South American soap opera star Jefferson Machado has been found dead – months after he went missing. According to the local media outlet R7, the 44-year-old actor was reported missing on January 27 by his loved ones after they discovered his eight dogs alone at his house.

Here’s where things get odd in this case. For a while, per the New York Post, the family received several text messages from someone they now believe was impersonating Jefferson.

His mom Maria das Dores shared with the outlet that she was very suspicious of the texts. Why? She said they were filled with spelling mistakes and didn’t sound like her son at all.

After nearly five months, police in Brazil have a heartbreaking update on the case. The outlet reported that authorities found the remains of Jefferson stuffed inside a truck, which had been encased in cement and buried in the backyard of a home in Campo Grande, Brazil, on Monday.
