In Cachoeirinha, a city in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre, Brazil, authorities have located the cell phone of Silvana Germann de Aguiar, a 48-year-old woman who has been missing since January 24. The phone was found on February 7, concealed under a rock and wrapped in a black cloth, near the family store, after a tip-off to the police. The device was notably found with its camera covered in duct tape, raising suspicions regarding the circumstances of her disappearance.
Silvana, along with her parents, Isail Aguiar, 69, and Dalmira Aguiar, 70, has been missing for several weeks. Police have confirmed that they have yet to uncover any fingerprints on the device, indicating a lack of leads from the phone itself.

The investigation continues as police seek more information about Silvana's disappearance and the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her phone. The public's involvement is crucial, as authorities urge anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing the importance of community support in resolving cases of missing individuals, especially in a context where violence towards women is tragically prevalent.
