Essex Police Release New CCTV of Vitória Figueiredo Barreto in Brightlingsea

Investigators seek her phone and bank records through international channels.

Overview

  • New security videos show the Brazilian psychologist walking across fields near Hurst Green and later near the Brightlingsea marina.
  • Detectives said the footage extends her confirmed movements to 12:16 a.m. on March 4 at a boatyard on Copperas Road as they narrow the window before a boat left a pontoon.
  • Police said most ground searches have ended with targeted repeat sweeps in key areas while they request her banking and phone data through formal cross‑border channels.
  • Her family launched a donation drive promoted by London Help4U to cover lodging, food, and the hiring of private investigators in the UK.
  • Her mother described a tense final call on March 3, adding urgency as authorities work to close gaps in the timeline using camera, financial, and communication records.
