Panama. Kremers and Froon were students from Amersfoort in the Netherlands. They had spent six months planning their trip to Panama, which was supposed to serve as part vacation, part service trip. They planned on spending some time hiking and touring while also volunteering with local children, teaching arts and crafts, and learning Spanish. The two women had been hiking around the Panamanian jungle for the past two weeks as part of a backpacking mission trip and intended to stay for the next four weeks with their host family to volunteer at a local school. However, after they waved goodbye to their family at 11:00 AM on April 1st, they were never seen again. The women had written a Facebook post, in which they discussed their intentions to tour the local village. They also wrote that they had had brunch with two fellow Dutchmen before embarking on their hike On the night of April 1, the host family noticed something was wrong. Their dog had returned, safe and sound, but alone — the girls were nowhere to be found. The host family searched the area around their home but decided to wait until morning to alert the authorities. On April 2, Kremers and Froon missed an appointment with a local tour guide who was supposed to take them on a private walking tour of Boquete, which prompted the host family to alert authorities. The next morning an aerial search of the forest was conducted as well as a search of the village and the lightly wooded areas by locals. By April 6, the two women were still missing. Fearing the worst, the families of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon flew to Panama, bringing with them detectives from the Netherlands. Along with local police and dog units, they searched the forests for ten days. Days turned into weeks, and after ten weeks there were still no signs of either Kremers or Froon. Then, as police were slowing their search efforts, a local woman turned in a blue backpack, claiming to have found it in a rice paddy along the banks of the river. Inside the backpack were two pairs of sunglasses, $83 in cash, Lisanne Froon’s passport, a water bottle, and two bras. Also inside, most importantly, was Froon’s camera and both of the women’s cell phones. The phones had remained in service for almost ten days after the women disappeared. Over just four days, 77 separate attempts had been made to call the police, both via 112, the emergency number in the Netherlands, and 911, the emergency number in Panama. Using the call logs, police were able to come up with an outline of the time the girls spent missing in the forests. The first two emergency calls had been just hours after Kremers and Froon had begun their hike to the 112 emergency number. Due to the dense jungle, neither attempts went through. In fact, out of all 77 calls, only one managed to make contact but broke up after just two seconds. Their was photos in the camera that were taken on the night of April 1 the photos shows the girls belongings spread out on rocks plastics bags and candy rappers, the back of Kris kremers head was shown with blood leaking from her temple after investigating the area nearby police found kremers clothing folded neatly along the edge of a river two months later a pelvic bone and a foot still inside a boot were found soon after that both woman’s bones were found lisannes froons bone had bits of flesh still attached Kris kremers bones were stark white like if bleached Police questioned several people tour guides and hikers but their wasn’t enough evidence to determine the cause of death To this day, the disappearance and deaths of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon remain a harrowing mystery.

on Christmas Eve 1945, in Fayetteville, West Virginia. George and Jennie Sodder went to sleep as nine of their ten children settled in for the evening. Their tenth child was away from home, serving in the military. At around 1 a.m., shortly after the calendar flipped over to Christmas Day, a fire broke out in the Sodder home. George Sodder and his wife escaped the inferno with four of their children, but the other five seemed to vanish from the scene of the blaze. George Sodder reportedly broke a window during the fire, re-entered the house, and quickly made his way through the smoke and flames that enveloped the downstairs. He reportedly figured his five children who didn’t make it out were trapped upstairs. No fire trucks arrived at the house until 8 a.m., seven hours after the blaze. The Sodder house burned to the ground, and the five missing Sodder children were never seen or heard from again. Maurice, 14; Martha 12; Louis, 9; Jennie, 8; and Betty, 5, disappeared without a trace. George and Jennie Sodder reportedly refused to believe their five missing children were dead, especially after a search of the grounds revealed no human remains. the chief of the fire department said the blaze was so hot that it would have destroyed the bodies. A state police inspector blamed the deadly fire on bad wiring But the Sodders became suspicious when they pieced together strange events leading up to the deadly fire. A man looking for work at the Sodder house a few months before the incident had told George Sodder that the fuse boxes in the back of the house were “going to cause a fire someday.” But the power company had recently checked the wiring and said it was working properly. At about the same time, an insurance salesman allegedly became angry with George when he turned down a life insurance policy. The man warned, “Your goddamn house is going up in smoke, and your children are going to be destroyed. You are going to be paid for the dirty remarks you have been making about Mussolini.” George was born in Italy and was allegedly outspoken about his dislike for Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, sometimes reportedly getting into intense arguments with other Italians in their hometown of Fayetteville. Jennie remembered hearing a loud thud on the roof about an hour before she noticed smoke coming into her bedroom, questioning the suggestion that bad wiring caused the fire In the years after the fire, people reported tips about the missing Sodder children around the country. One alleged that daughter Martha was living in a convent in St. Louis. Another claimed the children were living with a relative of Jennie. In 1968, 23 years after the fire, Jennie received a letter with no return address and a Kentucky postmark. The letter contained a photo of a man in his 20s and, written on the backside, the words: "Louis Sodder," "I love brother Frankie," "ilil Boys," and "A90132" or "A90135." The Sodders reportedly hired a private detective to track to the lead, but to no avail. The five missing Sodder children were never seen again

In the summer of 1999, a 36,000-square-foot grocery store in Fort Worth, Texas-commonly referred to as the Mexia Supermarket-was abruptly abandoned after its owners filed for bankruptcy. Instead of clearing out the store, they left behind thousands of pounds of perishable goods, including meat, dairy, and produce. When the power was shut off, refrigeration ceased, and the food began to rot. Within weeks, the building transformed into a festering biohazard. By October 1999, neighbors began reporting a foul stench emanating from the building. The Fort Worth Department of Environmental Management investigated and discovered a horrifying scene: clouds of flies so dense that visibility was nearly zero, rats and other vermin feasting on decayed food, and toxic gases seeping from the structure. The situation was so severe that nearby residents were advised to keep their windows closed and avoid using air conditioning to prevent drawing in contaminated air. The clean-up operation was unprecedented. Workers donned hazmat suits and respirators to safely enter the building. They manually removed the decomposed food, which had liquefied in many cases, and disposed of it in sealed containers. The process was both physically and psychologically taxing, with some workers describing it as the most challenging assignment of their careers. The disaster was partially documented by news crews and featured in the History Channel's series Life After People, specifically in the episode titled "The Last Supper." However, much of the original footage remains lost. Only fragments have surfaced online, fueling interest among lost media enthusiasts and urban explorers. Some of this partial footage is available on the Internet Archive. Following the extensive clean-up, the building underwent several transformations. It was later occupied by Terry's Mart, then a Family Dollar, and as of 2022, it houses a Dollar General and an auto parts store. The Mexia Supermarket incident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of negligence and poor crisis management. It stands as one of the most disturbing examples of urban decay and has become a case study in environmental health and safety protocols.
