Angélica Gaitán’s family had been desperate for two years to find the 46-year-old woman whose whereabouts were unknown until, this Saturday, two fishermen came face to face with the woman floating in the sea, eyes closed and so cold that I could barely tell. a word. The two men recorded the moment of discovery. Angelica was so frail and cold that she could barely respond to the two fishermen who found her two kilometers from the beach in Puerto Colombia, Colombia.
Rolando Visbal, one of the fishermen, interrogated the woman initially in Spanish and then in English to make sure the woman understood.
Angelica did not respond and the two men led her to their boat. According to the Colombian newspaper Freedom, the woman could not answer, but it was she herself who made a call for help for the two fishermen to see her. Angelica is rescued and cries when they give her water to drink.
According to Colombian media reports, Angélica later said: “I was born again, God did not want me to die.”
What happened to the woman in the last two years remains a mystery that is being investigated by authorities.
Angelica revealed to the radio RCN who was a victim of domestic violence 20 years ago and tried to escape so that her husband would not kill her.
“For 20 years I had a toxic relationship, I was raped by my ex-husband. The abuse began in the first pregnancy, he beat me and violently assaulted me, in my second pregnancy the abuse continued and I could not escape because the girls were small,” he reports.
“Many times I denounced him, but the police took him away and 24 hours later he was back in the house,” he said.
In September 2018, when the family no longer knew her whereabouts, Angélica fled after being violently attacked. The woman assures that she lived in a difficult situation for six months in Barranquilla and was later transferred to a shelter for the most needy. That’s when, she says, she fell into a deep depression.
“I didn’t want to go on with my life. A lady gave me tickets and took a direct bus to the sea,” she said, assuming that her husband kept her away from any help from family or friends she could turn to.
The woman assumes that she remembers being on the beach and entering the water. “I got carried away and waited for this nightmare to end.” From there, Angelica says she doesn’t remember much.
The daughters of this woman, meanwhile identified, guarantee that Angelica is not telling the truth about the abuse she suffered. Now they hope to see their mother again when she is transferred to the Colombian capital, Bogotá.
