She was discovered severely injured and in a coma several days after encountering a group of men who pretended to be producers, promising to transform the friends into celebrities.

Ivonne died in a Cairo hospital five days later on May 4, whilst Estefania made it back safely to the hotel.

Now, horrifying messages she sent to her parents in Colombia have emerged, tracking her realisation that she was in grave danger.

One chilling text referring to “The Serbian” said: “He’s scaring me.”

Another read: “They want to do something to me. They want to kidnap me.”

In a third she begged: “Please come with the police. Please come urgently.”

She also told her parents: “They don’t want to make us a band,” revealing that the men had lured the friends in with false promises.

Ivonne flew into Cairo on April 24, excited for the festival to mark her birthday.

Pictures and videos posted to her social media showed Ivonne enjoying herself in the sun.

The two women were reportedly invited to an after-party on April 27 by somebody called Jessi Morena, who they met at the festival.

All went smoothly and the pair partied the night away – until they met two unidentified men.

It was at this point that Ivonne sent out the distress signals.

Estefania ended up back at the room, unharmed, but without Ivonne.

Her family conveyed to Colombian media: “Neither her family nor her friends were aware of her disappearance until Tuesday, April 30, when Estefanía, her travel companion, reached out to us.”

After hearing of her disappearance, Ivonne’s friends and family made a series of frantic calls to Cairo hospitals to locate her.

In a conversation later shared by Ivonne’s relatives, Estefanía wrote: “She hasn’t woken up. They found her several days ago.

“She fell from a great height and I wasn’t there; she was with other people at the time.”

She died five days after her loved ones found her in hospital – never recovering consciousness.

Cairo police are quizzing Estefania, who apparently refused to tell Ivonne’s family what had happened to her.

They are also seeking a man called Jessi Escobar, a friend the women are said to have met locally, and the two men she introduced them to.

One relative, Alexandra Marin, told Colombian media: “We had a hard time finding the hospital due to language barriers and the lack of cooperation from the people involved.”

Ivonne’s family has launched a GoFundMe appeal to help them bring back her body and fund the legal expenses to investigate her death.
