The woman was allegedly abducted in the Guanteros sector, near the Envigado Park, in broad daylight, while I was going to work in a dental office. After two days of intense research, the twenty-eight-year-old young woman found herself alive on the Our Lady of Remedies Clinic of the capital of Cauca Valley.

She is a little swollen and in poor health, they are going to do some medical examinations. The doctor at the hospital contacted us and saw the presence of Juliana in the said hospital”.

On the other hand, Juliana’s father wondered how his daughter had arrived at the capital of the Valley, from so far away and for what reason: “Under the effects of a sedative or narcotic, What do I know The authorities or the clinic will know under what effects he appeared, but he appeared in Cali, in another department of this country. How can this happen?” mentioned in the previously mentioned media.
