Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER here to tell you all about a mystery that has recently spooked Ecuador, the case of María Belén Bernal.
Bernal was an Ecuadorian lawyer who went missing on September 2022 after she went to visit her husband in Quito who was working at Gral. Alberto Enríquez Gallo Police Academy. On September 11th, 2022, she had been delivering a burger to him and was not seen afterward. Her husband was released on September 13th, 2022 after being asked questions regarding his wife’s disappearance. He had driven off in a BMW motorcycle that his wife had purchased for him. However, he soon also went missing.
Ten days later, Bernal’s body was found near the slopes of a dormant volcano Casitahua. Her husband still has not been found to this day and there was a reward for his whereabouts.
