New details of the case of Bogota citizens found dead in El Rodadero: the woman was investigated for the strange disappearance of her own mother
Two individuals, Sonia Imelda Pilonieta Tapias (53) and her son Benjamín Bautista Pilonieta (22), were found dead in an apartment in El Rodadero, Santa Marta. Their deaths have added new complexity to the case, as their sister Margarita Pilonieta revealed that Sonia was under investigation for the mysterious disappearance of her own mother, Sonia María Tapias de Pilonieta, which occurred over a year ago and remains unsolved. Margarita claims she learned of the deaths through the media and has been trying to understand the tragedy, which has reignited a family conflict. She alleges that Sonia had taken her mother into her care, claimed she had died, and cremated her without providing evidence or documentation. The family continues to seek answers, but the investigation into Sonia’s mother’s disappearance has yielded little progress.

María Camila Potosí Gómez, una mujer de 21 años embarazada de ocho meses, fue reportada como desaparecida el 16 de julio de 2026. Fue vista por última vez en el sector Polvorines de Cali como parrillera a bordo de una motocicleta. Tras cuatro días de búsqueda, su cuerpo fue encontrado el 20 de julio cerca del río Meléndez, en un estado de avanzada descomposición, envuelto en sábanas y atado. Las autoridades indicaron que el cuerpo mostraba signos de tortura y lesiones posiblemente causadas por un arma cortopunzante. El CTI de la Fiscalía General de la Nación está realizando análisis forenses para confirmar su identidad. El mayor Alirio Acuña destacó que las características físicas y la ropa coinciden con el perfil descrito. La Personería Distrital de Cali condenó el crimen como 'de extrema gravedad' y exigió justicia.
