Mother assisted Colombia authorities in arresting four gang members who kidnapped and killed her 15-year-old daughter by disguising herself as a homeless person

A woman whose daughter was kidnapped and murdered in Colombia disguised herself as a homeless person to help authorities find the alleged killers of her oldest child. Nathalie Amaya revealed she changed her appearance in order to blend in with the other homeless people who were living in an abandoned building in the Bogotá neighborhood of San Bernardo and find the suspects who killed her daughter, 15-year-old Lynda Michelle Amaya, in December. The Colombian Attorney General’s Office announced Thursday morning the arrest of three men and a woman tied to a local gang known for terrorizing the neighborhood.
