VATICAN MYSTERY: Holy city could hold key to finding teenager missing for 36 YEARS

Emanuela Orlandi disappeared 36 years ago and was last seen leaving a music class aged just 15-years-old. The daughter of a Vatican police guard has never been seen since vanishing in 1983. However, the holy city has received an anonymous letter, presented by her family lawyer, which states the teenager is located in a German cemetery within the Vatican walls.

The Vatican is yet to reveal if the claims are genuine but has confirmed it is looking into it.

Vatican spokesman Alessandro Gisotti said in a statement: “I can confirm that the letter by Emanuela Orlandi’s family has been received and the requests it contains will be studied.”

This news comes in the wake of reports in Italy’s Corriere della Sera daily on Monday of another location within the grounds where Emanuela may be found.

Lawyer Lauro Sgro received a note last year telling her to “look where the angel is pointing” occupied by an image of the tomb.

The tomb identified features a marble angel with “rest in peace” written in Latin.

However, tests completed on the tomb showed it had already been opened and the date encrypted was also different.

But Ms Sgro maintains she is able to “verify that some people knew there was a chance Emauela Orlandi’s body had been hidden in the German cemetery”.

This is not the first time the family has been alerted to the prospect of finding Emmanula.

Last year human remains were discovered on a Vatican property, however test showed the skeleton did not belong to the missing teenager.
