Alagoana has been missing in MT for 10 days; children found alone

Bruna Patrícia da Silva Pessoa, a 31-year-old woman from Alagoas, has been missing in Água Boa, MT, for 10 days, leaving her three children alone at home.

Bruna Patrícia da Silva Pessoa, 31, has been missing for ten days in Água Boa, Mato Grosso, Brazil. She was last seen leaving her home last Monday, after which her friends and family reported her disappearance. The alarming situation was highlighted when it was discovered that her three children—aged 14, 10, and a nursing infant—were left alone at home, prompting immediate intervention from the authorities.

The Civil Police became involved following the report of her missing status. The responsible officer, Bruno Gomes, stated that Bruna has no criminal record, which adds to the concern about her sudden disappearance. While the children were placed in protective custody initially, the Guardianship Council is working to reunite them with family members in Alagoas. Bruna reportedly left her phone with one of her daughters while taking the teenager's device, leading investigators to suspect that it may provide clues about her whereabouts as they work to find her.

Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are conducting analyses of the seized phone in hopes of discovering more information that could lead them to Bruna. This case highlights the urgent and distressing situations that arise in domestic contexts, prompting a swift response from the community and law enforcement to ensure the welfare of the children and the safe return of their mother.
