Tracking Down Diaz’s Father: Update on the Kidnapping
Continues the Vigorous Search for Luis Diaz’s Father
The father of Liverpool’s star winger, Luis Diaz, is still missing from Colombia, which is a worrying development after a traumatic kidnapping. There’s a growing assumption that the culprits have been identified, and the Colombian authorities have not wavered in their attempts, maintaining that Mr. Diaz is still inside the country’s borders.
The Kidnapping in Barrancas
The disturbing incident occurred over the weekend in the town of Barrancas when armed persons on motorbikes forcibly abducted Luis Manuel Diaz and his wife Cilenis Marulanda. Since then, the police have found Marulanda, but the search for Diaz’s father is getting more intense, and a widespread rescue effort is underway throughout Colombia.
The Hunt Intensifies
El Tiempo intelligence investigations have determined that Mr. Diaz is most likely near the Perija highlands, which are covered in forests, allaying previous worries that he would be transported into Venezuela. A plane equipped with heat-detection capabilities and a Black Hawk chopper have been sent in addition to over 230 specialized police and military personnel as the search has intensified.
The Hunt Intensifies
General Alejandro Zapata, the deputy director of the Colombian National Police, has stated that the investigation has advanced significantly. Security video has helped identify a number of people who may have been involved in the kidnapping. The elite Gaula squad and the Intelligence and Judicial Police are doing continuing analysis to help the authorities determine whether this crime was premeditated.
The Hunt Intensifies
The Colombian community has taken to the streets in a moving show of support, calling for Diaz’s father to return safely. A sea of people wearing white clothing, including Diaz’s mother, participated in a peaceful march to demand his release. The event was organized by Diaz’s family and friends and was inspired by social media.
Clues Emerge Amidst the Search
The 26-year-old Diaz is anticipated to stay in England despite the turbulence, following advice over his safety. Gera Ponce, the footballer’s partner, has been crucial in mobilizing support by posting a call to action for the community’s sit-in at Boulevard Buenavista and reflecting everyone’s desire for an end to this traumatic experience.
