On Tuesday, a new development was added to the decades-long mystery surrounding the disappearance of a Vatican schoolgirl, as the missing girl’s brother met with a Vatican investigator authorized by Pope Francis to pursue the case wherever it may lead, regardless of the consequences.
Emanuela Orlandi, then 15, was a Vatican teenager who mysteriously vanished on her way home from a flute lesson on June 22, 1983. Her family were residents of Vatican City, where her father was a lay employee in the papal household.

Emanuela’s brother, Pietro, had been passionately fighting for a reopening of the case for some time. After several requests from him and the Orlandi’s family lawyer, Laura Sgrò, it was confirmed by The Vatican’s promoter of justice, Alessandro Diddi, that the case that has gripped the nation of Italy for years was back under formal investigation.
