Summary of article:

Janaina Freire Goncalves is a Brazilian immigrant.

She was last seen the night of March 10, 2025

One of her friends reported her missing to the Elizabeth PD on March 15 after she had tried for several days to reach her. Another friend says PD won't respond to requests for information. Elizabeth PD told NJ Advance Media that the case is being handled by the Union County Prosecutor's Office.

"Goncalves was in the midst of breaking up with the man she described to friends as her husband, Brendan Trivisonno, Meinikoff (her friend) said. Goncalves had just discovered that he was already married to a woman in Lyndhurst and has a daughter."

The "husband" told NJ Advance Media that he doesn't know where she is and he is cooperating with the police. He says that when PD arrived at the apartment for the wellness check, he gave them the keys to the apartment. He submitted a DNA sample and his truck and phone were impounded. He refused to answer questions because he didn't have an attorney present. At the time the article was published, he said he would be talking to the PD the following Monday with an attorney present.

Friends said Janaina works as an exotic dancer and is quite successful.

Janaina has a 27-year-old son who usually talks to her every day. His last contact was March 10.

"Trivisonno said he had a “crazy argument” with Goncalves around Thanksgiving when she found out he was married. He moved out to spend more time with his wife and daughter in Lyndhurst, Trivisonno said."

 

[GraceG]

If that "crazy argument" with the "husband" was at Thanksgiving when she found out he was married to another woman why over 3 months to "break up". Was she filing for divorce? Was the marriage to her legal?

Since he's not a POI but is mentioned by name in the article, I can only say the husband was born in and lived in NJ according to State records.

Son flies to New Jersey from Brazil searching for answers for mother missing nearly 2 months

A woman in Elizabeth, New Jersey, disappeared without a trace and has not been seen or heard from in nearly two months. Now her son, who flew from Brazil, is searching for answers.

abc7ny.com

*****
Her son, who flew to her home in New Jersey from Brazil, was looking for answers.

"The last time she was seen, she was at home," Eduardo Goncalves Moreira said in Portuguese.

Moreira is her only son, and he said they are very close and would speak every day.

*****
Goncalves Moreira says his mother got married a year ago.

Her son did not speak with her husband on this trip to New Jersey but met him last year.

"Extremely kind to my mom, everything he was doing to be kind to my mom and I," Moreira said of his mother's husband.

I feel for the son, he was told she was a "personal trainer", but the "husband" who is married to another woman, told authorities she was a successful exotic dancer, which is also what her friends said. Neither job can be verified anywhere. N.J. woman mysteriously disappeared 1 month ago amid breakup. Friends plea for answers. I can find no LinkedIn or other professional sites that show her employed in any particular capacity (not unusual, I never used LinkedIn when working for privacy reasons).

Her son says she moved to Elizabeth three years ago and married a U.S. citizen shortly afterward.

Janaina was last seen publicly on March 9, training a client. According to her family, she was also spotted the next day with her husband at their apartment building, Sing La Vista Apartments. They believe she never left the building after that.

"She was seen going in," Eduardo said, "but never coming out."

It’s been more than a month since anyone has seen 48-year-old Janaina Freire Gonçalves, a personal trainer and waitress from Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Was her husband seen coming out? March 9th is a Sunday, did he go to work the next day? Not that he is a POI, just curious since this is a direct MSM quote from a family member.

Has anyone found the "Sing La Vista" apartment complex? Is it actually the Bella Vista | Apartments for Rent in Elizabeth NJ instead?

If you go back and read the article with the quotes from the son, he was speaking through an interpreter so there may have been some translation issues with the apartment name. La Bella Vita is used both in Spanish and Italian and means the same in both - "beautiful view".

Does the last paragraph in MSM article make any sense? Of course Jana would be upset to learn her HUSBAND was already married and had a kid?

He moved out to spend more time with his other wife/child? Does SHE know he married Jana?

I‘m confused. Only thing I can think of is that the marriage was perhaps more for immigration/citizenship purposes? But if he’s lying to both women as appears to be the case?

Jeez, so Goncalves was married (?) to BT, the son of Robin Trivisonno (the missing woman who was later found dead)? I see a 2018 obituary for BT’s dad that lists BT’s wife and daughter, so it strikes me as odd that Goncalves truly had no clue that BT was still married to this woman.

Well I guess if Jana had no reason to suspect BT was wasn’t being truthful, she probably wasn’t googling his name right?

Evidently at some point she became suspicious. That was probably one of the things she found if she searched the internet.

To be clear I am only discussing information that is related to known facts which are published in MSM and have been stated by the husband himself. I am not pointing to anyone in regards to Jana’s disappearance.

When a POI is named, I think there will be a lot more information available to share.

No

"La bella vita" is " beautiful life" in Italian

"La bella vista" is beautiful view in Spanish

Son speaks Portuguese, we do not know what he said or how it was translated. Cannot find "Boa vista" on map.

This MSN does not even get her name correctly, I have doubts on the apartment complex name…
