British Journalist Missing in Brazil Believed to Be Alive, Say Police

Charlotte Peet, 32, was last heard from on February 8, with new photos and CCTV footage revealing her movements in Rio de Janeiro.

Charlotte Peet, a British freelance journalist, was reported missing on February 17 after her family and friends lost contact with her.
CCTV footage shows Peet checking out of a hostel in Rio de Janeiro on February 25, contradicting earlier reports about her disappearance timeline.
Police have tracked her movements using phone records, GPS, and photos, confirming she traveled from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro on February 8 and stayed in multiple hostels in the city.
Investigators suggest a 'voluntary disappearance' as a primary theory, citing her phone's activity and lack of response to calls and messages.
Peet's family, unaware of her trip to Brazil last November, has expressed deep concern, while UK consular staff and Brazilian authorities continue to collaborate on the case.
