Online dating is a popular way for individuals to find romantic partners successfully. However, women take a major risk when they choose to fly across the globe to meet their lovers face-to-face.

Blanca Arellano, a 51-year-old woman, flew 3,000 miles to Peru to meet 31-year-old to meet Juan Pablo Jesús Villafuerte, a medical student with whom she formed a lengthy relationship online, only to be found dead.Screenshot via YouTube/El Universal

According to New York Post, after informing her family in July about her trip to pursue a romantic relationship with Villafuerte, Arellano cut off communication on Nov. 7 and was reported missing on Nov. 12. Unfortunately, her remains were later found washed up on a beach.

Karla Arellano reported her missing aunt on Twitter with the words, “I never thought I would be in this situation, but today I’m asking for your support to spread this post and find one of the most loved and important people of my life.”

“My aunt Blanca Olivia Arellano Gutiérrez disappeared on Monday November 07 in Peru. We fear for her life,” she added.
