Where is Janaina Freddy Gonsalves? NJ family searches for answers

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.

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.

Officials have declined to answer whether Janaina’s husband is a person of interest or where the case currently stands, saying only that the investigation is ongoing.

Curious what time of day this was??

MSM has had a lot of details in this case incorrectly. Police are being very quiet, hopefully gathering evidence.

 

[GraceG]

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.

Thanks Seni - you are correct - I meant to write VISTA, not VITA (I hate these new "transitions lenses).

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


Here's the area LE was called to for the MP Report?

600 New Point Rd, Elizabeth, NJ 07206

IF the apartment is the Bella Vista complex. It looks like they would have many cameras, so hopefully there is a trail of evidence.

Boa Vista means beautiful view in Portuguese, he could be using it to refer to the apartment complex but why would he need to do so?

To describe/distinguish where Jana was living, last seen with husband, and seen entering, but never leaving again?

This is interesting - why is the Union County Prosecutor's Office specifically looking for information on Janaina in addition to police? That's not something you normally see in a missing persons case. From their official website: Union County Prosecutors Office (NJ)

No updates in this case?

 

[truthfinder2019]

Even the BRazilian news reports stopped broadcasting the case

LE must be on something IMO, they spoke quite rapidly about looking for tips for an indictment.

Família gaúcha vive angústia com desaparecimento de brasileira nos EUA há quase três meses - SBT News

Janaína Freire Gonçalves, de 48 anos, sumiu em Nova Jersey; polícia americana investiga o caso e oferece recompensa

sbtnews.sbt.com.br

The mother, Maria Freire Gonçalves, remembers that, in the last contacts, she noticed something strange. "I noticed that she was a little stressed, but as my daughter didn't want to make me worried, she said it was because of work, the Green Card, that she didn't go out. I didn't imagine something else was happening," he said.

With the disappearance, the American police began to investigate the case. Janaína's computer and cell phone were collected in the couple's apartment and her car was found on March 10, shortly after the disappearance.

 

[Knox]

MOO, but there are some pretty compelling facts in this case that point to what happened. The only other possibility, might be self harm. Jana had been betrayed in the worst way imaginable.

I’m so sorry her family is going through this.

Her mother's comment about the green card raised some questions for me as this is the first I remember hearing about her immigration and/or work status. Was it because she may not have been legally married to her husband (if he was not legally divorced from wife No. 1 at the time) or other factors? Her leaving her computer/phone/car behind is troubling.

Sad right? I thought of her last week and looked, crickets. Her poor son and family, on the other side of the world. Hope LE is keeping them up to date.

 

[truthfinder2019]

Very sad. I wonder if LE is looking into possible foul play within her apartment building but by someone yet unknown. She wasn’t seen exiting right ?

That's what I understand, yet the other person in that apartment with her, has not been named a POI?

i hope they managed to search ALL the building. There aren’t 2000 possibilities…

This is a case in my backyard here in Union County, New Jersey and honestly - this is a case that MOO: pulls at me because it’s a woman engaged in survival work and strategy. MOO: this is a woman who was doing what she needed to do to get what needed to be done done, she met a guy who had secrets, and here we are. There was a case here years ago that reminds me of this one in some ways (definitely not all): GUILTY - NJ - Amy Giordano, 25, Hightstown, 8 June 2007
