Raul Grijalva, chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, and Rep. Ed Markey, member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who said on Wednesday that вЂњBrazil must not delay a robust search and accountability process.вЂќ Others included Rep. lawmakers have also turned to Twitter calling for swift action, including Sen. WHERE ARE DOM & BRUNO?вЂќ read one of the messages. In Los Angeles, where Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and President Joe Biden met Thursday, two trucks parked in the middle of an avenue displayed messages along with large illustrations of Phillips and Pereira.

A growing number of celebrities, politicians, civil society groups and international news organizations have joined their call, asking that the police, army and navy bolster the search efforts.ДЄctor Mark Ruffalo called on Twitter for an вЂњinternational responseвЂќ, stressing the worrying number of journalists being вЂњattacked, killed, or disappearedвЂќ. The difficult search comes as Indigenous leaders on the ground, family members and peers of Pereira and Phillips have expressed concern that authoritiesвЂ™ search efforts were insufficient and lacked coordination.

They said they were with Phillips and Pereira at a hut on Saturday when the incident took place. Mayoruna and SalomГЈo Mayoruna, 32, are part of a local group that watches that area of the river. вЂњWe went there but they did nothing,вЂќ said Raimundo Mayoruna, 20, told the AP. Costa de Oliveira was being held in Atalaia do Norte and is considered the main suspect in the disappearance.ДЄfter the incident, two men who were with Phillips and Pereira when the fishermen showed up, said they went to the nearby federal base that has permanent presence of BrazilвЂ™s bureau office for Indigenous affairs, known as FUNAI, and policemen from the National Guard. Marubo said that Phillips photographed the men at the time, including local resident Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira, known as Pelado. The day before, Phillips and Pereira had been threatened by the men brandishing guns, Paulo Marubo, the president of a Javari Valley association of Indigenous people, Univaja, told the Associated Press. The two men were in the Sao Rafael community, and returning by boat to the nearby city of Atalaia do Norte, but never arrived.
