Overview
- The jump, which occurred June 13, involved 21‑year‑old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas being sent from a disused railway bridge without a secured rope and falling about 40 meters to her death.
- Investigators detained the three crew members who handled safety and have formally charged Maicon C., Luis Felipe E. and Vitor G. with negligent homicide.
- Authorities say the GoPro the victim wore, which recorded the jump, is missing and that new witness statements and image analysis give conflicting accounts about who removed the camera.
- Police are actively searching for an unidentified short‑haired woman who jumped just before the victim and remained near the bridge foundation because she may have observed crucial details.
- The event was run from an informal site rather than a regulated operation, organizers were previously temporarily detained, and experts warn that the lack of professional oversight and backup safety procedures likely increased risk and shape the legal and safety questions investigators must now resolve.
