The Scopolamine Queen: Maria Alejandra Salgado Ortega

Maria Alejandra Salgado Ortega, known infamously as the “Scopolamine Queen,” had terrorized tourists in Medellin and other Colombian cities for years. Using scopolamine or similar sedatives, she drugged unsuspecting victims, robbing them of their belongings without any concern for their wellbeing. Her audacity allowed her to sneak in and out of apartments with impunity, leaving victims dazed, confused, and vulnerable.

However, Maria’s luck ran out when she crossed paths with Fritz, a man whose determination would change her fate forever.

Fritz’s Story: From Heartbreak to Danger

Fritz, a successful real estate entrepreneur from the Midwest, had recently endured a painful breakup and financial loss. After his girlfriend of nine years left him and took half of his assets—including a fitness center, a hotel, and log cabins—Fritz found himself lonely and stuck in a remote area with little nightlife.

In search of a fresh start and perhaps love, Fritz was drawn to Medellin, Colombia, often touted on social media as a dream destination for single men. Despite warnings about the dangers of scopolamine, he felt immune to such threats, believing criminals would target easier victims.

The Dangerous Encounter in Medellin

After arriving in Medellin with friends, Fritz decided to stay behind when they returned to the U.S. He connected on Bumble with a woman using a fake name—Maria. Despite initial red flags, including Maria repeatedly postponing their meeting until 3 a.m., Fritz agreed to meet her in the Provenza area.

Upon meeting, Fritz noticed Maria’s face was heavily altered by plastic surgery, unlike the photos online, but he proceeded with caution. They wandered looking for open bars, but most were closed, so Maria suggested going back to Fritz’s apartment.

The Drugging and Robbery

Back at his apartment, Maria asked for a drink and was given some stale Coca-Cola. Fritz suspected Maria laced his drink with a sedative, likely clonazepam, despite repeatedly refusing to drink it. Maria forcibly poured the drink into his mouth, and Fritz began to feel suspicious.

He allowed Maria to give him a massage, hoping to make sense of the situation, but soon he blacked out. Fifteen hours later, Fritz awoke in a fog, disoriented and missing his phone, computer, money, and passport.

Aftermath: Financial and Emotional Toll

Maria and her accomplices exploited Fritz’s stolen information to drain thousands of dollars from his Venmo and Cash App accounts. Feeling violated and defeated, Fritz returned to the U.S. But anger and a thirst for justice propelled him back to Colombia within weeks, determined to find Maria.

The Hunt Begins: Teaming Up for Justice

Fritz partnered with his friend Arthur and the Obi Land team to devise a plan to catch Maria. Arthur acted as bait, contacting Maria and arranging a meeting in Parque de Hieras, Poblado, with police on standby. However, Maria never showed, likely opting to target easier victims.

Despite this setback, Fritz remained vigilant, frequently out in Medellin, confident he would encounter Maria again. By sheer coincidence, on a Saturday night, he spotted her in Provenza with another victim. He attempted to restrain her, but no police were nearby, and bystanders refused to assist. During the struggle, Maria threw the drug evidence into a nearby stream, eliminating the crucial proof.

Police Involvement and Frustrations

Police eventually arrived, but due to lack of immediate evidence and Maria’s protests of innocence, they had to release her. Fritz felt the system failed him, but he didn’t give up. Obi Land’s investigative team joined the effort, working with trusted contacts within the Sahin police special forces to gather intel and build a case against Maria.

The Elusive Criminal: Reconnaissance and Sting Attempts

Despite knowing Maria’s address, the team found her elusive—she was rarely home, and their surveillance efforts often ended in frustration. When a match with Maria was found in Bogota, Fritz flew there immediately, coordinating with security agents to plan a sting operation at an upscale restaurant.

Unfortunately, Maria once again vanished at the last moment, leaving the team frustrated but undeterred.

Final Sting and Arrest

Months later, Obi Land’s team set up a final operation with police on standby. This time, Maria was caught red-handed when she arrived with accomplices at an apartment. Although the accomplices weren’t Maria, the sting operation helped build a stronger case.

On March 18, 2025, Maria was arrested and read her rights. Unedited footage showed her protesting innocence with the same phrases she used when Fritz first detained her. Despite earlier setbacks, this arrest marked a turning point.

Justice Served: The Aftermath

Ten days after her arrest, Maria was publicly paraded alongside other women dubbed “Las Barbis,” a group accused of similar crimes. The media portrayed this as a victory for Medellin’s police, with Maria facing three to five years in prison.

Although her attorney claimed the case was a media stunt, Fritz and the Obi Land team celebrated the rare success of Colombia’s justice system working effectively. As of July 2025, Maria remains incarcerated.

Reflections and Final Thoughts

Fritz’s relentless pursuit of justice serves as a warning and inspiration. He admits holding grudges and feeling deeply violated, but his determination led to Maria’s downfall. The Obi Land team praises Fritz for his unwavering resolve, noting that his chance encounter and subsequent actions rekindled the investigation that finally put an end to Maria’s reign of terror.

Fritz: “In the end, I got my own justice, and I physically caught the bitch.”
