The case
The 37yearold actor Ricardo Merini has been missing since Saturday (21) in the Bela Vista area, in the center of São Paulo.
The artist was last seen leaving the building where he lives, and surveillance cameras recorded that moment. He wore a white Tshirt, a black coat, jeans and black sneakers with red details.
Ricardo had gone out to meet a friend, but never arrived at the planned location and stopped contacting friends and family.
A close friend noticed the disappearance and only contacted the police on Tuesday (24). Police officers from the 5th Missing Persons Investigation Station of the Department of Homicide and Personal Protection (DHPP) began the search.
During the research, the signal on his cell phone showed where he would be: a community in Jaguaré, in the west of the capital, known for its high number of kidnappings.
Officers were on scene asking if they had seen the man, searching for surveillance cameras and the exact location of the cell phone signal. However, nothing has been located so far.
According to delegate Ivalda Aleixo of DHPP, his friends claim that Ricardo knows neither the Jaguaré region nor the municipality.
The man does not take drugs or consume excessive alcohol. The family, which comes from Santa Catarina in the south of the country, is in the capital São Paulo to follow the investigation.
In addition, according to the delegate, since the disappearance was reported, the police had consulted all hospitals and the MedicalLegal Institute.
The missing person’s computer was also examined and nothing unusual was found.
An unidentified body was verified as it had some of Ricardo’s characteristics, but not the actor’s.
Investigators must interview friends, family and neighbors to find hostility or evidence of whether the disappearance was intentional or criminal.
The case is being investigated by the 5th Missing Persons Unit of the Department of Homicide and Personal Protection (DHPP).
