Coincidental or professional?/ British journalist missing in Brazil for almost

A British journalist living in Brazil has been missing in the South American country for almost two weeks, according to a foreign correspondents' association.

Charlotte Peet, 32, last contacted a friend in Rio de Janeiro on February 8, according to a statement Tuesday from the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents in Brazil (ACIE).

Sending messages via WhatsApp, Peet asked her friend for a place to stay, saying she was in São Paulo and was planning to go to Rio, the statement said.

"The friend, unable to wait for him, later learned from Peet's family that they had lost contact with him," the statement continued.

The ACIE statement said Peet's disappearance was reported to Brazilian police on February 17. After an initial review by Rio's Tourist Assistance Police, the case was transferred to São Paulo's homicide and personal protection division (DHPP), which handles missing persons cases, it added.

In an emailed statement to CNN, São Paulo's public security secretariat said the 5th precinct of the DHPP's Missing Persons Division "is taking steps to locate the missing woman and clarify the facts."

A spokesperson for the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) told CNN in an email that it is "supporting the family of a British woman who has been reported missing in Brazil and are in contact with local authorities."

Peet lived in Brazil as a correspondent "for more than two years," ACIE wrote. After a brief return to the United Kingdom, she returned to Brazil in November 2024. /CNA
