The fiancé of Vitória Figueiredo Barreto, 31, a psychologist missing from Essex since March, has renewed calls for help finding her.
Vitória Figueiredo Barreto, a 31-year-old psychologist staying in Southend, went missing from Brightlingsea on 4 March. She was last seen on CCTV entering a boatyard at 12.16am. Before that, she had visited a friend at the University of Essex in Colchester on 3 March, travelling by bus to Brightlingsea around 1.30pm and later appearing on doorbell CCTV in the Hurst Green area at about 2.30pm. She was wearing a dark coat, blue turtleneck jumper, light-blue jeans and black trainers with light soles.
Near the eight-month mark since her disappearance, her fiancé Janilson Gomes Da Silveira Filho has made a fresh public appeal. In a social media video, he urged Essex Police, the government and local communities to continue searching. He asked residents to report any sightings of an unfamiliar woman in the area and to share information within their communities.
Mr Filho suggested that Ms Barreto may be experiencing memory loss and could be confused about her location. He also raised the possibility that she might be being held against her will and in need of help. He specifically appealed to the communities of Brightlingsea and Bradwell to assist in the search.
