该市市长周五表示,在搜寻一名在哥伦比亚麦德林停留期间失踪的美国航空空乘人员时,发现了一具遗体。
32岁的埃里克·费尔南多·古铁雷斯·莫利纳(Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina)是美国公民,居住在北得克萨斯州。据家人、朋友以及哥伦比亚官员称,他于周六晚上与另一名空乘人员外出后失踪。这两名空乘人员曾在麦德林的埃尔波布拉多(El Poblado)街区一家受国际游客欢迎的酒吧聚会。
古铁雷斯·莫利纳原定于周日乘坐从麦德林返回迈阿密的航班执飞。他的长期伴侣埃内斯托·卡拉赞扎(Ernesto Carranza)告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,周日早上联系不上他后,他开始感到担忧。

麦德林市长菲科·古铁雷斯(Fico Gutierrez)周五表示,在搜寻古铁雷斯·莫利纳的过程中,在赫雷罗(Jerico)和普恩特伊格莱西亚斯(Puente Iglesias)两个城市之间发现了一具”无生命体征的遗体”。
“高度怀疑这就是此人,”他在社交媒体帖子中表示,并补充说遗体已被送往麦德林法医办公室进行身份确认。”我们向他的家人和朋友表示声援。我刚刚亲自向身在麦德林的他的父亲传达了这个痛苦的消息。”
菲科·古铁雷斯表示,调查正在进行中。目前尚未获得更多细节。
卡拉赞扎告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,在联系不上古铁雷斯·莫利纳后,他的手机似乎在麦德林的两个地点有信号,但这两个地点都不在他下榻酒店附近。
“这两个地点都不在他当晚的住宿地点附近,”卡拉赞扎说。
古铁雷斯·莫利纳的另一位一同外出的空乘人员称,她对当晚的部分情况记忆模糊,这让事件更添谜团,其朋友莎罗姆·吉尔(Sharom Gil)向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露。
美国航空在向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻得州分部提供的声明中表示,”正在积极配合当地执法部门的调查,并尽一切努力在这段时间内支持我们团队成员的家属。”
当被哥伦比亚广播公司新闻得州分部联系时,美国驻哥伦比亚大使馆表示,”由于联邦隐私法,我们无法就大多数个人案件发表评论。”
美国国务院也在其向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻得州分部发表的声明中表示,”意识到了有关古铁雷斯·莫利纳失踪的’报道’,并正在密切关注事态发展。”
“特朗普政府没有什么比美国公民的安全更重要的,国务院随时准备为在海外需要帮助的美国人提供一切领事协助,”国务院周四表示。

Colombian mayor says body found in search for missing American Airlines flight attendant

A body was found during a search for an American Airlines flight attendant who disappeared during a layover in Medellin, Colombia, the city’s mayor said Friday.
Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina, 32, a U.S. citizen and North Texas resident, went missing Saturday evening after a night out with a fellow flight attendant. The two flight attendants visited a bar in Medellin’s El Poblado neighborhood, popular with international tourists, according to family and friends as well as Colombian officials.
Gutierrez Molina was set to work on a return flight from Medellín to Miami on Sunday. His longtime partner, Ernesto Carranza, told CBS News that he became worried when he wasn’t able to reach him on Sunday morning.

Fico Gutierrez, the mayor of Medellin, said on Friday that a “lifeless body” was found between the municipalities of Jerico and Puente Iglesias during the search for Gutierrez Molina.
“There is a very high probability that it is this person,” he said in a social media post, adding that the body is being taken to the coroner’s office in Medellin for identification. “We express our solidarity to his family and friends. I have just personally delivered the painful news to his father, who is in Medellin.”
Fico Gutierrez said an investigation is underway. Additional details were not immediately available.
Carranza told CBS News that, after not being able to reach him, Gutierrez Molina’s phone appeared to be pinging to two locations in Medellin that were not near his hotel.
“Both locations were nowhere near where he was supposed to sleep for the night,” Carranza said.
Adding to the mystery was that the other flight attendant who went out with Gutierrez Molina on Saturday said she could not remember parts of the night, his friend, Sharom Gil, told CBS News.
In a statement provided to CBS News Texas, American Airlines said it was “actively engaged with local law enforcement officials in their investigation and doing all we can to support our team member’s family during this time.”
When reached by CBS News Texas, the U.S. Embassy in Colombia said it was “restricted from speaking about most individual cases due to federal privacy laws.”
The State Department also said in its own statement to CBS News Texas that it was “aware” of “reports” of Gutierrez Molina’s disappearance and was “closely tracking the situation.”
“The Trump Administration has no greater priority than the safety and security of Americans, and the State Department stands ready to provide all consular assistance to Americans in need abroad,” the State Department said Thursday.
