    Digital Desk: A 51-year-old woman's romantic quest ended tragically after she flew from Mexico to Peru to meet a new man she had met online. The woman who travelled over 3,000 miles to Peru to meet her online boyfriend in person was murdered, dissected, and her organs removed, according to The Independent. On November 9, a local fisherman found her mutilated body floating in the water on Huacho beach.


    The victim, Blanca Arellano, told her family at the end of July that she was going to Lima, Peru, to meet Juan Pablo Jesus Villafuerte, 37, a man she met online a few months ago. This individual lives in the coastal city of Huacho. The family lost contact with Arellano on November 7.


    Blanca spoke to her niece Karla Arellano on November 7 and told her that the relationship was "going well" and that she was "in love," according to News Corp Australia.


    After that, no one ever heard from the woman again. After two weeks with no word from Blanca, her niece issued a frantic Twitter appeal for help finding her.


    "I never thought I would be in this situation, and today I ask for support and dissemination to locate one of the most loved and important people in my life," Karla wrote in a Twitter post, which has been roughly translated into English. 


    The local police immediately opened an investigation into Arellano's whereabouts until the victim's body was found. The police are currently investigating the case and attempting to identify the suspect.
