Lenildo Frazão experienced a terrible moment on June 30. This Brazilian journalist was reporting on the disappearance of a teenager in the Mearim River, in Bacabal, in the province of Maranhão, in the Northern region. For a report of the report, he put himself in the water to show the depth of the place where the young Raissa (13 years old) had disappeared, when, suddenly, he felt something under his feet, says the newspaper “O imparcial”.
“I think there is something here, at the bottom of the water,” he said. Immediately, he fell, visibly shocked and frightened. “No, I’m not going further, I’m afraid. It looked like an arm … “Very quickly, the firefighters, who also participated in the research, confirmed that it was indeed the body of Raissa, found in the precise place where the journalist had entered the river.
The girl, who lived in the region, drowned when she was swimming with friends and had been missing since the day before. Its burial took place at the end of the afternoon, the same day, according to the Metropolitan site.com. The city of Bacabal has declared an official mourning of three days after the confirmation of its death. Friends and family members organized a vigil with candles and prayers to pay tribute to it.
