MAICOL ANTONIO SALES DOS SANTOS

The only suspect arrested, Maicol is classified by police as the suspect with “more evidence” harvested so far. In an order that authorized his arrest, the judge who considered the request for custody stressed that there are “Very strong evidence of involvement”.

Maicol’s mobile data show that he accessed Vitória’s Instagram profile around 1 am on February 27, shortly after the victim’s disappearance.

Against Maicol weighs the fact that his car, a Toyota Corolla, is seen near the scene of Vitória’s disappearance. Scientific police also identified blood were found in the trunk of the car.

In addition to the blood, Maicol said he was at home with his wife, on the night of the victim’s disappearance, but she said she was at her mother’s house. His wife’s testimony contradicts his version of the facts.

Neighbors reported suspicious movements At dawn of the crime at Maicol’s house, and his car, which used to be outside, but wasn’t there.

In recovered conversations, Maicol showed concern about the fact that his car was allegedly seen, suggesting a possible connection with the crime.

Police also found several photos of Vitória and other girls with similar physical characteristics on Maicol’s cell phone, raising the suspicion of a possible “fixation”.

Maicol was pre -trial due to material and witness evidence. Prison lasting 30 days may be renewed for an equal period.

DANIEL LUCAS PEREIRA

Daniel was a friend of the victim. Although police investigate him for possible participation in the crime, the court denied Daniel’s temporary arrest request. The judge considered that initially Daniel’s only connection with the case was that he photographed Maicol’s vehicle and shown the photos to Vitória’s family.

However, police have images showing Daniel following victory on the way between the bus stop and her house for three or four days before the crime, which raises suspicions of premeditation of the kidnapping. Daniel’s cell phone was seized for expertise, and the geolocation of the device puts him near the victory on the night of the crime.

According to police statements, Daniel and Maicol were together the day Victoria disappeared. The relationship between them, however, was not of total partnership. Daniel reported that he believes he was involved in the case by Maicol due to an old feud related to fighting in football.

Gustavo Vinícius Moraes

Gustavo Viníciusé one of the three main suspects investigated in the case of the death of Vitória Regina de Sousa. He was the victim’s ex-boyfriend.

Although Gustavo claims that he had no contact with Vitória Regina for months, the investigation found a telephone call between them on the day of the disappearance. The geolocation of Gustavo’s cell phone puts him near Vitória’s residence at the time of the crime.

In his statement, Gustavo presented inconsistencies by claiming that he had loaned his vehicle to a friend, which raises suspicions about his involvement. His cell phone was seized by the Civil Police for analysis.

Gustavo introduced himself to the police claiming Temer for his life. He, along with Maicol Sales dos Santos and Daniel Lucas Pereira, are the focus of the investigation to clarify their involvement and role in the crime. Police consider that everyone involved were part of the living cycle and knew the victim.
