Amazon River, Brazil

A body is found floating in the river in Vila Progresso, a small village in the Bailique Archipeligo of the Amazon river's estuary near the Atlantic Ocean. Here the Fluvial Court has docked for a 2 night stay. The body which seemed to have stab wounds was buried and will later be exhumed to verify whether it is that of a missing Swedish sailor. This is the area where famed New Zealand America's Cup sailor Peter Blake was murdered.
