(SeaPRwire) – A Colombian mayor has announced the discovery of a body, believed to be that of a missing American citizen.
The missing individual has been identified as Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina, a 32-year-old American Airlines flight attendant from Texas, who disappeared while in Colombia.
“Since last Sunday, we have been searching for Eric Gutiérrez, a U.S. citizen who is missing,” stated Medellín Mayor Federico Gutiérrez in a post on X on Friday, as translated from Spanish.
“Regrettably, a lifeless body has just been found between the municipalities of Jericó and Puente Iglesias,” he added.
“There is a very strong likelihood that it is this individual,” the mayor elaborated.
“We are devastated by the tragic loss of our colleague,” American Airlines stated in a message shared with Digital on Saturday.
