Police Probe Disappearance of Trujillo Businessman After Leaving Home to Collect Payment

Investigators are reviewing CCTV following a witness report of a planned trip to the sierra.

Overview

  • Jorge Gaspar Santisteban Ganoza, 50, left his home in Víctor Larco Herrera on December 8 to collect a payment and has not been heard from since.
  • The National Police opened the case through Depincri Centro and the missing-persons division, and Major PNP Leiva said officers have retrieved local security-camera footage.
  • Police state the case is a disappearance rather than a kidnapping as investigative steps continue.
  • A witness told authorities he planned to travel to the sierra, and his wife was told he might return on December 9 or 10, a lead that remains unconfirmed.
  • Relatives circulated his description—gray shirt, blue jeans, gray sneakers; slim, about 1.70 m—and asked the public to share information via the 114 hotline.
