Still no sign of Texas Tech grad missing in Peru

There is still no sign of 35-year-old Carla Valpeoz, as her family continues to desperately search for answers. Carlos Valpeoz, Carla’s brother, said his family just wants answers about what happened to Carla.

“We're at day 36 now since she disappeared and we have no idea what happened to her, absolutely no idea and it's extremely frustrating, we believe that my family deserves answers,” Valpeoz said.

He said so far there’s been an extensive search of the Archeological park north of Pisac where Carla was believed to have entered on Dec. 12. “We now have supporting evidence, witness statements that suggest she had never entered the park,” Valpeoz said.

He said she was there for a wedding and then continued traveling the country with a tour group who helped her hike up Machu Picchu. After that, he said she wanted to continue touring Peru and ventured off by herself. He confirmed the last time she was seen was on security footage in Pisac.

“Based on the extensive search of that region, we don't believe that she got lost, my family believes she may have been a victim of a crime here,” Valpeoz said.

Her father is still in Cuzco searching for her, but Valpeoz said there haven't been any leads in the case. “They haven't found anything not a shoelace, nothing and so at this point we have reason to believe this should be addressed as a criminal investigation and we are pursuing that possibility,” Valpeoz said.

Oh, how frustrating that they spent all this time and effort searching the park just to find out she likely never entered the park! Time they could have searched elsewhere. I feel so bad for her family. It has to be very frustrating to many of her family and friends who would love to help search, but can’t afford a trip to Peru just to do so. I hate when people go missing outside of the country. It’s so much harder for the family to travel and search. I’m keeping an open mind that she could have had some freak accidental fall into something nobody would think to check, but it does look like something nefarious is more likely. All JMO, of course.

Nothing much new. He is very concerned about the lack of progress in the investigation so far. He thinks there are people who know about the whereabouts of Carla but do not say so out of fear .

Carla's father should connect with Jesse Galganov's mother. He went missing in Huarez in Sep 2017, and has still not been found. AFAIR Jesse's mother enlisted the help of various organisations to search for him. She might have useful advice for Carla's family.

You know who else might be helpful is Beth Holloway. If you ever read her book (“Loving Natalee”), you’ll remember all the challenges she spoke of re: the international investigational aspects. She has much advice about this. She is also really good friends with Tim Miller as he went to Aruba to look for Natalee. I know that TES assists overseas, I wonder if Tim and company can be of help too. I’d like to get word to Tim, let me see what I can do. On it now.

Well, continuing from the above post, I multiquoted everybody’s media links and facts here to make one letter for Tim and Beth then got this message when hit post LOL:

"Up to date we have no concrete answers of what has happened to my friend, and principally, her family, myself and my friends in Peru have done most of the investigative work," Garcia Steele said.

Her family was able to obtain video of Valpeoz walking with her green backpack past a drug store in the village of Pisac. They believe the video is from Dec. 12. There hasn't been any sign of Valpeoz since.

There are three petitions Valpeoz's friends and families are asking members of the community to sign to support the search efforts.

Family seeks help finding woman who's been missing nearly 100 days in Peru

[...]

Carla’s brother Carlos Valpeoz says their father has been in Peru since the days after she was reported missing on Dec. 15 in Lima, and the funds from the fundraiser will be used to support his investigative efforts into Carla’s disappearance.

“We honestly believe that if my father leaves that country, then this investigation is going to end very abruptly and it will most likely turn into a cold case,” Carlos said.

[...]

“We don't have evidence that shows my sister entering the park. Throughout the entire investigation that has been the biggest question, whether she went in or not,” Carlos said.

Carlos tells 7 Action News that the family has been able to confirm some witness accounts of Carla in Pisac, but need assistance from the United States Government to find her.

“We’ve uncovered a lot of nefarious activities in the sacred valley.

Family of legally blind Detroit woman missing in Peru turns to US government for help

The U.S. governement hasn't been able to help because the Peruvian government hasn't asked for help with the investigation.

Which is what United States citizens should keep in mind when they travel. And this includes cruise ships. Almost no cruise chips are registered in the United States.

A whole different set of laws and rules.

 

[StarEyes]

This case is always on my mind. Due to the fact that I share her disability, it’s impossible not to identify a bit. I do so hope they find her soon. I feel so badly for her family.
