MP calls Interpol to find out the history of the US missionary arrested for beating his son in The wake of Oliver Golden Grayson, a three-year-old boy who died after being beaten by his father in Viamão, in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre, should take place this Wednesday afternoon (22), according to the defense of Mayanna Rodgers, the boy's mother. The family meets the vulnerability criteria necessary for a "social wake" to take place, provided for by the city of Viamão. Oliver died on July 8th. His father, the American missionary D'Andre Jermaine Grayson, who confessed to the crime to the police, has been in pre-trial detention since July 5th. The boy died on July 8th.

Access the g1 RS channel on WhatsApp The court ordered that Oliver's mother be escorted out of prison to recognize her son's body. According to the Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Sul (MPRS), the decision, handed down on Friday (17) by the 1st Criminal Court of the Jury and Criminal Execution Court of the municipality, would have responded to a request from the body to enable the release of the child's body for burial. However, Mayanna's defense claims that the request was made by the defense, without the participation of the MP. Mayanna's transfer from the Guaíba State Women's Penitentiary to the Medical-Legal Department (DML) was authorized after the MPRS informed the Judiciary that all necessary examinations had already been completed, with no further legal impediments to the delivery of the body to the family. Mayanna's defense informed that the IML has already recognized Oliver through papiloscopy, a method that identifies individuals through fingerprints, palm or plantar prints. Previously, the management of the prison where she was held had denied the inmate's extraordinary release, on the grounds that the great repercussion of the case created risks to her physical integrity and that of the escort agents. At the time, Mayanna's defense criticized the measure, classifying it as an "anticipated punishment". To date, 11 witnesses have been interviewed by the investigation and the investigation is expected to conclude at the beginning of August. Delegate Luana Medeiros, responsible for the investigation, stated that parents advised their children to hide the injuries. According to the police, the children would wear long clothes and would be instructed to invent stories to justify the marks on their bodies. The police also analyzed the structure of the family's residence. The place is a small wooden house, without doors, where the rooms were divided only by cloth. The investigation investigates the mother's conduct and assesses, through psychic examinations that will still be carried out on the children, whether she was silent in relation to the death and attacks or whether she also carried out torture. In a separate investigation, the Civil Police is investigating signs that Mayanna suffered physical and psychological violence from her husband. The civil police of Santa Catarina and São Paulo sent copies of incidents that indicate evidence of mistreatment committed by the family in these states between 2024 and 2025. The Federal Police (PF) and Interpol were also called in to check the foreigners' background and the family's legal status in Brazil. The police are investigating possible failures in the protection network in Viamão, where the family lived, to clarify what measures were adopted in response to signs of mistreatment.
