Overview

  • Elen Santos da Silva, 21, and Tamara Martins Guimarães, 23, were last seen in Porto Seguro on Friday after planning a Corumbau–Prado–Montinho ride on a motorcycle registered to Tamara.
  • Police searches are underway in the Porto SeguroCaraíva area with support from the National Public Security Force, which has operated there for about a year due to local land disputes.
  • A farewell-style note tied to Elen circulated online, but her mother says it came from a workplace exercise rather than a real goodbye.
  • Investigators report no confirmed sightings and ask the public to share information anonymously through Disque Denúncia 181 or at any police station.
  • Tamara left her three-year-old daughter with her employer expecting to pick her up the next morning, and relatives say Elen showed no unusual behavior before the disappearance.
