Taxi Driver Cleared, but Mystery Remains in Singer Janet Gomez's Disappearance

The disappearance of singer Janet Gomez in Tacna, Peru, has captivated the nation. Initially, suspicion fell on the taxi driver who last saw her, Edgar Chipana Chipana. However, security footage has since emerged showing Gomez boarding a bus to Lima. "We were all furious with the taxi driver," said Gomez’s aunt, speaking to the camera. "Everyone thought he was responsible." The footage, released by authorities, shows Gomez purchasing a ticket and boarding the bus alone. This evidence has led to the taxi driver's exoneration, but the investigation continues. The aunt also confirmed that the family has been in communication with Gomez via WhatsApp, but contact has since ceased. This development brings a measure of relief, while the ongoing uncertainty about Gomez's whereabouts remains a cause for concern. The regional government of Tacna has expressed condolences for the recent passing of Gomez’s grandmother, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
