Nuno Morais, a college classmate, told Publico, the Lisbon newspaper, that after Neves Valente left Brown he returned to Portugal, where he worked for an internet-services provider and a telecom company. Some former classmates are speculating about his mental health and whether he envied Loureiro’s successful career.
In 2017, Neves Valente came back to the U.S. through the diversity lottery immigrant visa program and was given a green card.
