Medellín has a dating safety problem.
The U.S. State Department recorded at least 8 suspicious deaths of American citizens in Medellín in 2023, many linked to dating-app meetups. Scopolamine druggings, kidnappings, and robberies tied to dating apps remain common enough that the State Department continues to issue specific travel warnings.
