Ana María Castro’s cell phone is gaining importance in the investigation.
The two calls to Ana María
Paul says Julian got into the Kia truck and they drove safely to his apartment.
And here are two pieces of information that have caught the attention of researchers. In the entire statement, made on March 18, the young woman is mentioned as Ana María Romero and not as Ana María Castro.

However, a guard from Julián’s group said that he heard when Paul told his friend: ‘That’s where that girl’s cell phone stayed.’ And then, in an interview with EL TIEMPO, his lawyer admitted that the cell phone had been left in Paul’s car and that it had been lost. Why then was he calling her if he knew the cell phone was in the Kia?
They both went to ‘Heaven’
In addition to the calls to Ana María, Paul assures that they arrived at Julián’s apartment and asked for a bottle of orange vodka at home.
“I made a video call with a friend on WhatsApp, showing them where I was. And I also spoke with other friends on WhatsApp, finally I invited a friend to Julián’s apartment,” Paul said in his complaint.

And add: “She arrived and we took the bottle she had asked for. My friend told me that she wanted us to go to a place that she knew called ‘Heaven’, which is a sunrise. We asked for a beat and we went with my friend to the street 63 with Caracas, to the establishment ‘Cielo’. When we arrived, I had no money and my friend Julián did not have to pay the Beat either. However, I went up with my friend, I went to the site to see how she was, when we got down at 10 minutes my friend Julian was gone. Apparently, he had gone home “.
What happened to Julian?
Paul claimed in the complaint that he asked his friend to call a Beat service and went to Julián’s apartment to pick up the Kia. but the guard did not want to give it to him because he told him that he did not know him.

“I called Julian on several occasions to let me get the car out: on one of them he answered me, he told me that he was already getting off, but he never got off,” said Paul. And he added that he contacted the person who lives in the same place and he told him that Julian had fallen asleep and that she could not help him get the Kia out.
He says that after a while he gave up and sent his mother the photo of the address where he was, told her that Julián had turned off his cell phone and went home.
He assured that he went to bed to sleep and that he woke up at noon on that same March 5 and saw a message on Facebook in which a friend of Ana María asked her if she was still with Ana María: “I answered no (… ) and after a while he wrote to me and told me that they had found Ana María beaten and dead. “

According to Paul, the threats against him through social networks began.
While the defense of Paul and Julián are sure that there was no femicide and that they will be able to prove it, the Prosecutor’s Office will use all these elements to insist that Ana María was murdered and that both young people must respond to justice.
