Two Suspects Arrested in Peru for Murder of American Airlines Flight Attendant
U.S. and South American authorities say the suspects used scopolamine in robberies, and one suspect has been transferred to Colombia while another awaits extradition.
- Authorities announced that two people were arrested in Peru on July 26 in connection with the murder of American Airlines flight attendant Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina, who disappeared during a layover in Colombia earlier this year.
- Molina vanished on March 21 during a layover in Medellin after visiting a bar with a colleague; investigators believe the pair encountered individuals using medication associated with theft before he disappeared.
- Searchers discovered a "lifeless body" between Jerico and Puente Iglesias, about 60 miles from Medellin; Mayor Federico Guti confirmed the high probability that the remains belonged to the missing crew member.
- Homeland Security Investigations offices in Bogota and Lima coordinated the capture of the suspects; one individual has been transferred to Colombia, while the other remains in custody in Peru.
- American Airlines, which called the death "heartbreaking," continues to assist Colombian law enforcement, expressing support for the family and colleagues of the 32-year-old crew member during this difficult time.
