Research boat Iara, anchored on the Rio Negro, two hours from Barcelos, 5:30 am. The pilot found the cabin of botanist Aurélio Brandão, 62, empty.
At the stern, only his flashlight, switched off on the deck. The skiff is still tied up, and all around lie miles of black water and dense jungle. Divers have been searching since dawn.
Besides him, three people were sleeping on board. One of them knows why Aurélio never came back from the stern.
The boat's lab, benches lined with jars of leaves and roots, the generator humming and the dark jungle in the window.
