Father asks for return of missing teenager in Anápolis after running away from home

Fábio Soares, Ana Clara Alves Silva's father, cried when asking for help to find her during an interview with TV Anhanguera and appealed to his daughter: "Come back home, my daughter. Our family is devastated" (see above). Fábio says he didn't know that his daughter used the platform or who she was talking to.

According to the Civil Police (PC), the teenager has been missing since the early hours of Sunday (6), when she ran away from her home, in Anápolis, in the central region of the state, leaving a farewell letter to her family.

Geovana Santos, the girl's aunt, said that the teenager's friends said that her boyfriend, who would be 28 years old, wanted to take Ana Clara to live in Canada. To g1, delegate Aline Cardoso said that she is still listening to the teenager's family members to gather more details about the disappearance.

Ana Clara left a letter to her family saying goodbye, without saying where she was going. In it, the girl also writes that she loves her family very much, that the decision she made was "difficult" and that she doesn't know when or if she will return.

Look, please don't feel bad, be happy even if it's difficult. I may be gone, but our memories are still here, okay?

I'm probably too far gone now. I love you and dad. I love it very much. This decision I made was very, very difficult. Listen to the songs I listened to with you. I don't know if I'll go back. Maybe I'll come back maybe I won't...

I appreciate everything we went through together, I love you! Surprises happen all the time. Please just let me live. And I want you to live your life normally. Grow up and be happy. Get married, have children and be a source of pride for your father and for us, even if alone. I know you can do it. I'm always by your side. Follow your dreams and be very happy. For me. And don't think too badly about killing yourself.
