Missing 4-Year-Old Found Safe After 48-Hour Search as Police Announce Arrests in Killings and Road Cases

Coordinated search tools and community alerts proved decisive.

Overview

  • Alice Maciel Lacerda Lisboa, a non-verbal autistic 4-year-old, was located alive about 2 km from her family’s home near a roadway by volunteers and was rescued by firefighters; she was evaluated at a hospital with no serious injuries reported.
  • The operation covered roughly 40 hectares and used canine teams, thermal drones and dozens of volunteers, with rain and steep, wooded terrain complicating efforts; the Justice Ministry’s Amber Alert tool was activated to mobilize nearby residents online.
  • In Belford Roxo (RJ), police arrested a suspect and seized a 9 mm pistol after shots struck a car, killing Sophia Loren Soares Camilo and wounding her father; in São Luís (MA), a 25-year-old suspect was detained after a robbery in which Windeberg dos Santos was fatally shot, with a motorcycle and phone seized as SHPP leads the case.
  • Road violence produced swift actions: in Guarapuava (PR) a pedestrian died after a crash sent a car onto a sidewalk and an unlicensed driver was arrested; in Fazenda Rio Grande (PR) a driver registered 1.8 mg/L on a breath test after plowing into patrons, leaving two in serious condition; in Bauru (SP) a man was killed while working on a sidewalk and the driver remains in preventive custody on suspicion of drunk driving.
  • In Belo Horizonte (MG), a 22-year-old father was detained on suspicion of maltreatment after his 11‑month‑old died with head and neck injuries, with police and forensic teams probing conflicting accounts and the child’s prior medical history.
