"Shattered" Partner of American Airlines Flight Attendant Missing in Colombia: "I Want to Believe that He's Alive"
Eric Fernado Gutierrez Molina, 32, vanished after a night out during a layover; his phone pinged multiple unexpected locations, prompting a coordinated search by Colombian and U.S. authorities.
- Dallas-Based American Airlines flight attendant Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina vanished in Medellín, Colombia, Saturday after arriving for an overnight layover, prompting an active search by authorities for the 32-year-old.
- Gutierrez Molina visited an establishment in El Poblado with a female coworker Saturday night; his colleague returned disoriented, but he disappeared shortly after sharing his location via Airbnb.
- Friends and family fear Gutierrez Molina may have been drugged with scopolamine, or "devil's breath," after his phone pinged locations far from his hotel, which partner Ernesto Carranza noted were "nowhere near where he was supposed to sleep."
- Manuel Villa Mejía, Medellín's security secretary, declared his "top priority" is locating Gutierrez Molina "safe and sound," while American Airlines confirmed they are "actively engaged with local law enforcement officials in their investigation."
- The disappearance coincides with a U.S. State Department travel advisory urging Americans to "reconsider travel" to Colombia due to widespread violent crime, an advisory that remains in effect as international agencies assist local authorities.
