CNN
Blood has been found in a boat owned by a suspect in the disappearance of a British journalist and indigenous affairs expert in a remote region of the Amazon, Brazil's federal police said Thursday.
The discovery comes as Brazil's President said search efforts were continuing for veteran correspondent Dom Phillips and Brazilian researcher Bruno Araújo Pereira, who were first reported missing Sunday in the Javari Valley, in the far western part of Amazonas state. They had reportedly received death threats just days prior.
The suspect was arrested Wednesday and remains in custody, authorities said. Materials collected from the boat have been sent to the Amazonas state capital for forensic analysis.
