Natalia’s Ghost Trail: A Disappearance Without a Trace

The ghost passage of Natalia: seven months later: The disappearance of Natalia Hitrago Moreno in Cartagena, Colombia

Cartagena, August 18, 2021. A 21-year-old woman enters a gastrobar accompanied by a man. Hours later, he boards a flight to Bogotá. Seven months later, a plane ticket is issued in her name to travel to Mexico. Natalia was never found.

In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding the disappearance: a trip announced "with friends" that occurred with a man linked to drug trafficking, fraudulent tickets issued under her identity months later, and an investigation that remains in "inquiry stage" without public answers. What happened in Cartagena on August 18, and who continued using Natalia's identity afterward?

Victim: Natalia Hitrago Moreno
Date: August 18, 2021
Location: Cartagena, Colombia
Status: Missing

- The last eyewitness was a waitress who identified Natalia by her tattoo on her right shoulder, accompanied by a man whose profile matches Hernán Darío Jiménez.
- A Bogotá-Mexico plane ticket was issued in Natalia's name seven months after her disappearance, but Migración Colombia does not confirm actual departure.
- Hernán Darío Jiménez, her partner of five years with a documented history of extreme violence, was captured in Mexico City in December 2022 in a drug trafficking operation.
- Internal tickets in Natalia's name for Medellín, Bogotá, Pereira, and Cali were found among materials seized from Hernán, suggesting planned movement under a fraudulent identity.
