Colombian Mayor Says Body Found in Search for Missing American Airlines Flight Attendant
Authorities found a body likely belonging to the missing American Airlines flight attendant after a nightclub visit; investigators have strong leads on suspects, officials said.
- On Friday, Medellin Mayor Fico Gutierrez announced that authorities found a body with a "very high probability" of being American Airlines flight attendant Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina, located between Jerico and Puente Iglesias, about 60 miles southwest of the city.
- Gutierrez Molina went missing last Saturday after visiting a nightclub in Medellin's El Poblado neighborhood with a coworker, then failed to report for his scheduled flight to Miami on Sunday.
- Partner Ernesto Carranza reported that Gutierrez Molina's phone pinged at two locations nowhere near his hotel, while authorities investigate reports the flight attendant may have been drugged after being approached by a man at the club.
- Investigators have "very strong leads" on suspects in the case, according to Mayor Gutierrez, who personally delivered the news to the victim's father who had traveled to Colombia to assist in the search.
- A medical examiner is currently working to formally identify the remains, while American Airlines stated it is actively supporting the family and the U.S. State Department is closely tracking the situation.
