The mystery of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi’s disappearance has horrified and intrigued Italians for four decades and received renewed interest following the airing last year of the Netflix documentary “Vatican Girl.”Orlandi vanished June 22, 1983 after leaving her family’s Vatican City apartment to go to a music lesson in Rome. Theories over the years have linked her disappearance to everything from the plot to kill St.
Amid renewed interest in the case, Italian television channel La7 claimed an exclusive development in the investigation this week. The broadcaster cited a decades-old exchange of letters that referenced an apparent case of an Orlandi uncle making unwanted sexual advances toward one of Emanuela’s sisters in 1978. The suggestion was that the uncle, who has since died, might have been involved in Emanuela’s disappearance.
The sister, who had never told her family about the uncle’s behavior, told reporters the alleged advances were nothing more than verbal comments made when she was 21. She said they never amounted to anything and stopped immediately after she made her disinterest clear. In a statement Wednesday, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni confirmed that Vatican prosecutors had turned over to Italian prosecutors the documentation they had acquired during their investigation. He said the Holy See hoped to find the truth, “and that all hypotheses of investigation are explored.”
