Summary
In September 2026, Brazilian authorities apprehended Jorlan Lopes da Silva, a 33-year-old man suspected of committing sixteen murders within a three-month span. The suspect attempted to evade a massive police manhunt by wearing a feminine disguise, complete with a wig, dress, and makeup, while carrying a young child who was not his own. Investigators successfully identified him after a visible tattoo was exposed when his clothing shifted. Following his capture, the suspect reportedly confessed to eighty total killings throughout his life, claiming his violent history began with the death of his father. While the child was recovered safely, officials continue to investigate the vast scale of his alleged crimes and locate additional victims.
