The police did not name the two former officials but state news outlet Agencia Brasil said they were Funai's former president Marcelo Xavier and former vice president Alcir Amaral Teixeira. Phillips, a freelance journalist who wrote for outlets including the British newspaper The Guardian and the Washington Post, was on a reporting trip with Pereira in the Amazon rainforest's Javari Valley.
