After going missing for two days, a Brazilian TikTok influencer was discovered dead in her car, having allegedly driven off a cliff.
On October 18, Jam Press reported that authorities found Raquel da Silva Moura Medeiros, 41, dead inside a flipping car close to the BR-364 highway in Ariquemes, Rondônia.
The Federal Highway Police concluded that there was no foul play suspected when her car overturned after falling off a cliff on the side of the road. They said that the reason it took so long to locate the dentist’s body was because her car was tucked away in a clump of foliage, according to G1 Global.
A tragic story that began when Medeiros vanished two days earlier, on October 16, came to a conclusion with this. At around 10 p.m. on that day, the dead is said to have driven away from Ji-Paraná municipality, where she was born.
Twenty minutes after starting the drive, she was last seen on closed-circuit TV cameras arriving in Jaru, the final city before reaching Ariquemes.
Concerned family members issued a missing person notice on social media after Medeiros failed to get home and informed the police of her disappearance, according to Jam Press. Authorities began a massive search as a result, including air support to patrol portions of the route between her starting point and the location where she was last seen. They found her remains at that point.
Co-workers at the basic health unit in Ariquemes, where she worked since 2017, claimed Medeiros “was liked by patients and co-workers.”
