Boss is investigated as a suspect in the murder of a cook The São Paulo Civil Police found, on Friday afternoon (17), a female body in a forested area in the town of Serra d'Água, on the banks of Estrada de Lídice, in Angra dos Reis (RJ). Investigators believe that the victim could be the cook Berenice Ramos de Aguiar, who has been missing since the end of June in Ubatuba (SP). ?

Firefighters arrive at the location where the body was found during the search for the cook. Civil Police/Personal file The suspicion is based on the fact that the location of the discovery is within the area delimited by the investigation based on the route taken by the vehicle of Berenice's boss, Eliane Alves dos Santos, aged 46, who was arrested on suspicion of having committed the crime. Official confirmation of identity will depend on expert examinations that will be carried out after removal. The Fire Department arrived at the scene shortly before 6pm on Friday. The body was located in a difficult-to-access part of the forest. According to investigators, the victim was stuck to a tree in a steep area, which made it difficult for teams participating in the search to approach him. Due to the conditions of the terrain, the police called the Fire Department, which must carry out the removal using rappelling techniques. Only after the rescue will it be possible to begin the forensic examination and identification procedures. The Civil Police are investigating the disappearance of cook Berenice Ramos de Aguiar, aged 60, who was last seen on June 30, in the Ubatumirim neighborhood, in Ubatuba (SP). Personal file Blood in the truck Earlier, the investigation gained new elements after the police confirmed the presence of traces of blood in Eliane's truck. With the observation made by the dogs, the experts working on the investigation used luminol in the vehicle and it was found that there was blood in the truck, with the highest concentration being found in the passenger seat. ? Luminol is a type of chemical reagent and is constantly used by the Scientific Police in criminal investigations. It is used to detect traces of blood that are invisible to the naked eye. When sprayed, if there is blood in the area, the liquid will glow fluorescent blue. Both police reports have not yet been finalized. They are expected to be completed in the next few days. Audio of son This week, an audio of Berenice's son to Eliane was released. In the audio, the son demands explanations from his boss about the last moments before his mother disappeared, in Ubatuba. The boss Eliane Alves dos Santos, 46 years old, has been temporarily detained since Friday (10). The case is being investigated as a possible homicide by the police, although no body has yet been found (read more below). In the recording, obtained by Rede Vanguarda, and which is not part of the police investigation, José Carlos de Faria, Berenice's son, asks the employer to tell him exactly what happened on the day his mother left the restaurant where she worked. Son: "What happened? Because my mother disappeared."

Boss: "She hasn't arrived yet? She left here saying she was going to Toninhas. She had a job there."

Son: "But, what happened? Did something happen? Did you argue? Did something more serious happen? Open the game. I wanted to understand, in reality, what actually happened, because we are worried. I called the police." Audio shows son demanding explanations from his boss after the disappearance of a cook in SP. In response, the boss says she didn't know that Berenice had a son and offers to show her where she stayed. The woman also says that the cook took everything from the place. Throughout the conversation, the son reports the family's anguish at not being able to contact Berenice since her disappearance. "It's very strange. If she had lost her cell phone or something happened, she would ask someone to send a message to let her know. So far we have no sign of her. Since Tuesday", he says.

She also claims to have reached a labor agreement with the cook, paid R$2,600 and left her at a bus stop after terminating the contract. Investigation The audio was recorded at the beginning of the search for Berenice, before the developments in the investigation that led to the boss's temporary arrest. The Civil Police are investigating the businesswoman on suspicion of murder and point out contradictions between the version presented by her and the evidence gathered during the investigation. On Tuesday (14), g1 showed that images from security cameras and radar records reinforce the inconsistencies in the investigated woman's testimony. At first, she stated that she left Berenice in the Toninhas neighborhood. Afterwards, he said that the cook disembarked at the Ubatumirim interchange and was going to the neighborhood alone. He also declared to the police that he returned home after the ride. According to investigators, however, images show that the businesswoman's truck passed through Estrada do Pasto Grande and headed towards Paraty (RJ), contradicting the statement. The Civil Police are investigating the disappearance of cook Berenice Ramos de Aguiar, aged 60.
