Key Points:
- Emiliane Tamira, 24, was allegedly held captive for five days by her ex-husband, Aylton Rodrigues, in a rented house in Águas Lindas de Goiás, Brazil, after going missing on August 17.
- Police found Emiliane tied to a bed with chains, ropes, and handcuffs, with a mask restricting her breathing, and reported chemical burns around her mouth and eyes; she was reportedly drugged during captivity.

- The couple had lived together for nearly six years before breaking up in December 2025, with Emiliane stating Aylton could not accept the breakup and sought to control her, possibly to force reconciliation.
