The deputy's body was found in Sítio Monte Alegre, district of São José da Mata, where his cattle were. Two people were arrested, but their identities have not been released at this time.
Delegate Renata Dias, responsible for the case, informed that a press conference will be held this Thursday (11).
The disappearance
Family members claim that Walter, also known as “João”, left the city of Boa Vista, in Cariri, Paraíba, to trade cattle in the city of São José da Mata, which is nearby. He currently worked as a freelancer.
"It's a harrowing wait. We feel helpless, not knowing where he is, how he is, whether he's alive or dead," said Fátima Nascimento, his wife.
In a statement, the Paraíba Civil Police reported that the Campina Grande Robbery and Theft Police Station was assigned to investigate the disappearance. The corporation also informed that new information should be released as the investigations progress.
Walter's daughter, Jéssica Nascimento, said in the same interview that the last sign from the police chief was through a phone call, where he corresponded with his son, informing him precisely about going to São José da Mata to negotiate the sale of animals.
"He called my brother to say that he was going to investigate some cattle that he had on land in São José da Mata, on leased land. We waited for him to arrive, during the night, as always happened, and he didn't arrive," he said.
The family also said that two men were seen with the retired police officer on that property negotiating for cattle. His daughter said the person who leased the land from Walter reported that he did not know the men and that the delegate negotiated part of the animals, leaving in his car with the people.
Family members also reported that the retired police officer's car was last seen in the city of Taquaritinga do Norte, in Pernambuco. The vehicle would have passed through BR-104, but has not yet been located.
