"The Federal Court in Brazil issued an order for visitation permitting David to see Sean for the first time in four years. David flew to Brazil for a visit scheduled for Friday 17 Oct at 8:00 PM. Sadly the visit did not happen, the visit was delayed until Saturday but now - Sean has disappeared...... .

We arrived a little before 8 AM to the address filed in State and Federal court by Lins e Silva as Sean's address. I walked up to the gate outside the condominium with two plain clothed Federal agents, three Federal court officers , one U.S. consular officer and my Brazilian attorney. I waited outside the building while the Federal court officers and agents presented the order for visitation to the security of the building. They all went into the condominium to meet Lins e Silva and ultimately begin the visitation process for Sean and I. We hoped Lins e Silva would cooperate and handle the delicate situation with compassion for Sean.
I remained outside the gate preparing myself as best I could to finally after four + years to reunite with my son. Twenty minutes later the Federal agents/officers appeared WITHOUT SEAN.
In the apartment were Bruna's father, brother, the new baby and some servants. NO SEAN and NO LINS E SILVA. The Fed agents were told that Lins e Silva and Sean went away yesterday and they are not sure where they went. The agents checked the apartment and did not find Sean or Lins e Silva. The security of the building said they don't think Sean lives in the condo because they don't see him there all the time.
As is becoming the normal the most egregious behavior by Lins e Silva and the Ribeiros keeping Sean and I separated has continued. Actually, now it is worse, because they are disrespecting even a Brazilian Federal Court order and up until now getting away with it
The Fed officers will report back to the Fed judge of the events that occurred. It is Saturday morning and I don't know when the Fed. judge will learn of this morning's events. I hope Monday the latest.
How long can Lins e Silva and the Ribeiro's continue this blatant disregard of the law? How long can they obstruct justice? Will they ever be held accountable?
So once again I'm in Brazil without any contact with my son, while his kidnappers go about their daily lives unscathed. I will not give up. I am not sure how long I will remain in Brazil. I just can not believe that such evil and illegal behavior with complete and flagrant disregard for my son as well as for the Brazilian, U.S. and international law can continue. I will keep everyone posted. I will not give up on my son......EVER!
