A Colombian content creator and model, 36-year-old Natalia Villalba, was found dead on 21 June 2026 in a rented Airbnb flat in the upscale Chicó Norte area of Bogotá, her body shoved into a suitcase and left under a running shower, according to Colombian authorities.
The case has rapidly grown into a high-profile international investigation, not only because of the brutal way Villalba died, but also because the main suspect is a British man with a criminal record who allegedly fled the country before her body was discovered. Her death has been treated by Colombian prosecutors as a suspected femicide and has triggered a cross-border manhunt that ended, at least for now, in neighbouring Ecuador.
