Student disappears after hitchhiking between SC and PR; police investigate
A young university student has been missing since the morning of Monday, July 20, after changing her travel plan between Joinville, in Santa Catarina, and Londrina, in Paraná. Mayara Kemmer Klaus, 18, informed her parents that she would travel by bus, but decided to use her own car, a blue Nissan Kicks, without communicating the change.
The case mobilizes family members and authorities, who investigate the vehicle’s atypical route and a curious discrepancy in the location of the student’s cell phone. The lack of contact and the lack of explanation for the changes in route increase the concern about the young woman’s whereabouts.
Change of plans and the beginning of Mayara’s disappearance
Mayara Kemmer Klaus, a student at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) in Joinville, left her residence on the night of Sunday, July 19th. The original plan, communicated to his parents, was to board a bus bound for Londrina, Paraná, where he would spend a vacation with his family.

However, the young woman chose to drive her own vehicle, a blue Nissan Kicks, without alerting her family about the change. Images from security cameras in the building where she lives in Joinville recorded her leaving alone with her car and suitcases on Sunday night, confirming the change of plans. The student should have arrived in Londrina on the morning of Monday, July 20, but was not seen.
Unusual car path and latest vehicle records
Police investigations indicate that Mayara’s Nissan Kicks took an unusual route, using secondary roads. The vehicle was detected passing through Campo Alegre, in Santa Catarina, on Monday morning, before heading towards Paraná.
The last known record of the university student’s car occurred in the city of Lapa, also in Paraná, when it passed through a radar on Monday. Since then, there has been no further confirmation of the location of the vehicle, and the young woman has not reached her final destination, intensifying the anguish of her family and the efforts of the police.

Mystery surrounds the location of Mayara’s cell phone and car
One of the most intriguing points about the disappearance is the difference between the last location of the vehicle and that of Mayara’s cell phone. In the same period in which the Nissan Kicks was caught on the radar in Lapa, the geolocation system on the student’s telephone device indicated that she was in Piraquara, Paraná.
The distance of 88 kilometers between Lapa and Piraquara raises questions about the situation. Investigators are still trying to understand whether someone else could have been driving the car or whether Mayara did not have her cell phone with her at the time of registration in Lapa, which complicates the lines of investigation. This discrepancy is a common challenge in missing persons searches, where technology, although useful, can present conflicting data.
Family actions and registration of the police report
Given the lack of news, Mayara’s father, Werner Klaus, filed a police report. He reported to the police that, when he looked for the bus company where his daughter allegedly bought the ticket, he was informed that there was no boarding record for the young woman.
The civil police continue their searches and investigate all possibilities, from a mismatch of information to more worrying scenarios. Mayara’s family remains distressed, awaiting any clue that could lead to the student’s whereabouts, reinforcing the importance of communication when changing travel plans.
