Two women missing in Barranquilla as possible kidnapping is investigated

Sonia Margarita Sanjuan Peñaranda, 41, and Kelly Johana Acosta Restrepo, 43, disappeared on Friday, November 6, in northern Barranquilla.

--- The context --- The disappearance of two women in northern Barranquilla took a new turn with information about a Toyota TXL truck in which they allegedly travelled and with the possibility of a possible extortion kidnapping, a hypothesis that is not confirmed. --- The facts --- The women are Sonia Margarita Sanjuan Peñaranda, 41, and Kelly Johana Acosta Restrepo, 43, whose whereabouts are unknown since Friday, November 6. The case was disclosed through a search notice from the Metropolitan Police and is now reportedly under Gaula investigation, which is reconstructing their route. The first information placed them together in a vehicle at 8:54 in the morning, at Calle 86 and Carrera 53. Another published version says they boarded a Toyota TXL truck at around 8:00 at night that same day. The time difference is not clarified. Sonia Margarita Sanjuan Peñaranda was wearing a white blouse and black shorts. Kelly Johana Acosta Restrepo was wearing a beige blouse and trousers of the same colour, has a slim build, round face, white skin, straight dark brown hair and brown eyes. --- The positions --- Police keep the number 305 259 7446 for information and receive details at the Sijín, at Carrera 38 number 74-90. There is no official information on financial demands nor public elements to state a retention against their will. --- What remains unknown --- It is unknown whether the times are two different moments or whether one must be corrected. Nor was it specified who was driving or the destination. The Gaula would seek to verify the vehicle and the circumstances. --- Unanswered questions --- Do 8:54 in the morning and 8:00 at night correspond to two different moments? Who was driving the Toyota TXL truck and where was it heading? What did the Gaula verify about the vehicle? Is there any official element confirming a possible extortion kidnapping? --- EPM analysis --- The time gap is the centre of the case. Without clarifying it, Friday's sequence cannot be reconstructed, and the possible kidnapping must be treated as a line of investigation, not a proven fact, while descriptions and official channels are circulated. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, the urgent task is to protect the search without turning a hypothesis into a certainty, because the time difference remains unclarified and there is no official confirmation of financial demands or of anyone being held against their will. Every citizen tip verified by the Police and the Gaula can order Friday's sequence, confirm or rule out the truck lead and bring an answer closer for the families, who today have only partial versions and an investigation still open and developing.
