The entire city is reeling from the brutal murder of a 21-year-old pregnant woman, whose body was discovered next to a river, with her unborn baby missing. María Camila Potosí, eight months pregnant, was last seen riding on a motorcycle in Polvorines, a town in Cali, Colombia. She went missing on July 16 and her body was later found by the River Meléndez.
Tragically, María was stabbed to death and her baby was taken from her womb. The baby, named Alahia, was expected to be born in August, with a baby shower planned shortly before the devastating incident.
Authorities confirmed the identity of María’s remains, matching her physical features and clothing. She was last seen getting on a motorcycle with an unidentified woman, who remains unidentified at present.
María’s mother, Ana Rubi Gomez, is desperately seeking help to find her missing granddaughter. Carlos Rincón, a man who claimed to be the former boyfriend of the female suspect, denied any involvement in the crime and expressed shock over the events.
Following the discovery of María’s body, the Cali Ombudsman’s Office has called for a thorough investigation into her death and the immediate search for the missing infant. They emphasized the urgency of locating the baby and ensuring her safety.
As the investigation into María’s tragic death continues, authorities urge the public to provide any information that may aid in the case. Every effort is being made to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident and locate the missing newborn.
