NBI probes possible doppelganger in Alice Guo case

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is probing the use of a possible doppelganger to mislead authorities in the search for former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.

Catherine Salazar, an aide, appeared before the NBI and is accused of deliberately misleading investigators.

Investigators are examining if Salazar appeared in Guo's place for the notarization of her counter-affidavit, despite Guo allegedly being abroad.

During a previous encounter in Indonesia, Guo identified the woman in a photo shown by NBI Assistant Director Atty. Lito Magno as an employee, denying it was her.

The NBI believes Guo's claim of not receiving assistance to leave the country is false, with several individuals identified as helpers.

There are indications that Guo's brother, Wesley, wishes to surrender and is awaiting his sister.
