American Airlines Flight Attendant's Death Investigated

Dozens of American Airlines workers lined up on the tarmac at Dallas-Fort Worth International

Airport on April 1 to pay tribute to 32-year-old flight attendant Eric Fernando Gutierrez Molina.

The North Texas resident vanished during a layover in Medellín, Colombia, and his body

was just returned home as the investigation into his death continues.

He was last seen on March 21, out with a fellow flight attendant in the tourist heavy

El Poblato neighborhood. Gutierrez Molina, a U.S. citizen, missed his next flight to Miami,

raising alarms with family and colleagues right away.

Airlines staff gathered in a quiet show of respect while American Airlines called the

loss heartbreaking in messages to employees.

They described him as a dear colleague and said they're still teaming up with Colombian

officials on the case.

Authorities found a body believed to be his between the towns of Jericho and Puente Iglesias.

Virginians may or noted a very high probability it matches, though formal ID is pending, and

the woman he was with that night told friends she couldn't.

Recall parts of the evening.

As details emerge, the focus stays on supporting his loved ones and getting answers from this

ongoing probe.
