Emanuela’s brother has been asking for the case to be reopened for some time
After so many years of filing the case, the Vatican reopens investigations into Emanuela Orlandi, the little girl who disappeared into thin air on June 22, 1983, after leaving the music class. For years, his brother has been asking for the case to be reopened and, perhaps, the recent Netflix series has prompted the Holy See to find those answers that no one has been able to give his family in 40 years.
There Vatican judiciary has decided to reopen the investigation into the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi, at the behest of the Gendarmerie and the promoter of Vatican justice. The decision was made following complaints and requests presented by the girl’s family.
The promoter Alessandro Diddi speaks of a duty: the Vatican judiciary has reopened the file on the disappearance of Emanuela, who vanished into thin air after a music lesson in Piazza Sant’Apollinareon June 22, 1983.
In 2015 the magistrates had closed the last investigation into the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi. Almost 40 years later, also thanks to the release of the docufilm Vatican Girl on Netflix, the Orlandi case is once again being talked about, with new leads that add to the already existing ones.
Since the case was dropped, new information has been revealed. Like Ali Agca’s letter to Emanuela’s brother, the audio on the reasons for the disappearance. But also the parliamentary commission of inquiry into unresolved Roman loved ones, such as the murder of Simonetta Cesaroni and the disappearance of Mirella Gregori. Another case perhaps connected to the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi.
After the release of Vatican Girl, the Vatican reopens the investigation into Emanuela Orlandi
Surely the release of Vatican Girl has rekindled the spotlight on the case. The documentary film traces the moments of the disappearance and the subsequent investigation. Bringing to light the many dark sides of the story.
Opening the file was a necessary act in the face of complaints from the Orlandi family.
The hope is that now, with the opening of this new file, the truth will come out. Next year it will be exactly 40 years since Emanuela disappeared into thin air.
