The move regarding missing 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi marks the first time the Vatican has publicly handed over documents to Italian authorities.
The Vatican announced Thursday that promising leads “worthy of further investigation” have surfaced exactly 40 years after the teen daughter of an employee vanished while living there.
Emanuela Orlandi, 15, disappeared in 1983 after leaving her family’s Vatican City apartment to go to a music lesson in Rome.“It has proceeded to examine the material, confirming some investigative leads worthy of further investigation and transmitting all the relevant documentation, in recent weeks, to the Prosecutor’s Office in Rome, so that the latter may take a look at it and proceed in the direction it deems most appropriate,” Diddi said in a statement.
Orlandi and her family lived inside the Vatican grounds while her father worked as an usher for the papacy.
