Due to technical failures in the audio system, the hearing to begin the intermediate stage of the cattle rustling charges in the disappearance of Floridalma Roque was suspended on Thursday, July 11.
The hearing has been rescheduled for August 21 in this case involving surgeon Kevin Malouf.
Floridalma Roque disappeared on June 13, 2023 following entering Dr. Kevin Malouf’s clinic for cosmetic surgery.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP) is investigating what happened and has videos, chats, calls and testimonies that might provide clues regarding the case.
Roque traveled from the United States and arrived at the clinic for an operation on his face and eyelids, with departure scheduled for the following day.
However, her family lost contact with Floridalma and it was then that they reported the incident. Their main demand to the MP and the National Civil Police (PNC) was to speed up the search and an Isabel-Claudina alert was activated.

According to the investigation, there was no trace of the patient. The last record on her credit card was precisely the payment for the surgery.
Almost a year following her disappearance, the Prosecutor’s Office exhumed human remains on a farm in Escuintla that might be those of Floridalma Roque.
