Key Suspect Questioned in 2022 Disappearance After Victim’s iPhone Recovery

The family urges preventive detention for suboficial Edixon Córdova after prosecutors recovered the victim’s phone.

Overview

  • Prosecutors located Anthony Camizán’s iPhone 11, and a detained police officer, Mell Gibson Sancarranco Vega, is under investigation for real concealment and aggravated obstruction.
  • La República reports that Mell Gibson confessed in the presence of his lawyer that he received the phone from Edixon Córdova and later sold it, a fact he had not disclosed in earlier statements.
  • Córdova appeared at Piura’s criminal investigation division to give a statement, and according to the victim’s brother he denied involvement and shifted blame to his colleague.
  • Investigators traced the device by its IMEI to a young woman who said she bought it through Mell Gibson’s sister, linking the handset’s resale to police intermediaries.
  • The family filed complaints alleging obstruction, false statements and document falsification by five officers tied to the Canchaque station, and they are pressing prosecutors to seek preventive detention for Córdova.
