The police quickly identified the victim’s partner, Jose Brito Dos Reis, as the main suspect.
He allegedly sent an audio message to the victim’s son confessing to the crime, as reported by Need To Know.
In the recording, he claimed that Isabel suffered a mental breakdown and that he strangled her after an alleged assault.
He then went on the run, but was found hiding out in a wooded area later that evening.
Police chief George Gomes said Isabel and Jose had been in a relationship for less than a year.
He added: “Everything indicates that this is a case of femicide.”
The victim’s daughter told her 404,000 Instagram followers: “Ever since I taught her how to use the internet, she’s always tried hard to film content even though she didn’t know that much.
“I told her she would become famous for showing her daily life on the farm.
“She loved nature, she fished, she worked, that’s why I named her Bebel the Adventurous.
“I will love you forever, Mum.
“Thank you for everything. I want you to be remembered like this: happy, even in the face of difficulties.
“If I am strong, it is because you taught me to be.”
Isabelly, who also has 845,000 TikTok fans, helped her mother on the road to becoming a content creator.
The victim launched her own Instagram page showcasing her life on the farm and love for fishing in her home city of Manaus, Brazil.
Isabel quickly racked up 32,000 Instagram followers before her alleged murder.
Her bio said: “A woman who’s happy with life.
“Adventurous, mother of three, 52 years old, a no-nonsense fisherwoman and businesswoman.”
The suspect remains in police custody as the investigation continues.
