Interpol Tools Offered in Search for Missing Bacabal Siblings

Overview

• On Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026, the Federal Police international-cooperation unit told the family it had Interpol resources available and received a formal request to consider issuing a Difusão Amarela (Yellow Notice) for Ágatha and Allan.
• Blood samples were collected at the PF superintendence in São Luís to allow genetic checks against children rescued in a late‑August operation in Florida, and a Brazilian consular representative is coordinating with U.S. authorities on identifications.
• Authorities and the family stressed that Interpol involvement and U.S. rescues do not confirm the children have been found and that no verified match has been announced.
• The state investigation remains active under judicial secrecy, and local officials warned that false social‑media claims have complicated the search and increased harm to the family.
• The procedural shifts could speed cross‑border tracing and repatriation if leads emerge, while the mother continues to press for answers after the siblings vanished on Jan. 4, 2026, from the Quilombo São Sebastião dos Pretos in Bacabal.
