Search Intensifies for Missing British Journalist in Brazil

Charlotte Peet, 32, disappeared after last contacting a friend in São Paulo on February 8, with authorities now investigating her case.

Charlotte Peet, a 32-year-old British freelance journalist, has been missing in Brazil for over 10 days, with her last known contact occurring on February 8 in São Paulo.
Peet informed a friend in São Paulo that she planned to travel to Rio de Janeiro but was unable to secure accommodation before losing contact with family and friends.
Brazilian authorities, including the State Department of Homicides and Personal Protection, are actively investigating her disappearance, with the case transferred from Rio to São Paulo based on her last known location.
The Brazilian Foreign Press Association and the British embassy have both expressed concern and urged intensified efforts to locate Peet, who has nine years of journalism experience and previously lived in Brazil.
Peet’s family has provided authorities with her passport photo and flight details, while colleagues and friends in the region continue to advocate for a thorough search.
