The mother of Ecuadorian Saraí Llanos Gómez, 19, confirmed to a media outlet that a representative of the Foreign Ministry notified her that her body was found.
Llanos had been missing since June 14 following refusing to accept a job as a sex worker that a friend suggested in Atlanta, United States. The Guayaquil native had arrived in that country less than a year ago and worked as a waitress before discovering the new job in the town to which she had been tricked.
