Rest of our lives. A perfect life until she disappeared. Imagine you were calling, leaving messages. Calling, texting, and we started wondering. Why would she just leave . I called her Best Friend and said does she have a man . Where would she go . Why did someone she know own her slice of paradise . He got away with murder . He got away with murder. Hello and Hello And Welcome to dateline. It was a tropical hideaway where a group of adventurous americans thought they found paradise. Good times, sunshine, and a relaxed lifestyle. A place where people didnt ask a lot of questions about their neighbors. Until some of those neighbors started to disappear. Here is Kate Snow with Stealing Paradise. Its a dream that seems so out of reach. Quit the rat race, move to an exotic lapped, and buy your very own private island. Even when she was young, she wanted to travel. She wanted to see the world. She made it come true in the most unlikely place. The tiny faraway islands of panama. She would ju
reporter: still, as keith thought back to the days after bo moved out, an image kept returning to his mind. an image of bo s house right after he left. i walked in and looked around. it looked as if bo had gone to the store, not moved out. i went back and told my friends, i can t believe that house. it is really weird. towels on the back of the chair. his cane is next to the front door. there is dirty dishes in the sink. it s just weird. bo would just walk away. reporter: two americans missing. rumors began to swirl. could their disappearances be linked? the more you think about something like that, you know, it didn t add up. reporter: did it eat at you? yes, i kept thinking about it. because it wasn t right that cher would leave. i knew this girl would not leave town without saying good-bye and without a party. and bo could leave, but the two of them going together, i m just like sending their belongings after the fact doesn t sound right. reporter: and then kristen con
