Cristiano Domingues Francisco, a military police officer in Brazil, is temporarily detained as a suspect in the mysterious disappearance of a family in Cachoeirinha, Rio Grande do Sul. The officer, who is the ex-husband of the missing woman, Silvana Germann de Aguiar, is scheduled to provide testimony to police regarding the case. Recently, his brother has also been questioned by the authorities, while the officer's wife gave her statement just the day prior.

The investigation into the disappearances of 48-year-old Silvana and her parents, 69-year-old Isail Vieira de Aguiar and 70-year-old Dalmira Germann de Aguiar, has been ongoing since the end of January. The case has become increasingly urgent, especially after police confirmed that human blood found in Silvana's home is being tested for genetic matching to determine if it belongs to any of the missing family members. This finding raises serious concerns about the fate of the family and underlines the complexities of the investigation.

Authorities also revealed that on January 25, the last known date the couple was seen, their landline received a call from Silvana's cellphone. This detail could provide crucial evidence in linking the officer to the case, as investigators work to uncover details surrounding the family's disappearance. The case is stirring significant public interest given its troubling nature and the connections among those involved.
