Suspicions of police involvement and cell phone found: investigation into the disappearance of family in RS has progressed

The investigation into the Aguiar family's disappearance in Cachoeirinha, Brazil, is making progress as it has emerged that a military police officer may be involved, prompting collaboration with internal affairs.

The Aguiar family, consisting of Silvana Germann de Aguiar, aged 48, and her parents Isail Vieira de Aguiar, aged 69, and Dalmira Germann de Aguiar, aged 70, has been missing for 15 days from Cachoeirinha in the Greater Porto Alegre area. The local Civil Police continue their efforts to find the family, following leads and gathering evidence. Recent developments include the involvement of the military police's internal affairs, indicating potential police wrongdoing in the case, although the specific officer and their role have not been disclosed to the public.

The internal affairs division, responsible for overseeing the conduct of military police and investigating any potential disciplinary or criminal infractions, is now actively collaborating with the Civil Police. This dual investigative route aims to ensure all angles of the case are thoroughly examined, especially given the troubling implications of police involvement in a family’s disappearance. The presence of blood traces found in one of the missing woman’s residences raises further concerns about foul play and the urgency of resolving the case.

As of now, the investigation remains ongoing as authorities seek to interview additional individuals who may shed light on the circumstances surrounding the disappearance. The growing complexity of the case, compounded by the possibility of police involvement, has heightened public interest and concern over the safety of the Aguiar family and accountability within the police force itself.
