Strange death of Ciro Castillo in the Colca valley

On April 4, 2011, a young university student disappeared in the Colca valley in strange
circumstances and he was found dead after more than 200 days after his
disappearance. Was this case a murder or an accident? The causes of his death are still
a mystery, but I believe that he was murdered.
Ciro traveled to the Arequipa Valley with his girlfriend Rosario Ponce to hike the tourist
Colca valley, but one day both disappeared. Rosario was rescued whit life after nine
days, however, Ciro was found six months after his disappearance was reported, a
lifeless body was found in a ravine of the Bomboya snowy; Three days later he was
rescued and taken to the city of Arequipa to corroborate his identity.
His death brings many doubts. Rosario could be the main culprit, because in the
interviews she had a mocking and contradictory attitude, also she didn’t attend to
testify when she was denounced by Ciro's father.
On the other hand, thirteen photos were deleted from Rosario's camera during the
days they were missing, what did she want to hide with these images? Also, In the
camera there were many photos of the couple that the experts determined that these
images had been taken by a third party. Was there a third person who accompanied
them?
So, Victor Cabrera was indicated as a suspect. Besides, he is the sentimental Rosario’s
ex-couple with whom they had a son, so it is believed that they had planned
everything to end Ciro's life, However, the report of the Institute of Medicine Legal
and Forensic Sciences determined that Ciro broke down, slipped and fell without the
intervention of third parties, but was it really an accident?
The brigade members of the international group “Los Topos de México” said that it
seems strange that Ciro has been barefoot and with only one shirt, taking into account
the intense cold that plagues the area. Even, they said it would be strange if it
appeared in that area, as it is a place where there isn’t road and where the whole site
is paved and unstable.
In conclusion, the truth about the strange death of the young university student Ciro
Castillo is still unknown. Many believe he was killed, others that it was an accident. In
my opinion , I think he was murdered, because I agree with the opinion of the Mexican
rescue brigade , who explained the strange circumstances in which they found him, so
it wouldn’t be an accident ,even I would dare to say that there are people involved in
this case like Rosario that can solve this mystery.
