一名美国航空空乘人员在哥伦比亚麦德林停留期间失踪，目前正在展开搜救，其亲人迫切寻求真相。
据埃里克·费尔南多·古铁雷斯·莫利纳（Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina）的长期伴侣埃内斯托·卡兰萨（Ernesto Carranza）和他最好的朋友沙罗姆·吉尔（Sharom Gil）透露，32岁的美国公民、北德克萨斯州居民于周六晚上与另一名空乘人员外出后失踪。
据家人、朋友及哥伦比亚官员称，这两名空乘人员前往了麦德林埃尔波布拉多（El Poblado）街区一家受国际游客欢迎的酒吧。
卡兰萨告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，古铁雷斯·莫利纳的失踪让他”心碎不已”。
“我愿相信他还活着，我也会一直相信他还活着，但每天醒来都一无所知，这让日子变得更加漫长和难熬，”卡兰萨说。
“我感觉失去了一部分自我……他是身边最快乐的人，”吉尔说，”我们现在都迷失了方向。”

卡兰萨和吉尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，他们最后一次与古铁雷斯·莫利纳沟通是在周六晚上，当时他说要和同事出去。
“周六晚上我和他通话，他说他在哥伦比亚有停留，要和朋友们出去，”吉尔说。
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，但卡兰萨在周日上午无法联系到他后感到警觉。随后他发现古铁雷斯·莫利纳的手机信号似乎出现在麦德林的两个地点，均不在他的酒店附近。
“这两个地点都离他当晚的住宿地很远，”卡兰萨说。
更添谜团的是，与古铁雷斯·莫利纳周六一同外出的女同事称她对当晚部分时段失去记忆。
“和他一起出去的是他的女同事，”吉尔说，”我们不想透露她经历的具体情况，但她也是费尔南多目前遭遇事件的受害者之一。她当时意识模糊，但最终还是回到了停留酒店。”
卡兰萨表示，居住在得克萨斯州的古铁雷斯·莫利纳父亲已前往哥伦比亚协助当地警方搜救其子。目前哥伦比亚当局的搜救进展尚不清楚。
麦德林安全秘书曼努埃尔·比利亚·梅希亚（Manuel Villa Mejía）周四在声明中称，他的”首要任务”是确保古铁雷斯·莫利纳”平安归来”。梅希亚表示，古铁雷斯·莫利纳与同事前往”埃尔波布拉多区的一家场所”，之后一行人转移至另一地点。
“自那时起，他的下落不明，”梅希亚说，”因此，失踪人员搜救预案已立即启动。”
梅希亚表示，哥伦比亚官员正在与美国驻哥伦比亚大使馆及古铁雷斯·莫利纳的家人（包括他的父亲）协调。
“我们将坚守一线，不知疲倦地持续工作，直到找到他——希望很快就能找到——让他与家人团聚，”梅希亚说。
美国航空在提供给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻得州分部的声明中表示，公司”正积极配合当地执法部门的调查，并尽一切努力在这一时期支持我们员工家属”。
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”。
美国国务院也在向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻得州分部的声明中称，已”了解”古铁雷斯·莫利纳失踪的”报告”，并”密切关注局势”。
“特朗普政府没有比保障美国人安全更优先的任务，国务院随时准备为海外有需要的美国人提供一切领事协助，”国务院表示。
职业空乘人员协会发言人也向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻发表声明称，协会”正在支持寻找失踪机组人员的所有努力”。

A search is underway for an American Airlines flight attendant whose disappearance while on a layover in Medellín, Colombia, has left his loved ones desperate for answers.
Eric Fernado Gutierrez Molina, 32, a U.S. citizen and North Texas resident, went missing Saturday evening after a night out with a fellow flight attendant, according to Ernesto Carranza, Gutierrez Molina’s longtime partner, and Sharom Gil, his best friend.
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.
Carranza told CBS News he has been “shattered” by Gutierrez Molina’s disappearance.
“I want to believe that he’s alive, and I want to continue believing that he’s alive, but throughout each day you wake up not knowing anything, and it makes the days go by longer and slower,” Carranza said.
“I’m missing a part of me … He’s the most joyful person to ever to be around,” Gil said. “We’re so lost right now.”

Carranza and Gil told CBS News they last communicated with Gutierrez Molina on Saturday night, when he told them he was going out with coworkers.
“I spoke with him Saturday evening, he was just telling me he had a layover in Colombia and he was going to go out with his friends,” Gil said.
Gutierrez Molina was set to work on a return flight from Medellín to Miami on Sunday, and Carranza said he became alarmed Sunday morning when he was unable to reach him. He then discovered that Gutierrez Molina’s phone appeared to be pinging to two locations in Medellín 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, according to Gil, was that Gutierrez Molina’s colleague who went out with him Saturday said she could not recall parts of the night.
“It was his female coworker, they both went out,” Gil said. “We don’t want to disclose anything that happened to her, but she was also a victim of whatever Fernando is going through right now. She was disoriented, but she was able to make it back to the layover hotel.”
Carranza said that Gutierrez Molina’s father, who also resides in Texas, has traveled to Colombia to help local authorities in the search for his son. The progress of the search being conducted by Colombian authorities was unclear.
Manuel Villa Mejía, the security secretary for Medellín, said in a statement Thursday that his “top priority” was locating Gutierrez Molina “safe and sound.” Mejía said that Gutierrez Molina had gone out with colleagues “to an establishment in El Poblado,” and then the group had moved to a different location.
“Since that time, his whereabouts remain unknown,” Mejía said. “Consequently, the protocol for searching for missing persons was activated immediately.”
Mejía said Colombian officials are coordinating with the U.S. Embassy and Gutierrez Molina’s family, including his father.
“We will remain on the ground, working tirelessly and without pause, until we find him — hopefully very soon — so that he may be reunited with his family,” Mejía said.
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.
A spokesperson for the Association of Professional Flight Attendants also told CBS News in a statement that it was “supporting all efforts to locate the missing crew member.”
