"On Wednesday, a friend of hers contacted me, saying that she mentioned she was buying a property in Nova Londrina and said to keep it a secret. She was buying this property from a friend she had met and had known for a while, so we believe she fell for a scam," Josiane said.

With her mother's disappearance, Josiane states that family members began going to Nova Londrina every day in search of answers regarding her whereabouts. "We are desperate because we have no answers and it has been a week since her disappearance. We just want answers, we are torn apart," the daughter concludes.
