Disappearance of Beatriz Winck

In 2012, while the elderly Winck couple was visiting the town of Aparecida do Norte in Brazil as tourists, they went souvenir shopping. Later, 77-year-old Beatriz Winck stepped outside and waited while her husband, Delmar Winck, waited in line to pay for the items. When he left the store, she had vanished. Investigation of her disappearance led nowhere as they did not find a single clue as to what happened to her. Her husband is still alive and his adult children keep searching for her. The town is known for the Sanctuary of Aparecida which is the second-largest Catholic church in the world and she disappeared right in front of it. The church only gave the police access to its camera 15 days after her disappearance by which time, that day’s events were recorded over.
