Rui Pereira was 13 years old when he vanished in 1999 -- just a few months after Rui Pedro -- from the northern town of Famalicão. There was later a reported sighting of the boy in Switzerland, in the company of two Italians.

His mother, Laurinda Meira, also continues to believe he is alive. “He must be tall,” she said two months ago, when he should have been celebrating his 22nd birthday. “I would like to open the door one day and find him there.”

All his clothes and possessions remain in the exactly the same place as they were when he vanished from their lives. “I am sure that he is alive, but not totally well” she told Portuguese daily, Journal de Notícias.

Portuguese police travelled to Switzerland in 2003 to check through database of paedophile images, but they have so far drawn a blank.

Let's hope it comes to something.

Someone on SOS Madeleine has seen the story and said it was in a restaurant in Switzerland that a young person said he was when younger when he was removed from a street in PT but then he was forced by two males who were with him to leave that restaurant..

A blog with more information about Rui Pereira

The bullspeaks blog:

Rui Pereira was 13 years old when he vanished in 1999 — just a few months after Rui Pedro — from the northern town of Famalicão. There was later a reported sighting of the boy in Switzerland, in the company of two Italians.

His mother, Laurinda Meira, also continues to believe he is alive. “He must be tall,” she said two months ago, when he should have been celebrating his 22nd birthday. “I would like to open the door one day and find him there.”

All his clothes and possessions remain in the exactly the same place as they were when he vanished from their lives. “I am sure that he is alive, but not totally well” she told Portuguese daily, Journal de Notícias. “He could be into drugs, or prostitution or as a slave, we just don’t know.”

Portuguese police traveled to Switzerland in 2003 to check through database of pedophile images, but they have so far drawn a blank. The family has strongly criticized the Portuguese authorities, saying that the police did little to find their son. Supporters also mounted street protests when the courts tried to close the case.

Missing: 44 people were missing in Lisbon in February

"I will not stop searching for Rui"

In early February were given only 44 people as missing in the greater Lisbon area, data that does not concern Caniço Ramos, head of the PJ investigation of such crimes, given that a large number of people are found.

'The rate of settlement is located on the 93/94%, "he said in statements to the CM, advancing to last year there was a slight increase in the number of missing persons and located compared to 2007: two years ago 901 people disappeared and were found 825. In 2008 was given as missing in the Grand Lisboa, in 1043 people, and February 1 were located by the 44th day.

In the universe of people whose track was lost is Rui Pereira, who disappeared from Famalicão ten years, and Rui Pedro, since last 11 years is tomorrow.

This time, however, does not erase the hurt and there is no day when the parents of these young people do not believe them.

'My thoughts are always with him. I wonder where you are, what you are doing ', to Joaquim Pereira, a man whose family has broken down after the disappearance of the son John.

The wife, Laurinda, farewell to the factory where she worked, the brothers cannot hear the younger brother - the 'Ruca', as the treated tenderly - and Joaquim says that is still alive only by grandchildren. 'For ten years our life has been destroyed. That day took us a piece of my heart, but I never fail to seek my son.

About a month the process was transferred from Rui Pereira PJ for the Ministry of Public Famalicão. If in a few months does not arise if the new evidence is likely to be terminated.

Tomorrow is 11 years that Rui Pedro disappeared from Lousada. Although much weakened, his mother, Filomena Teixeira, do not quit. 'Every year that passes the despair is greater, but I have to believe that my son is alive. "

'MORE HAPPENS IN SUMMER': Caniço Ramos, the deputy Directornacional PJ

Correio da Manhã - The number of missing children has increased?

Ramos Caniço - The data show that the phenomenon has remained more or less controlled. What we noticed is that the peak periods have increased, the disappearances of minors are mainly in the warmer months.

- There are some complicated situations under investigation?

- In the area of Lisbon does not have any serious situation. But what happens is that where there is suspected criminal cases are not investigated by the section of the disappeared.

- It is true that the authorities will not begin the search 48 hours after the disappearance?

- This is one of those urban myths that we must defend. It is not true that only start to look after 48 hours and the numbers show that even younger children in the appearance it is after hours.

11 YEARS WITHOUT RUI PEDRO ...

Tomorrow makes 11 years that Rui Pedro, a native of Lousada, disappeared. The lowest was at 11 years and was last seen near the house. The research is still at its disappearance, but authorities have no clue to explain the disappearance of the couple, who now have 22 years. The mother, Filomena Teixeira, has convinced a constant struggle to try to discover what happened to the child.

.. AND 2 YEARS WITHOUT Maddie McCann

'It seems there is no evidence to ensure that Madeleine is alive', but 'there is nothing to suggest she is dead. " Words are the spokesman of Kate and Gerry McCann, Clarence Mitchell, who in an interview with newspaper 'The Independent' highlights the feelings of parents of missing British child in Algarve in 2007: 'As time passes it becomes each increasingly difficult.

Many young people disappear in Portugal for decades, but parents are rarely investigated or suspected / crimes hidden?

For these cases there was no political pressure or millionaires or funds dozens of police on the ground.

PJ did not give the same importance as MADDIE?
