The Brazilian Air Force (FAB) will continue the search in the early hours of this Tuesday (2) for a helicopter that disappeared last Sunday (31) on the way to Ilhabela, on the coast of São Paulo.
According to the Military Police, the PR-HDB helicopter, model Robson 44 (gray and black), took off at 1:15 pm from Campo de Marte and made its last contact at 3:10 pm.
An SC-105 Amazonas aircraft, from the Second Squadron of the Tenth Aviation Group, was deployed by the FAB for searches in the region since Monday (1st).
A CNN got information about the passengers from the sister of one of the missing.
Luciana Marley Rodzewics Santos, 46, her daughter, Letícia Ayumi Rodzewics Sawunoto, 20, and a friend, identified as Rafael, were on the helicopter, in addition to the pilot, who has not yet been identified.
According to Silvia Santos, CNN Luciana's sister and Letícia's aunt, the young woman sent a message and a video before her disappearance.
“It’s dangerous. Lots of fog, I’m coming back”, said Letícia in a message to her family. A video the family received shows the fog at the time of the disappearance.
Luciana and Letícia had received an invitation from Rafael to take a helicopter ride, the sister explained.
The family also reported that the location of the young woman's cell phone is active and FAB aircraft are trying to search.
Because of the lack of visibility, they were unable to land at the signal location this Monday.
