The disappearance of Silvana Germann de Aguiar, 48, and her elderly parents, Isail Vieira de Aguiar, 69, and Dalmira Germann de Aguiar, 70, who have been missing since late January, has evolved into a serious criminal investigation that began with social media posts about an alleged traffic accident. However, authorities have determined that no such accident occurred, refocusing their efforts on the criminal elements of the case. More than 15 days into the investigation, a significant breakthrough was made with the arrest of Cristiano Domingues Francisco, a former partner of Silvana, who is now a suspect in the case.

The military police have reported that traces of blood were discovered at the scene, along with crucial evidence such as a cell phone, a blank cartridge, and audio files which are under forensic analysis. The police's careful collection and examination of this evidence are critical steps toward understanding the circumstances that led to the disappearance of Silvana and her parents. Meanwhile, the investigation is being closely monitored by the Corregedoria-Geral, underscoring the seriousness with which the authorities are approaching this troubling case.

Cristiano’s temporary arrest will last for a maximum of 30 days, during which he is expected to remain silent. The police have stated that he will also be suspended from his duties as a police officer. The situation highlights not only the personal tragedy of the individuals involved but also raises broader concerns about domestic relationships and the potential for violence, especially in cases involving former partners. The ongoing investigation continues to garner public attention as authorities work diligently to uncover the truth behind this unsettling disappearance.
