4 days ago 1

Influencer Juliana Marins’ family is unveiling her heartbreaking final texts before she fell off a volcano and died.

In text messages shown on Fantastico and reported by The Mirror, Marins, 26, wrote: “Mami, I love you so much. I was heartbroken when we said goodbye. In fact, that’s the only thing that worries me: letting you, papi or my sister be disappointed. Other than that, I’m not afraid of much, much less trouble.”

Marins continued: “I was raised by a woman who can solve any problem and who is not afraid to take the plunge and go after her dreams. I am like that too. I have different desires and dreams. I love you all very much! And I will always be grateful for all the support, care and affection. That is what makes me fearless.”

News broke in June that Marins was climbing Mount Rinjani in Indonesia when she fell. It took days before rescue workers could reach her.

“The Brazilian government informs, with deep sadness, the death of the Brazilian tourist Juliana Marins, who had fallen from a cliff surrounding the trail near the crater of Mount Rinjani,” the Brazilian foreign ministry said in a statement translated by CBS News.

The statement continued, “At the end of four days of work, hindered by adverse weather, terrain and visibility conditions in the region, teams from the Indonesian National Search and Rescue Agency found the body of the Brazilian tourist.”

Marins was found unresponsive, Indonesia national search and rescue agency head Mohammad Syafii told the outlet. Her death was also confirmed by an Instagram account created to focus on the search and rescue efforts of Marins.

“Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was. With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive,” the post read. “We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received.”

Before Marins was found, authorities were planning to send rescuers via helicopter — a move Muhamad Hariyadi, the chief of the search and rescue office in the city of Mataram, called “very risky.”

When members of Marins’ family claimed that the Indonesian government faked a video of her rescue and had not been giving her food and water, Hariyadi denied the allegation and instead claimed that the rescue efforts had been thwarted by the terrain and fog.

Videos shared by the search and rescue team alleged that they believed they saw a flashlight and pole of Marins but were not sure because of visibility. Mount Rinjani National Park’s Instagram account claimed that the rescue helicopter couldn’t operate to the top of the mountain because of the weather. Indonesia’s Brazilian Embassy alleged to have been in touch with local authorities about Marins.
