U.S. State Dept. Issues Safety Warning in Colombia
The U.S. State Department has recently issued a safety warning following a string of suspicious deaths in Colombia. Between November and December 2023, eight Americans died under suspicious circumstances in Medellin. These deaths have been categorized as either homicides or “involuntary” drug overdoses. While the deaths are not believed to be directly linked, several of them point to a common factor: the use of online dating apps. Criminals have been using these apps to lure tourists and visitors into public places, such as hotels, restaurants, and bars. These places are typically considered safe in other parts of the world, but unfortunately, several U.S. citizens have fallen victim to assaults, robberies, and even murders by the people they had arranged to meet for a date.
