A police officer, PMaj. Alan De Castro, has been implicated in the disappearance of the beauty queen. In December 2023, the prime suspect, De Castro, failed to appear during the preliminary investigation concerning the kidnapping and illegal detention complaints filed against him. The ongoing case raises questions about the role of law enforcement in the alleged incident, adding a layer of complexity to the investigation into the disappearance of the beauty queen.
The upcoming hearing is scheduled for January 9, and on this significant day, Jeffrey Magpantay, the personal driver implicated in this case, has reportedly come forward. According to reports, Magpantay surrendered on January 9 at 11 in the morning, marking a crucial development in the ongoing investigation.
The two witnesses who asserted to have observed the transportation of Camilon’s body also alleged that it was Magpantay who intimidated them, brandishing a gun on that fateful night. Magpantay, the personal driver of P/Major Alan De Castro, the primary suspect in Camilon’s disappearance, is implicated in both the alleged threats and the mysterious events surrounding the beauty queen’s vanishing.
Despite the passage of time, the family of the beauty queen maintains a resilient sense of hope, holding onto the belief that she will return to them alive. The ordeal began in October 2023 when the beauty queen was first reported missing, and since then, the family has endured a prolonged and agonizing period of uncertainty. Their steadfast optimism amid the ongoing investigation reflects the strength of their bond and the desperate desire for a reunion with their missing loved one. As the search for answers continues, the family’s unwavering hope remains a poignant testament to the enduring resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
