#36 The disappearance of the boy scout Marco Aurélio.
He disappeared during a hiking trip at the Marins peak after the lead scout got injured and sent Marco Aurélio ahead of the group to mark their way down back to camp. The group followed his markings up to a point until it stopped and got lost themselves, a day later the group arrived at camp (should have been just a couple of hours) coming from a different side of the mountain because they got horribly off track, but Marco wasn’t there to rendezvous. His disappearance mobilized the largest search party in Brazil’s history involving the firefighters, police and thousands of volunteers. 40 years have passed but the boy has never been found.
