Alexandre Alves Biography & Facts

The murder of Isabella de Oliveira Nardoni was one of the most infamous filicide cases in Brazil. On the night of 29 March 2008, the five-year-old girl Isabella died from severe injuries after being thrown out of the sixth floor of the building where her father Alexandre Alves Nardoni, stepmother Anna Carolina Trotta Peixoto Jatobá, and newborn half-siblings lived in North São Paulo. Investigations concluded that the girl had been physically abused by her father and stepmother and both were convicted for intentional homicide. Brazilian media has closely followed the case, offering continuous updates. A survey suggested that more than 98% of Brazilians are aware of her death—the highest percentage in the history of Brazilian media coverage research. Family Isabella was born on 18 April 2002 in São Paulo, Brazil, to Alexandre Alves Nardoni and Ana Carolina Cunha de Oliveira. Alexandre had met Oliveira when they were in school, and they dated for three years. Oliveira became unexpectedly pregnant with Isabella when she was 17 and, by that time, Nardoni was about to begin his law classes at college. While she was pregnant, they considered moving in together, but the relationship was already deteriorating; so, Oliveira chose to live with her daughter in her parents' house. Eleven months after Isabella's birth, Ana Carolina left Alexandre when she was convinced that he was cheating on her. At first, since she was too young, Isabella was constantly with her mother, but as the child grew they established a routine: Nardoni would have Isabella over from Friday to Sunday night twice in a month. By then, Nardoni was already married to Anna Carolina Trotta Peixoto Jatobá, with whom he had two sons, Pietro and Cauã. Nardoni began seeing Jatobá, who was his colleague at Law school, behind Oliveira's back while she was still pregnant with Isabella. He carried on with both relationships for a year, until Oliveira dumped him after she was convinced he was cheating on her. After Isabella's murder, Oliveira claimed that Jatobá was very jealous of her past with Nardoni. After some time, Jatobá took over talking with Oliveira about Isabella, instead of Nardoni. Oliveira also said that Nardoni's family avoided leaving Isabella with her stepmother, and that when Nardoni wasn't around, his sister would sleep with the family. A neighbor also told police Isabella's paternal grandmother said that Jatobá was crazy and was capable of someday dropping the girl from the apartment. A friend of Oliveira that chose to remain anonymous told press that Isabella sometimes came back from Nardoni's house crying, and she often wanted to go back to her mother earlier than expected. Murder At 22:30 BRT of Saturday, 29 March 2008, Isabella Oliveira Nardoni fell from the sixth floor of Edifício London, where her father, Alexandre Nardoni, lived with Isabella's stepmother, Anna Carolina Jatobá, and their two sons, Cauã and Pietro. She was found suffering from cardiac arrest in the front garden of Edifício London. Rescue personnel tried to resuscitate her for 34 minutes, but were unsuccessful. She died on the way to the hospital. Nardoni and Jatobá were taken to a local police station. Nardoni told police officers that when he arrived with the family at the building, Isabella was already sleeping, so he went up with her first. He left Jatobá with their sons in the car, placed Isabella in the guest room, turned on the bedside lamp and a lamp in the boys' room, locked the door and went back down to the car. According to Nardoni, he and Jatobá took Pietro and Cauã to the apartment and when they arrived there, he noticed that the light in Isabella's room was on. Nardoni said he didn't find Isabella in her bed when he returned to the apartment, and that she stayed from five to ten minutes on her own; he noticed the hole in the window's safety net, looked out and down and saw Isabella's body on the front yard. He yelled at Jatobá to call his father, which she did, and then she called her own father. Isabella's mother would later say in an interview that Jatobá was hysterical when they spoke on the phone, screaming that Isabella had fallen. According to Oliveira, Jatobá was screaming so much that she had believed Isabella had accidentally fallen into the building's pool and told her to perform CPR on the child. Once Ana Carolina arrived at the site and realized how badly injured her daughter was, she refrained from touching Isabella, out of fear of worsening her condition. She however often kissed her daughter, and told her to be calm and that everything was going to be all right, and that she loved her. Isabella was taken to a hospital, but she died as a result of her injuries. Burial Isabella was buried in the "Parque dos Pinheiros" Cemetery, in the São Paulo district of Jaçanã. The service was attended by 200 people. Investigation Investigators found Isabella's blood in Nardoni's car and in his apartment, on a towel and a diaper, her vomit on his T-shirt, footprints of his flip-flops on a bed next to the window through which she was thrown, and traces of nylon from the wire safety screen on his T-shirt. The police also found fragments of the safety screen on a pair of scissors inside the apartment. Although there was circumstantial evidence to suggest that Isabella was thrown to her death from a bedroom window, her injuries were not consistent with a falling death. Only her wrists were broken, in addition to the fact that she was still alive, albeit barely, when she was discovered. The IML (Instituto Médico Legal, or Legal Medical Institute) personnel announced that they found injuries unrelated to the fall on Isabella's body. The injuries suggested that she had been punched and asphyxiated before being thrown out of the window. On 18 April 2008, both Nardoni and Jatobá were indicted by the São Paulo Civil Police. They continued to claim innocence. Trial Alexandre Nardoni and Anna Carolina Jatobá's trial began on 22 March 2010, almost two years (to the day) after Isabella's death. On the first day of trial, Ana Carolina Oliveira testified. She said Jatobá was extremely jealous of her, and that Alexandre had once threatened to kill her and her mother and then vanish with Isabella when Ana Carolina confronted him over late alimony payments. She also said Anna Jatobá was the one to call her on the night of Isabella's death, and screamed to her that it was all her daughter's fault. Ana Carolina was later requested by the defense attorney to remain in the court house so she could meet with Nardoni and Jatobá. She remained in a tiny bedroom at the court house for three more days—until a psychiatrist said she was under extreme stress and she was released. On 25 March 2010, Alexandre and Anna Carolina Jatobá testified in front of the jury. Both denied having murdered Isabella. Anna cried during her testimony. Alexandre took the stand at 10:45 a.m, and was dismissed at 16:25. Alexandre told the jury that the cops res.... Discover the Alexandre Alves popular books.
