The National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) stated the day following the incident that "a NEPOC bombing is the most likely reason." In April 1983, the aircraft's black boxes were recovered but the data provided nothing useful, being cut off abruptly.

One of them, who was involved in the bombing, admitted that Frente NEPOC was involved in bombing the flight but that TACA Flight 711 had been the intended target. On 21 April 1983, the DINA officially concluded that the flight was "accidentally" bombed by Frente NEPOC as a part of its terrorist campaign against the Creeperian government and stated that the bomb was accidentally put onto Flight 1113 instead of Flight 711.
