Interpol Tools Offered in Eight-Month Search for Missing Siblings in Bacabal

Police Federal review of a formal request to issue an Interpol Yellow Diffusion could open cross-border tracking and repatriation options for the family.

Overview

  • Ágatha Isabelly, 6, and Allan Michael, 4, disappeared from the quilombo São Sebastião dos Pretos in Bacabal on January 4, 2026, and remain missing after eight months of investigation.
  • The Polícia Federal's international-cooperation unit contacted the family and offered Interpol resources, and the children's mother met PF representatives in São Luís on September 9 to discuss how those tools could be used.
  • The mother formally submitted a request for the PF to include the siblings in Interpol's Difusão Amarela and the PF's Directorate of International Cooperation is now analyzing the filing before any transmission to Interpol.
  • Authorities and the family stress that offering Interpol support does not mean the children have been found or that they were among the 163 minors rescued in a recent U.S. operation, and the Consulate is monitoring that U.S. case.
  • Local investigators continue work under segredo de Justiça, officials urge tips through official channels 190 or 181, and they warn that false social-media claims have complicated the probe and hurt the family.
