OMG he is such a precious little boy. It is very worrying. Thanks for posting junanny and we'll do our best. Maybe pass it on to Portuguese posters too as common language and connections may travel. Hope he is found very soon. It must be unbearable for the family.

TRANSLATING A LITTLE BIT.

Lucas disappered on June 21st, 2008 from his grandmother's house in a small Town located in São Paulo Brazil while he was playing with his older brother outside. His father is offering about 30.000 reais, about $20.000 American dollars for someone that knows anything bout Lucas, but unfortunately no one yet knowns where he is. The Police are still looking.

At this AD, they said that a Carpenter from Bahia, Brazil was trying to get the money Luca's father is offering by lying that he had the boy, but after the Police found out that was a lie they put him in jail on July 16th.

Sorry about my English.
Thank you to all.

Sao Carlos Oficial

21 June 2010

Disappearance of Lucas Pereira completed two years Monday

A GOOGLE TRANSLATION

Lucas Pereira was only three years old when he disappeared.

According to information from the child's mother and father , he would have disappeared on June 21, 2008 , between 10:11 am.

Lucas was in the city of San Carlos with his brother and mother Marcelene Caio Erika who had left the engineer Carlos Ratto ( father of the child ) to 20 days.

He disappeared out of the grandmother's house to play with his brother in the city of San Carlos, 227 km from São Paulo. The first family was suspected that he might have been lost in the forest of the quarry , which lies near the house. The Fire Department, Military Police , relatives , family friends and even soldiers in the army reserve military involved in searches in the woods, but without success.

The disappearance galvanized the city.

The boy's father , the engineer Antonio Carlos Ratto , spread posters on buses and places of great movement in the city. Messages appeal was disclosed in car audio . In a church, the prayer requests to find the child are made every day .

The father of Luke, an official of Petrobras offers a reward of $ 60,000 to anyone with information leading to the child.

The disappearance of the boy Lucas Pereira, 3 years , complete two years now , and unfortunately there is still no news about the boy and , according to the Civil Police of San Carlos, the officer responsible , Geraldo de Souza Filho , said the searches by boy still and the suspicion is that it is in Rio de Janeiro. The hypothesis of a kidnapping pattern is discarded, since there was no ransom demand .

For the family the case would not stop until the child is not found, and if anyone has news of the Child no longer appears, therefore begs for a family recover the child!

I have no idea if he was ever listed on Missing Kids!!

I have added every single piece of information we have on the case but no luck.

This is the link for the search area of the site and there is a drop down option with English headings so the correct information can be put in the right place!!

Updated 21 September 2011
More than 3 years now, no sight or information about the little Lucas Pereira, missing in June, 21 2008 between 10am and 11am in Brazil, São Paulo State, City of São Carlos.
At this time, he was 3 years old, now he should have more than 6 years, almost 7. Remember that the photos should be enough to recognize him, but he should be somewhat different, bigger and probably thinner.
He is son of Engineer Antônio Carlos Ratto and his spouse, Marcelene Érika Pereira.

If you have any clues (if he is still alive, maybe it was far away from Brazil) please leave a message in the links here. Could be in English, any help will be appreciatte.




P.S.: There are a really weird rule that cannot let me post the correct links, I just register to help, and this kind of rule really didn't help... I put spaces on the link to work it out
