Vatican reopens investigation into teenager who went missing in 1983
When Emanuela Orlandi, then 15 years old, did not return to her family’s Vatican City
apartment after a piano lesson in 1983, her parents reported her missing. Since then, there have been various ideas that she was abducted by the Italian Mafia, the Russian Mafia, or the KGB; many of them are explored in the Netflix series. Though the Vatican has consistently denied involvement, a popular theory holds that Emanuela’s former place of residence may provide clues to her disappearance.
