The mother of pilot Pedro Rodrigues Parente Neto, known as Pedro Buta, 37, is looking for her son, who disappeared after taking a flight in Venezuela with a single-engine plane, on the 1st.
THE CNN Maria Eugenia Buta says that So far there are no clues as to where the pilot might be . She left Rio de Janeiro, where she lives, and went to Roraima in search of information about her son, in addition to traveling to the state to carry out bureaucratic procedures with the police.
Pedro’s mother says she believes there was no plane crash, either in the Brazilian or Venezuelan Amazon.
According to her, there are many controversies in the story of her son’s disappearance.
Eugênia managed to contact the owner of the plane that Pedro was providing services to when he disappeared, businessman Daniel Seabra.
After Pedro disappeared, when she got the phone number and contacted Seabra, Maria Eugênia said that the businessman asked her how the pilot’s family had found out his number.
Seabra told Buta’s mother that he had not been in contact with the pilot for three days. Maria says that Pedro always warned her that if anything happened, the people who hired his services, in this case Seabra, would notify the family, which did not happen.
When Pedro’s brother contacted Daniel, the businessman reinforced that the pilot was in Bahia, without informing the real location to which Pedro had flown.
Furthermore, Maria states that Pedro had complex work experiences in the Amazon region between the end of 2023 and the beginning of this year, which made her not want her son to work professionally in the area. The pilot, however, lied about the destination he was working, claiming it was in Bahia.
Maria also had access to the messages exchanged between the pilot and the businessman. She points out that in the text conversation between the two, she discovered that the owner of the plane warned Pedro that upon entering Venezuela, the aircraft’s transponder, which is the electronic device that helps identify planes on air traffic control radar, should be turned off, as the flight could not be in Venezuelan territory. The order was obeyed by the pilot.
THE CNN seeks businessman Daniel Seabra for a position.
Last contact
The last contact between Pedro and his mother was on September 1st, the day he disappeared, around noon. The conversation between them was brief, as it was on the other days they spoke, as the pilot said that the internet signal in the region that was supposedly in Bahia was bad.
Pedro’s mother also claimed that the Itamaraty, to date, has not provided any assistance to the family. CNN sought the folder for a position, but had not received a response until the publication of this note.
“I want to know where my son is. He’s been missing for 12 days. The plane didn’t disappear, but my son did,” says Maria Eugênia when asked how she is doing in relation to the situation.
