The 32-year-old freelance journalist was last heard from over a week ago
Charlotte Peet, a 32-year-old British freelance journalist, has been missing in Brazil for over a week. She was last heard from in São Paulo and had called a friend in Rio de Janeiro, stating she needed a place to stay. Brazilian police are investigating her disappearance, with the 5th Missing Persons Division leading the case. They have not ruled out the possibility that she deliberately severed ties with her family and friends. The British embassy has confirmed it is assisting her family and is in contact with local authorities. The Brazilian Foreign Press Association has expressed concern and called for an expanded search effort. Charlotte had previously worked as a foreign correspondent in Brazil for two years before returning earlier this year.
