The Vatican has announced that it will be opening two tombs in a Vatican City cemetery to determine if the body of Emanuela Orlandi is buried there.
Her case, still unsolved, is very popular in Italy as it has been the focus of several conspiracy theories.
Emanuela Orlandi was fifteen years old when she disappeared on June 22, 1983 en route home from a music lesson in Rome.
A citizen of Vatican City, Orlandi’s father worked and lived in the Vatican.
On April 10, it was announced that the Vatican Secretariat of State had authorized an investigation into a grave in the Vatican that some believe could be where Orlandi’s remains are located. This came after the Orlandi family lawyer received an anonymous note suggesting that her remains were buried there.
