207 remain missing, 741 dead

At least 207 people are still missing after Brazil's worst landslides in decades as the death toll from the disaster in a scenic mountain region reached 741.
The list of missing people released by the Rio de Janeiro state prosecutor's office -- the first official estimate of the number of missing since the catastrophe struck a week ago -- suggests the final death toll could be close to 1,000.
"There are families that were so decimated that there is no one left to confirm who's missing," said Roberto Botto, a spokesman for the Civil Defense agency in Nova Friburgo, where at least 345 people died.
