EP 199: Killed, Cut & Fed to Dogs

Famous Brazilian football/soccer star Bruno Fernandes de Souza had the mother of his child, Eliza Samudio, kidnapped, murdered, dismembered, and allegedly fed to a pack of Rottweilers. At the height of his career, Bruno was the celebrated goalkeeper and captain of Flamengo, one of Brazil’s biggest football clubs, with fame, money, and an adoring fanbase. But behind that superstar image was an increasingly vicious battle with 25-year-old Eliza Samudio, a former model who became pregnant with Bruno’s child and demanded that he acknowledge the baby and provide financial support. Eliza reported threats and violence, sought protection from the courts, and warned that she feared Bruno would kill her. Then, in June 2010, she disappeared. Eliza’s remains have never been found, but in 2013, Bruno was convicted for his role in her kidnapping and murder, transforming one of Brazilian football’s brightest stars into the central figure of one of the country’s most infamous crimes.Follow/Subscribe wherever you are listening!Join our Patreon family!
