Rui Pedro disappeared 20 years ago. He was eleven years old and was last seen after lunch by colleagues.

Rui Pedro, whose disappearance occurred 20 years ago in Lousada where he lived with his parents, is, along with Madeleine McCann, one of the seven children on the Judicial Police list of missing persons.

According to the page of the Judicial Police, Rui Pedro Teixeira Mendonça, born on January 28, 1987 in Paredes, disappeared on March 4, 1998. At the time, at age 11, he was 1,50 meters tall, with hair and eyes brown and weighed 45 pounds.

Just 15 years after his disappearance, on March 4, 2013, the judges condemned the truck driver Afonso Dias with an effective sentence of three years, believing that he had taken Rui Pedro to Alcina Dias, a prostitute whose testimony was allegedly devalued in Lousada, for contrary to what had been investigated in 1998.

Afonso Dias, after leaving jail, continued to claim innocence, ensuring that he never knew what happened on March 4, 1998, when Rui Pedro, his friend, disappeared.

Another disappearance whose mystery was not revealed is that of the English child Madeleine McCann, a native of Leicester, who disappeared on May 3, 2007 from the room of the Ocean Club hotel, Lagos, Algarve, where he was having holidays with his parents and twin brothers .

The girl, who has a blue and green left eye and a right brown spot on her iris, is therefore easily identifiable, never appeared, despite the efforts of the Portuguese and English police and all international judicial cooperation.

Of the seven children on the missing list, the earliest case dates back to January 28, 1990, when Hélder Alexandre Ferro Pagarim Cavaco (born in 1973) disappeared from Santiago do Cacém. Disappeared in the area of ​​the beach of San Torpes. He was a surf man and wore blue jeans and blue jeans.

Another of the older cases is reported on May 13, 1994, when Cláudia Alexandra Silva and Sousa, a native of Oleiros, disappeared at the age of seven.

Daughter of a poor family of Lamela (Oleiros), disappeared on the way to the school, having run several versions on its disappearance, but none of them was confirmed.

For her part, Sofia Catarina Andrade de Oliveira, the daughter of a fisherman from Câmara de Lobos, disappeared on February 22, 2004, with only two years, in a case where there was a suspicion of parental abduction, but which still remains in mystery.

Tatiana Paula Mesquita Mendes, a child born in Guinea-Bissau, was found missing in May 2005, after being adopted by a couple with the agreement of the mother, and the adoptive mother said that she had been delivered by herself to another person , still in 2004, and that the girl had died in a car accident in Spain. Your case is still on the PJ's missing list. He would be nineteen years old today.

Rita Slof Monteiro, who disappeared on 17 February 2006, is another of the faces on the PJ's missing list.
At the age of 18, Rita Slof Monteiro left that morning from home to go to her friends at the market in Matosinhos to take the bus to school. On that day he had a study visit to the Serralves Foundation. He never showed up again.
