Eric Fernando Gutiérrez Molina, a 32-year-old American Airlines flight attendant from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, has been identified as the deceased found in Colombia. He went missing on March 21 during a layover in Medellín after a night out.
Colombian authorities confirmed the identification of the body found near Jericó and Puente Iglesias. Mayor Federico Gutiérrez announced the discovery and expressed solidarity with the family.
