Eliza was murdered at the age of 25, in 2010. Eight people were convicted of the crime, but, to this day, the model’s body has not been found. The main suspicion, based on witness reports, is that the body was dismembered and buried under a layer of concrete.

Former goalkeeper Bruno, with whom the model had a relationship, was sentenced in 2013 to 22 years and three months in prison for the crimes of homicide, concealment of a corpse, kidnapping and false imprisonment. The couple had a son whose paternity was not recognized by the former athlete at the time.

In January 2023, Bruno was released on parole, after the sentence was upgraded to the semi-open regime in 2018.
