According to the Daily Mail, the journalist, who had worked for outlets such as Al Jazeera and various British news websites, was found in a hostel in São Paulo, as announced by the police. It was clarified that she stated she does not wish to have any contact with her family.

Pitt had disappeared in early February, prompting concern from her loved ones about her whereabouts. However, police confirmed that she had deliberately cut off all communication, and the case has now been closed.

Her Trip to Brazil and Journey to Rio

The journalist traveled to Brazil in November 2024 without informing her family. In early February, she was seen boarding a bus from the Tietê station in São Paulo heading to Rio de Janeiro. She was also spotted at a bar near Copacabana beach, and Brazilian media published photos of her taken on February 15 at a seaside bar.

According to reports, Pitt arrived in Rio on the night of February 8. She initially stayed in a hostel in Copacabana until the 17th of that month, after which she moved to another hostel in the Botafogo neighborhood.

Family and Friends’ Concerns

Her disappearance was reported by a friend in Rio, with whom she had last communicated on February 8. The friend mentioned that Pitt was in São Paulo and planned to travel to Rio in search of accommodation. When she did not respond to subsequent messages, her friend and relatives grew increasingly worried.

The case also garnered media attention in the UK, with her father, Derek Pitt, stating: “I wouldn’t say it’s normal. Clearly, something was bothering her; otherwise, she would have contacted us.”

Her Post Before Disappearing

Just four days prior to leaving São Paulo, Pitt posted an ad on a Facebook group seeking a room to rent in London. She wrote: “Hello, I am looking for a double room in South or East London… I am 32 years old, a journalist, organized, I enjoy reading, exercising, and having discussions with friends.”

Ultimately, the case of the 32-year-old’s disappearance has had a good ending.
