Association president Edmar Figueiredo, an experienced Brazilian TV journalist, said in the statement he signed: ‘The Brazilian Foreign Press Association (ACIE) would like to publicly express its concern about the disappearance of 32-year-old British journalist Charlotte Alice Peet and show solidarity with her family and friends.
Charlotte Peet, 32, was reported missing this week by a friend who she messaged on February 8 to say she was in Sao Paolo but was heading to Rio de Janeiro and was looking for somewhere to stay.
The unnamed friend who reported Charlotte missing told police she met her two years ago when she moved to the South American country to live and work.
The case was initially registered at Rio de Janeiro’s Tourist Attention Centre on February 17 before being passed on to Sao Paulo which is the last place Charlotte was supposed to have been before she disappeared.’.
The Brazilian Foreign Press Association called on police to step up their search for missing Charlotte Peet late yesterday.
