Overview
- The cousins, who vanished Sunday outside their grandmother's home in Praia Grande, were found dead after midnight Monday in an abandoned car in the Vila Sônia neighborhood.
- Security-camera footage recorded the boys leaving at 14:46 with no suspicious person visible before they passed out of view behind a wall.
- Investigators now treat asphyxia and dehydration from being trapped inside the vehicle as the primary hypothesis pending autopsy and lab reports.
- The Delegation of General Investigations moved away from the initial homicide classification after early forensic checks by examiners.
- The family, including Henry’s mother, believes someone may have lured the boys, a claim not supported by the footage and still unproven.
