The kidnapping of 15-year-old Eloá by her 22-year-old ex-boyfriend Lindemberg Alves in the city of Santo André, São Paulo, shocked the country and was broadcast live on several television channels. Negotiations with police, testimonies from neighbors, speculation about the motive for the crime, suspense about the outcome, and even an interview with the kidnapper himself were broadcast for 100 hours. The event sparked endless debate, as the case became one of the most high-profile hostage crises in the country's history.
