Police in Brazil say they are tracking British journalist Charlotte Peet who went missing over two weeks ago.
The news correspondent from London went to Brazil in November before she stopped communicating with her family.
Peet, 32, who has freelanced with the likes of Al Jazeera, The Times and The Evening Standard, had worked in Brazil two years ago.

Her disappearance lead to the Department of Homicide and Personal Protection (DHPP) looking for her in Sao Paulo, where she was previously last seen getting onto a bus heading to Rio de Janeiro.
However, police say they've been tracking her whereabouts via her phone and have 'sent her photos, which show her getting off the bus in Rio, and in various places around Rio'.
They believe that Peet may have 'disappeared voluntarily'.

Rio's Civil Police has also shared various selfies of the journalist taken from one of her two mobiles.
In one picture, she is sat in a beachside bar in the Leme district of Rio de Janeiro on 15 February.
While another is of Peet wearing sunglasses on a nearby street to Hotel Hilton Copacabana.

Police chief Elen Souto said: "The main line of investigation is voluntary disappearance.
"We have two mobile phone numbers for her. The British number receives messages and calls. The Brazilian number, which has an area code for Sao Paulo, is programmed to not receive calls.
"We have sent her photos, which show her getting off the bus in Rio, and in various places around Rio, to the Missing Persons Facial Recognition Programme."
The Brazilian Foreign Press Association (ACIE) previously said in a statement that they 'publicly express its concern about the disappearance of 32-year-old British journalist Charlotte Alice Peet and show solidarity with her family and friends'.

They added: “As a freelance journalist Charlotte knew some of the foreign correspondents who are members of the Brazilian Foreign Press Association. She reported from Brazil for foreign media, including Al Jazeera and British and even Portuguese media outlets. The ACIE and its leadership calls on the relevant authorities to intensify their work to try to find the missing British journalist as soon as possible.”
"I wouldn't say that it was normal, there was something on her mind obviously otherwise she would have let us know," her concerned father Derek previously told Sky News about Peet travelling to Brazil without telling her family.
"It's very worrying but I don't have any more to say, I'm very concerned but I just don't know what's going on, we're just trying to pick up the pieces really.

"She was then traced to Gatwick Airport and was found to have boarded a plane to Sao Paulo and then the trail went cold."
