The 52-year-old man worked as a bricklayer and lived with his mother, on Rua da Serra. He left home on that fateful early morning of March 23, when the force of the flood waters invaded the streets of the peaceful town.

The searches

► Following international protocols and using advanced technologies, the Fire Department teams extensively explored the Muqui do Sul River, covering around 39 kilometers to the Itabapoana River and another 48 kilometers to its mouth at the sea in the city of Presidente Kennedy.

►They also investigated the Córrego da Serra area, due to the force of the water that made it rise. The selection of locations was based on data such as the position of the victim, the quantity and strength of the water, as well as detailed analyzes of the flood flow.

► All search points and areas were meticulously georeferenced

In conversation with the reporter, Cristiani Firmino — who is Lailson’s sister — spoke about the sad situation with no outcome and about the desire to find her brother, even with the possibility that he was dead. She also lamented about their mother, now elderly. “She is very shaken. Very sad.”

The hope we have is to at least find the body and allow for a burial.
