Bruno Pereira
Two brothers were detained by the Brazilian Federal Police (PF) on suspicion of being involved in the disappearances. Days later, one of them confessed that he had killed Bruno and Phillips and told the Federal Police where he had buried the bodies, as well as the place where the boat in which Phillips and Pereira were traveling sank.  The police found human remains in the indicated place and did not rule out more arrests. However, forensic analysis still needs to be completed to confirm that the bodies are those of Bruno and Phillips.
