Mother searches for Brazilian son who disappeared in Rome: ‘I deserve an answer’

Without news of her son, Letícia began the search on her own. In a group of Brazilians living in Rome, she reported the case and reported the disappearance. One of the administrators contacted her via WhatsApp and advised her to contact the police. “We were unable to get direct news about your son, only that perhaps he was involved in a not very legal scheme here in Rome. So my advice is to the police,” the message said.

“I panicked like any mother who loves her child,” he said.. She quit her job and traveled to Rome. The seller has not yet discovered what the alleged “scheme” was that her son was involved in.

The Brazilian also said that she has received some anonymous messages after her son disappeared. “They say the friend who hired him knows what happened to him. Something is happening. I barely get out of bed, it’s been difficult. Every day I go looking for evidence, I receive hidden phone calls. They took my son and until now I don’t know if my son is dead or alive.”

During the investigation, Letícia discovered that her son’s bank account was being used. She recalled that she was relieved because if he was using the money it was a sign that he was alive. But the mother’s distress increased even more when she was informed that it was not her son who was using the bank card. “I was very happy to know about my son’s financial transactions, until I discovered the truth.”

This person, who hired him and calls himself a friend, was using his card. The story he told me is very strange and I don’t believe it. He told me that he and my son accidentally exchanged cards while using cocaine, back in December. And he only became aware of this in January.

Anonymous message sent to the mother says that the hiring friend put her son into a “scheme”. “My son didn’t have any addictions, yes, he was sad because of the end of his marriage, but he didn’t do anything wrong. I receive these messages accusing this supposed friend, but I have no proof. And I don’t know what scheme they are talking about. “, he lamented.
