Remains of TikTok star are found in Peru
The remains of Fabiola Alejandra Caicedo Pina have been identified through her distinctive tattoos after being discovered in Peru. The TikTok star was located while workers were conducting a routine inspection of the La Atarjea plant, reported InfoBae, an Argentinian outlet. She had been dismembered and was discovered at the treatment plant in Lima, Peru on June 9. Pieces of Caicedo's body were found in bags outside the plant. Caicedo posted her last TikTok on June 5 and she had a tattoo on her arm which included the phrase, 'Love me for who I am' in English. Another tattoo with the words 'Paula Sophia' was found on her torso. On June 15, more bodily remains were found. As of June 19, some body parts were still missing. Authorities are unsure what caused her death although strangulation is suspected. Two main theories are circulating among police about who could be behind Caicedo's murder. One theory is that the woman was caught up in Peru's human trafficking trade. In recent weeks, multiple young women have been found dead in the Lima area or in the Rimac River, some of them zipped up into suitcases. Police also believe that Caicedo could have been killed by people who wanted revenge for the death of her ex-boyfriend, who died in 2022 under mysterious circumstances. In 2022, Caicedo left her home country of Venezuela at just 16 years old. She was accompanied by her then-boyfriend, Mayner Yoffrey Gimenez Castrillo, who was 21 years older than her. Castrillo died months after the two moved to Lima together, which led to his family suspecting that Caicedo was involved somehow. Various family members publicly accused Caicedo, then a minor, of conspiring with a new romantic partner to kill Castrillo. Police first believed that Castrillo was beaten to death but now think it could have been a suicide. The case remains open three years later. Caicedo has never been formally investigated for her ex-boyfriend's death and continued her lifestyle of working at nightclubs and bars. Police suspect that on the night before Caicedo's death, she was lured away from a party under false pretenses. Cigarette burns on her feet and legs have led police to believe that she may have also been tortured. Her remains were thought to be dumped into the Rimac River, where they later ended up at the water treatment plant. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been named in Caicedo's murder.
