What Happened To Elize Matsunaga's Daughter?

Publish date: 2024-05-17

From the prosecutor's perspective, the murder was premeditated. In court, they brought up Elize Matsunaga's troubled childhood in Chopinzinho, Paranã, a small rural community 250 miles from Brasília, and her past as an escort to maintain the murder was planned to avoid being replaced. Marcos' death would likely grant her freedom from an unfaithful spouse. The Netflix docuseries highlights the forensic evidence, which doesn't support much of her version, but suggests she shot him once he returned from getting pizza and didn't see it coming.

The trial began on November 28, 2016, and ended on December 5. Her prison sentence for concealment of a corpse and aggravated homicide was 19 years, 11 months, and one day. But, her sentence was reduced to 16 years and three months in 2019, according to Esta de Minas.

In Episode 4, Eliza says the only person she would tell everything to is Helena. "I can't talk about everything. There's stuff here that I wasn't able to expose. That I couldn't dive into. That I couldn't put into words. And there are secrets in life that we take with us to the grave," she said, per Netflix.

The court granted custody of Helena to the paternal grandparents. Elize has not seen her daughter, but hopes she will someday. Helena is aware of what transpired, and whether Elize and Helen will unite remains to be seen (per Cinemaholic).
