Here on Stolen Lives, we discuss brutal and heartbreaking crimes against children.

Themes may include child murder, torture, and sexual domestic and child abuse.

I do to my best to remain respectful for the babies in these stories, and leave out unnecessary

details that honestly, none of us need to know to understand the frustration of why and how

this ever happened. However, if you find any of these themes triggering this podcast may not be

for you. Listener discretion is advised. This week's episode is a listener's suggestion.

Thank you to Amanda for bringing Isabella's story to my attention.

I always appreciate suggestions from more international places, outside the usual suspects.

It does help us learn the procedures and legislation from other countries,

and maybe these learning experiences can be a good opportunity to improve what we do, or not to

do in some cases. Also, Isabella's story is from Brazil, and I struggle at times with pronunciation

of generic English. I do my research and have notes here on how to pronounce

some of the words, but I'm bound to still make mistakes. Please be kind in the comments and with

your reviews. This case is considered by many as Brazil's equivalent of the John Bonnet-Ramsey case,

with the exception that Isabella's case is solved. But just by the sheer amount of Brazilians that know of this case, the media coverage reached

98% of the population, but also because if you bring up what happened to Isabella to a Brazilian,

it will sure to bring up feelings of anger and shock, similar to someone in the United States

with John Bonae.

There is also a very good documentary on Netflix on this case that I highly recommend.

This case can get a little confusing at times, and this documentary is recommended

supplementary viewing here.
