Details of Disappearance
Cynthia, a resident of the 10700 block of Georgia Avenue in Wheaton, spoke to her father in Brazil,
just as she did every day. That was her last known contact with anyone. Braga's adult sister, who
lives in the area, also has not had any contact with her.
In December 2005, Montgomery County Police learned that Cynthia's husband, Roberto Ferreira Braga, had
physically assaulted his girlfriend in November 2005. He held a knife to her throat and threatened that
no one would ever find her body. He was arrested and charged with first-degree assault on March 10. He was
released on his own recognizance. Police now have reason to believe that foul play is possible in Cynthia's
disappearance.
