A 32-year-old Dallas-based American Airlines flight attendant went missing during a layover in Colombia over the weekend, authorities said.
Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina has been reported missing after he disappeared during a routine crew layover in Medellín, according to KXAS-TV.
Gutierrez Molina arrived in Colombia on Saturday night on a flight from Miami. After the overnight layover, Gutierrez Molina and his colleagues were scheduled to return to the United States on a flight to Miami on Sunday morning, according to local public television channel Telemedellín.
Friends and coworkers have filed missing person reports with local authorities. Gutierrez Molina went missing shortly after sharing his location at an Airbnb, KDFW-TV reported.
Sharom Gil, one of Gutierrez Molina’s friends, told Telemedellín that the missing man and another colleague left the hotel to go out on the town. Gutierrez Molina and the coworker met two guys at a club and went to party at another place after the club closed, Gil said.
Dallas-Fort Worth based American Airlines officials told FOX 4 that they are actively engaged with local law enforcement and are providing support to Gutierrez Molina’s family during the ongoing investigation.
