The Guaratuba child murders, also popularly known as the witches of Guaratuba or the Evandro case, is a series of child disappearances that happened in the city of Guaratuba, Brazil, in 1992, some of which were later confirmed as being cases of kidnapping followed by murder. It is one of the longest legal cases in Brazil, and in 2016 its official archive had 60 volumes with over twenty thousand pages. The case is now known for having involved multiple complex factors, such as a rivalry dispute between the military and civil police, alleged confessions under torture and kidnapping, as well as presence of political motivations to interfere in the legal case.
