🛑 MISSING AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT ATTENDANT IN COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 🛑
Sharing to help spread awareness.
A 32-year-old American Airlines flight attendant based in Dallas–Fort Worth has been reported missing in Medellín, Colombia.
Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina was last seen Saturday night while on a crew layover.
According to early reports, Eric went out with two coworkers, a man and a woman. They reportedly went to a club. At some point, he left with the female coworker and a group of individuals to go to another location. He never returned to the hotel.
Another flight attendant has shared that the female coworker later needed medical attention after an incident that may have involved being drugged. She did make it back safely, but Eric did not.
Authorities in Medellín say they have identified the people last seen with him and are actively working to locate them. Investigators believe those individuals may be connected to past incidents involving theft using a substance known as scopolamine, sometimes referred to as “devil’s breath,” which has been linked to robberies and assaults in the area.
Officials have reportedly identified vehicles and phones tied to the case, but no names have been released publicly, and it has not been confirmed if anyone is in custody.
Eric’s last known communication was Saturday night before contact suddenly stopped.
His boyfriend, Ernesto Carranza, said he became concerned when he could no longer reach him. Their last conversation indicated Eric was heading out with coworkers before communication ended.
Family and friends have filed missing person reports in both Texas and Colombia. The FBI’s Dallas Field Office is now involved, and the U.S. Embassy in Colombia has been notified.
American Airlines has stated they are cooperating with law enforcement and supporting the ongoing investigation.
There are also circulating reports that a female coworker may have been drugged that same night. At this time, that detail has not been officially confirmed by authorities.
Scopolamine is a drug known to cause confusion, memory loss, and extreme vulnerability, and has been linked to crimes targeting individuals in nightlife settings in Colombia.
At this time, Eric Gutierrez Molina’s whereabouts are still unknown.
Department of State list Colombia as a Level 3 Advisory: Meaning Reconsider Travel due to high crime rates, terrorism, civil unrest, and kidnappings. Certain regions are deemed a Level 4: DO NOT TRAVEL.
