Overview

  • Alejandro Ainsworth, 54, was last seen Sunday night leaving his lodging in Copacabana, according to family and police reports.
  • A photo captured on his phone at 7 a.m. Monday auto‑uploaded to Google Photos, and investigators say they could not geolocate the device’s last activity.
  • The family reported rapid password changes, transfers and loan requests beginning early Monday, with operations later blocked by providers.
  • Phone timelines differ: police sources cite activity through Monday 9 p.m., while his son says the last connection was Tuesday 9 p.m.
  • Rio’s tourist police are leading the search with the Argentine consulate coordinating notifications, public hospitals reported no matching admissions, and his sons traveled to Brazil to assist.
