Charlotte Alice Peet: Full story of British journalist found in Brazil after four months missing
British journalist Charlotte Alice Peet was finally found on Monday following a four month search by Brazilian authorities. Ms Peet, 32, who has worked for The Independent, went missing in February after she flew to Brazil in November. She had previously lived and worked in Brazil. After her disappearance was flagged by friends and family, Brazilian authorities spent four months tracking her down before she was found in the major eastern city of Sao Paulo. Ms Peet informed authorities that she had voluntarily disappeared, and did not want to contact her family. Here is the full story of Charlotte Alice Peet's disappearance and how Brazilian authorities tracked her down. Who is Charlotte Alice Peet? Ms Peet had nine years of experience as a journalist including four years of reporting abroad. She worked for a host of British publications, including The Independent. She worked as a freelance journalist in London after a stint as a foreign correspondent in Brazil, reporting for publications including Al Jazeera, The Times and the Evening Standard, according to her LinkedIn profile. Ms Peet also described herself as fluent in Portuguese. What happened when she went missing? Ms Peet was declared missing in February after being seen boarding a bus in Sao Paulo. The journalist, 32, is said to have told a friend she was planning to go to Rio de Janeiro on 8 February before she disappeared. Days later, the family contacted her friend to say they had lost contact. Ms Peet had also not told her family that she had flown to Brazil back in November. A missing person report was initially lodged at Rio de Janeiro's Tourist Attention Centre on 17 February before being passed on to Sao Paulo, where Ms Peet was supposed to have been before she disappeared. Local authorities launched an investigation to find the reporter on 17 February. How did the search play out? The Rio de Janeiro Whereabouts Discovery Unit (DDPA) initially said they believed that Ms Peet stayed at a hostel in Copacabana. Police believe she remained until 17 February, before moving to another hostel in Botafogo where she stayed until 24 February. On at least two occasions, she visited bars in Copacabana and Leme. The Brazilian Foreign Press Association (ACIE) released a statement at the time, expressing their 'concern' for Ms Peet after she vanished. The ACIE said that Ms Peet's family had provided information about her flight to Brazil as well as a passport photo to aid the investigation. By tracking Ms Peet's cell phone, authorities collected information about her whereabouts. Local media reported that authorities had been able to access photos on her phone - but it is unclear how they did this. These pictures included several selfies, shared publicly by police as they tried to track her down. She was later found at a Sao Paulo hostel. Upon finding her at the Sao Paulo hostel, police told the BBC on Monday that Ms Peet expressed her desire not to have contact with her family. Police then dropped the case after earlier suspicions that she had voluntarily disappeared were confirmed.

You're probably showing your age if you use these words and phrases, at risk of dying out
But language is an ever-evolving thing and as new words and sayings are born, others inevitably fall out of fashion. We've put together a list of words and phrases you don't hear as often as you once did - some of which are at risk of dying out. They may be the victims of developing technology and changing lifestyles, or perhaps they've been superseded by their US equivalents. There are some fantastically colourful turns of phrase among them, which it would be a shame if we lost for good. But if you find yourself uttering any of these words and sayings on a regular basis then you're probably showing your age. How many of these do you use, are there any you don't recognise, and what other sayings do you not hear as often today as you once did? Do you have any retro pictures or nostalgic memories to share with us? Send them online via YourWorld at It's free to use and, once checked, your story or picture will appear on our website and, space allowing, in our newspapers. 1 . Put it on the other side This used to be a common phrase uttered among families gathered around the TV set, meaning change the channel. It dates back to a time long before streaming and when there was much less choice when it came to what to watch, with the UK only getting a fourth channel in 1982. People also often refer to TV shows rather than programmes these days, too, while the British word series is facing a battle for survival against the US equivalent season. | Frank Martin/BIPs/Getty Images Photo: Frank Martin/BIPs/Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . Pip pip This is another charming old phrase to which most people have waved goodbye. Very few of us would say 'pip pip' today rather than bye or see you. In fact, a 2022 poll by Perspectus Global, found that 70 percent of people questioned had never used the phrase 'pip pip'. | TopicalPhoto: TopicalPhoto Sales 3 . Going to the pictures People used to talk about going to the pictures - a phrase dating back to a time when cinemas were called picture houses. But the word movie has largely replaced picture, flick and even film in common usage. | Evening Standard/Photo: Evening Standard/Photo Sales 4 . Don't get your knickers in a twist This saying, meaning don't get too upset about something so trivial, is another which appears to be dying out. People today are more likely to simply tell you to 'calm down'. Either phrase invariably has the opposite effect to that of its stated aim. |Photo:Photo Sales Related topics: NostalgiaBoost
