American Model and Family Abducted at Gunpoint in Brazil, Held Captive in Isolated Cabin

New York-based model Luciana Curtis, husband Henrique Gendre, and their 11-year-old child were abducted at gunpoint and held captive in a remote shack in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for 12 hours. The family was ambushed by armed men outside a restaurant, forced into their car, and taken to a rudimentary shack where they were coerced into transferring money from their bank accounts. The couple’s daughter alerted police when they did not return home, leading to their rescue as police closed in on the area. The family was eventually found by locals in a passing truck and taken to a police station, where they provided statements for the investigation. The family was confirmed safe by a spokesperson, and Curtis, a well-known model who has worked with top fashion brands and celebrities, divides her time between New York, Sao Paulo, and London. The incident has left the family shaken but unharmed. Police are continuing to investigate the kidnapping, and the family is grateful for the support and concern from their fans and followers. This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that can exist in even the most seemingly safe places, and the importance of vigilance and quick action in dangerous situations.
