Heartbreaking Disappearance in Cacilhas
Natalie, a 38-year-old nurse from Brazil, vanished while dining at a restaurant in Cacilhas, Almada, Portugal, on Saturday, September 21. Her father, a retired military officer from Rio de Janeiro, expressed his disbelief, stating, "She is a good person and very hardworking."
Last Moments at the Restaurant
During their lunch, Natalie and her father were in high spirits, celebrating his birthday. After ordering their meals, Natalie left the table to go to the bathroom, but she never returned. Her father noticed her absence only after an hour, prompting him to alert the restaurant staff. "I thought she might have stepped out to smoke, but she doesn’t smoke," he remarked.
Concerns Raised
Restaurant employees noted that Natalie left her belongings on the table, including her phone, purse, and backpack. The restaurant owner even suggested the possibility of kidnapping, although Natalie's father found the situation very strange. He clarified that his daughter’s boyfriend lives in Brazil, ruling out the theory of her meeting someone locally.
Ongoing Investigation
The Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) is actively searching for Natalie, considering all possibilities in the investigation. They have received several details from her father, including photos, and are currently analyzing her phone, which was found dead at the time of her disappearance. Official updates from the police are expected on Monday, September 23.
