The family of Emanuela Orlandi, the Vatican teenager who vanished in 1983, is reacting to a major breakthrough in one of Italy’s most notorious unsolved cases.
Authorities have now opened a criminal investigation into Laura Casagrande, the childhood friend who may have been the last person to see Emanuela alive before she disappeared while walking to her music lesson near Vatican City.
Investigators believe her statements from the reopened inquiry contain serious inconsistencies that could hide crucial information.
