Feb 20, 2025, Brazil: Brazilian authorities said on Wednesday that they searched for a British journalist who has been missing for 11 days in the South American country. Sao Paulo’s public security secretariat stated in a statement sent to AFP that police were “carrying out investigations to locate the missing person and clarify the facts.”
The father of a British journalist who is missing in Brazil has said her disappearance is “very worrying” and he is “very concerned”. Derek Peet (the father) and his daughter Charlotte Alice Peet, 32, flew to the South American country, where she had worked as a freelance correspondent, without telling her family.
The Association of Foreign Press Correspondents in Brazil (ACIE) on Tuesday raised the alarm over the disappearance of Charolette Aalice Peet, 32. Peet, a freelance reporter who described herself as fluent in Portuguese on her LinkedIn profile, was last heard from on February 8 when she contacted a friend in Rio de Janeiro via Whatsapp saying she planned to travel to the city from Sao Paulo and needed a place to stay.
A few days later, Peet’s family in the United Kingdom contacted the friend to say that they had lost contact with her. The foreign correspondent’s association said the statement. While in Brazil, Peet reported for various publications and wrote on LinkedIn.
