lead masks case

Do we know if the masks were homemade or purchased from a specific supplier? It would be interesting to see if others in their community were buying the same materials.
This reminds me of the Dyatlov Pass incident. Both involve groups following a strange plan in a remote area and leaving behind baffling physical evidence that never quite adds up.
The article mentions the masks were crudely fashioned from lead plates. They weren't professional equipment, which contradicts the idea of them being sourced from a specialized supplier.
The real win here is how this case forced investigators to actually document the spiritualist subcultures of 60s Brazil. It turned a weird crime scene into a sociological map of the era.
The "corporate" label feels off. A few scribbled notes about meeting times and signals sounds more like a poorly planned scavenger hunt than a business trip.
It is worth noting that lead shields against certain types of radiation. This suggests they weren't just following a script, but were attempting a specific physical protection against a perceived environmental hazard.
The phrasing in the notebook is remarkably clinical. It lacks the typical emotional or spiritual fervor found in most occult communications of the 1960s.
You're overlooking the fact that the autopsy results were inconclusive or missing. We can't determine if the clinical nature of the notes matches the physical reality of how they died.
