A dossier on the infamous case of the disappearance of a teenage girl that was claimed to exist by her brother but denied by the Vatican has now been acknowledged as existing.
The Vatican’s Promoter of Justice, Alessandro Diddi, confirmed the existence of a file on Emanuela Orlandi, the daughter of a Vatican employee who disappeared in 1983 at the age of 15, and whose disappearance has gone on to become Italy’s most notorious unsolved cold case.
Over the past four decades, the fate of Orlandi, who came to be known as the “Vatican Girl”, has become the Italian equivalent of the Kennedy assassination, generating an enormous volume of speculation and conspiracy theories of all sorts.
