Community and Authorities Mobilize

Within hours of their disappearance, authorities and residents sprang into action. Police squads, volunteers, and neighbors distributed posters and shared updates across social media in hopes someone had seen the twins. Teams used drones, ground searches, and patrols to comb areas around homes, bus stops, and common city routes where the girls may have ventured.

The community’s concern intensified after unconfirmed reports of sightings near the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), giving friends and family a renewed sense of hope.

The Emotional Discovery

Nearly 24 hours after they disappeared, authorities received the call everyone had been waiting for: Carolina and Luiza had been found safe.

They were located at Espaço Acolher Floripa, a shelter set up at the old Florianópolis airport that provides support and protection for vulnerable individuals. Local child protection services confirmed that the sisters had been seen in the area and were brought to the facility, where they were cared for and monitored before being reunited with their mother.

A Tearful Reunion and Relief

Witnesses described the reunion between Daniela and her daughters as a moment of intense emotion — a blend of tears, hugs, and overwhelming relief. For a family that had endured hours of fear and uncertainty, this outcome was nothing short of a miracle.
