Miss Brazil 2002, Taiza Thomsen, didn’t want anyone to find her, but now she’s out of luck. Her parents reported her missing from her home in Brazil 10 days ago, and after an exhaustive search, she’s been located in London:

Brazilian Federal Police said that the young woman made a phone call from London to announce that she is well and that she simply isn’t interested in having any contact with her family.

The ex beauty queen told police commissioner Marcos David Salem that she didn’t want to be found by anyone, not even by her parents, and that is why not even her close friends knew where she was, according to a police statement.

Brazil’s O Globo reports that the family will respect Taiza’s wishes for privacy and not try to contact her.

O Globo also mentions that it’s being reported that Taiza is working as a stripper in London, and that the BBC was contacted by the owner of a strip club to say that he had hired her after he heard about the investigation.
