The case of the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandia 15-year-old girl from the Vatican, remains unresolved 40 years later. A story shrouded in mystery that begins on June 22, 1983, the last day Orlandi was seen alive, when she was returning from a music class in Rome to her house in her Vatican.
Without leaving a trace, and without a single clue as to what happened to her that afternoon, Speculation grows about who is behind his disappearance And they grow over the years. Was it the mob? The intelligence services? The Roman curia? The testimony of a friend of Emanuela’s recently collected in the Netflix documentary ‘The Girl from the Vatican: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi’ points to this last theory: she assures that a senior Vatican official made a pass at her just a week before his disappearance.
A revelation that would have prompted, in part, that the Vatican has now decided to reopen its case 40 years later. The decision has been welcomed as something “very positive” by the young woman’s family, who has never given up on her search. The Orlandi family lawyer, Laura Sgrò, filed complaints in 2018 and 2019 and various instances until last year, but she does not know the reason that led to the reopening of the investigations and hopes to meet soon with the Vatican promoter, Alessandro Diddi.
Throughout all these years, they say, they have received evidence that could shed light on what happened to their sister. Like the anonymous letter that, in 2019, they received: the photo of a tombstone with an angel and behind it a mysterious note that said “Look where the Angel is pointing.”
The Vatican agreed to open two tombs and they were completely empty. In April 2020, the Vatican Prosecutor’s Office closed the investigation into the search for possible remains of the girl in the German cemetery in Vatican City.
According to Italian media, It is Pope Francis himself who wants to know the truth on the Emanuela Orlandi case.
