Dayanne Rodrigues do Carmo Souza, ex-wife of goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes, has been missing since last Thursday (2). Before disappearing, the 39-year-old woman left letters in which she reports being threatened by loan sharks and appeals to the authorities to protect her family and, above all, her children.

The disappearance was reported to the Military Police in the early hours of this Friday (3) by Dayanne's current husband, aged 36. According to him, the woman left her children in the care of her mother around 11 am and, since then, she has not returned home or made any contact.

Upon returning to the family residence, in Ribeirão das Neves, in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, the man found his wife's cell phone. On the device, there were several conversations with people who were collecting supposed debts. Additionally, he located the letters left by Dayanne before she disappeared.

On social media, the husband published a request for help in locating his wife. In the message, he highlighted the family's despair and asked that any information about Dayanne's whereabouts be communicated, stating that any detail could be important.

In an official statement, the Civil Police reported that, so far, the investigations carried out point, in principle, to a voluntary disappearance, with no evidence of a crime.

See the letter in full:

"To the authorities, today, 07/02/2026,

I ask for help for my children, family, for my partner [name hidden].

I'm being threatened by loan sharks, it's all on my phone.

Because of these threats, today I am losing my life, but I ask that you watch over the lives of those who are staying here.

I want my daughters to stay with my mother, [name withheld].

And my children with their father, [name hidden].

Ribeirão das Neves, July 2, 2026.

Dayanne Rodrigues do Carmo"

Dayanne gained national notoriety for being married to Bruno Fernandes at the time of Eliza Samudio's disappearance, which occurred in June 2010. At the time, she was arrested and charged with the crimes of kidnapping and false imprisonment of Bruninho, Eliza's son with the goalkeeper, but ended up acquitted of all charges.

Bruno Fernandes, in turn, was sentenced to more than 22 years in prison for the crimes of homicide, concealment of a corpse, kidnapping and false imprisonment. The investigations concluded that Eliza Samudio was murdered after demanding that the then goalkeeper recognize Bruninho's paternity.
