Cartel Tracked Down, Executed Model with Instagram Food Post Clue

A beautiful Ecuadorian model tragically lost her life in a brazen daylight murder orchestrated by cartel hitmen, who traced her through a food picture she posted on Instagram. This shocking incident is a stark reminder of the danger posed by unchecked criminal organizations and a sobering testament to the imperfections of our digital age.

The young model, Landy Párraga Goyburo, was only 23 years old when she was shot dead in a restaurant in Quevedo, Ecuador. The horrific crime was captured on CCTV, revealing the moment a masked gunman stormed into the restaurant to execute the fatal act.

Another man was seen securing the front door, effectively blocking any chance of escape. After shooting the model thrice, both men fled, leaving Goyburo in a pool of her own blood.

The investigators believe the order for this cold-blooded killing came from the wife of a drug lord, reputed to have had an affair with Goyburo. The connection between the model and this underworld figure was hinted at in a text message exchange between the now-deceased drug trafficker Leandro Norero and his accountant, Helive Angulo.

In a chilling message, Norero allegedly told his attorney:
“If my wife comes across anything about her, I’m screwed. My friend, her name cannot come out anywhere. Otherwise, my world will come crashing down.”

Although the Attorney General’s Office was investigating Goyburo’s finances, she was never charged with any crime. Norero was later arrested and died in prison only six months into his sentence. Goyburo, on her part, never publicly acknowledged Norero or his suspected criminal enterprise.

The fatal link between Goyburo and her assassins was an innocuous food image she shared on Instagram. The model, who had a following of over 175,000 on her Instagram page, posted a picture of octopus ceviche. Ecuadorian investigators believe this photo tipped off the hitmen about her location.

At the time of the incident, Goyburo was in Quevedo to attend a wedding. Her beauty and charisma had won her a place in the 2022 Miss Ecuador beauty contest, where she represented the Los Rios province.

Her last Instagram post profoundly echoes the tragic irony of her fate. She wrote:
“The world is an echo, what you send into it, you get out of it.”

This devastating incident underscores the potential dangers hidden within our digital footprints. It’s a sobering reminder that while social media can connect us, it can also make us vulnerable in ways we could never imagine.
