Jonathan Manuel Zambrano Acosta, a 29-year-old Venezuelan, has been missing since March 12 after being seen walking towards a dune area in Florianópolis.
A missing person's investigation is underway in Florianópolis, where 29-year-old Venezuelan Jonathan Manuel Zambrano Acosta was last seen on March 12. Surveillance footage captured him leaving his motorcycle near the Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes Church and walking toward the beach dunes along a trail. His friend Joseth Lobo mentioned that Jonathan frequently engaged in outdoor activities and had moved to Santa Catarina eight years prior for better living conditions.
The Civil Police, spearheaded by investigator Abel Mantovani Bovi from the Missing Persons Police Station, is coordinating search efforts in the area where Jonathan was last seen. As of Thursday, March 19, local firefighters have been deployed to conduct searches along the coastal dunes. However, the details of the search operations, including specific search areas, have not been explicitly outlined by the authorities, raising concerns about the urgency of the case.
The disappearance of Jonathan highlights ongoing issues related to the safety of migrants in Brazil, particularly those who have fled crises in their home countries. The investigation continues, and there is growing community interest in finding him, as his friends and family are actively seeking information about his whereabouts and urge anyone with knowledge of his disappearance to come forward.
