ROME—Nearly 40 years after a teen girl whose father worked inside the Vatican disappeared from an Opus Dei church in the Italian capital, her family might finally get some answers.
This week, Italian lawmakers filed a petition for a parliamentary inquest into the 1983 disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi, whose conspiracy-theory laden case was recently the subject of the Netflix docuseries “Vatican Girl.” The four-part series brought renewed attention to the case, with Netflix using the original missing person posters plastered around Rome as its advertising for the documentary.
The petition also calls for an inquest into the case of another missing girl, 15-year-old Mirella Gregori, who disappeared in Rome a month before Orlandi, and the murder of 21-year-old Simonetta Cesaroni, who was beaten to death in Rome in 1990 under suspicious circumstances. All three are Italy’s most talked about cold cases.
