American Airlines flight attendant vanishes during Colombia layover: 'His family is desperate'

Alejandro Murcia, an elected representative for Colombians abroad, posted a heartbreaking call for help on social media following Gutierrez Molina's disappearance.

"Eric Fernando Gutiérrez Molina, a U.S. citizen and flight attendant for @AmericanAir, is missing in Medellin," Murcia wrote in an X post. "Let's help spread this post to find him. His family is desperate."

Murcia also tagged the official X account of the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia, which has not yet commented on the disappearance.

It is unclear if foul play was involved.

American Airlines told Fox News Digital it is "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."
