Bogotá, Colombia — Angie Xiomara Valencia’s name once echoed across social media as that of a vibrant, ambitious young woman full of dreams. But her story took a tragic turn that has left the nation in shock. Behind this heartbreaking tale stands a man many now see as the embodiment of horror and betrayal: Víctor Cardona, accused of committing the unthinkable against Angie.
At just 24 years old, Angie was a university student with a passion for art and cooking, sharing her life openly with a devoted online following. For some time, she had been involved with Víctor Cardona — a man twelve years her senior who appeared outwardly stable and “kind” to those around her. Yet, beneath this facade lurked a disturbing reality.
Friends close to Angie reveal troubling signs she began to exhibit: growing isolation, anxiety, and a perpetual state of unease. “She told us he was jealous, that he didn’t like her talking to others, that he constantly checked her phone. Still, she said she loved him deeply… and kept going back,” shared one friend, who requested to remain anonymous.
Last Sunday, tragedy struck. Angie was found lifeless in the northern Bogotá apartment she shared with Víctor. Her body bore clear signs of physical abuse and asphyxiation — a brutal scene that stunned authorities. Meanwhile, Cardona vanished, fleeing the very place where darkness shattered a young life.
