This is the first I've heard he shared his location at an Airbnb. Sounds like it was after he left the bar but hard to say for sure. His cell phone was found later in that same neighborhood.

The one thing that stuck out for me being a former airline crewmember (pilot) was the article linked that stated that he had a flight out on Sunday morning. But American Airlines hasn't confirmed his schedule. I can't see him intentionally staying out in the wee hours to party if he had a morning show time, he would have needed to get some rest before reporting for duty. I know we would stay out late sometimes if we were at a restaurant/bar open late IF we didn't report to work until late in the next day, but everyone kind of knew to make it a short night if you had a morning shift.

That makes the drugging seem much more plausible.

It sounds similar to what happened to a model and her friend in L.A.

Two people out for the evening, they accept an invitation to continue the party at a private home, they are drugged, one survives, one overdoses ... ??

Caso de Eric Gutiérrez: confirman muerte de auxiliar de vuelo de Dallas desaparecido en Colombia

According to information confirmed by the police, the discovery was made around noon in the Cauca district, a rural area of the municipality of Jericó, located approximately 110 kilometers from Medellín. The body, which belongs to a man, was found in a state of decomposition and, so far, showed no visible stab wounds or gunshot wounds. Authorities emphasize that, for now, the body remains unidentified.

The initial report came from the police in Jericó. The station commander indicated that residents of the Puente Iglesias district alerted them to “a possible lifeless body in the waters of the Río Piedra stream, about an hour from the town center.” Because the municipality does not have a morgue with the capacity to handle such procedures, the body was initially taken to the morgue at the local hospital in Jericó and will later be transferred to Medellín for formal identification.


Authorities indicated that the investigation, led by the Police and the Prosecutor's Office, is making significant progress and already has clear leads on those possibly responsible for the incident.
