After receiving an anonymous tip, police went looking for her, and found her at the room in a remote area outside the town of Uruburetama in Brazil.
They said the room smelled terrible, due to the urine and feces on the floor. It had no electricity and the only light was from the window, which was kept shuttered and locked most of the time. Police also recounted that she had ran over to them in excitement when they finally managed to break seven padlocks in order to get to where she was in.
The brother or father gave Maria Lúcia two meals a day. She was very skinny when police found her, but is now apparently gaining weight, and learning to speak and write again.
Authorities looked for her son, and have already identified him. They are arranging for a prompt reunion.
