Rescue teams scoured ravines and hillsides searching for survivors of landslides that have killed 72 people in the past days as hopes dimmed with each passing hour.
Searchers found four bodies in Angra dos Reis, a beach city 150 kilometers (93 miles) south of Rio de Janeiro and firefighters said they thought more bodies still could be found.
"One of the bodies was that of a baby who was not on the list of the missing. This baby was probably with adults who also were buried," said Pedro Machado, a civil defense official.
