The star of the Brazilian telenovela Reis disappeared in January of this year. Actor Jefferson Machado was last seen on January 27th, then the ground seemed to collapse. His family was contacted by an unnamed agency saying his eight dogs were left abandoned at his home in Rio de Janeiro. Each of his dogs reportedly had a British diary Daily Mail tracking device.
The family began to worry about the actor. His mom, Maria das Dores, said she last spoke to him on January 29, when he told her he was going to São Paulo for a job interview. He said he intended to spend the night at his friend’s house. At the same time, she stated that she subsequently received strange text messages from her son, which were full of grammatical errors. “He told me he dropped his phone in the toilet and that’s why he can’t video call me,” Dores said. The police finally started looking for the actor. He was officially declared missing on February 9.
However, the search ended tragically. Earlier this week, investigators announced they had found his body. Detectives dug it up on a plot of land near Rio de Janeiro. Someone tied his body and stuffed it into a wooden chest. He then buried the coffin with the body in a dilapidated shed. The land where the police discovered the body was allegedly rented by a woman who knew Machoda. However, the police have not yet announced whether they have a suspect or whether they have already made an arrest. “Jefferson was coldly and brutally murdered, by envious, evil, and of course unscrupulous people,” said the lawyer for the victim’s family, Cintia Hilsendeger.
