Whatever happened to Emanuela Orlandi?

[scotslad]

Rumours and stories of those in the vatican and their wicked perversions helped to cloud the story of the apparent disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi on June 22, 1983 - in mystery.

As a 15 year old, She disappeared from within the vatican city where her father worked in the vatican bank. Apparently was last seen in front of Sant' Apollinare, an Opus Dei church near Piazza Navona in Rome.

35+ years later, the Orlandi family's lawye has received an anonymous tip that could start the mystery unraveling, and it comes at a time when extraordinary allegations about sexual slavery elsewhere within the church have been acknowledged as true, including by Pope Francis.

Now, the family's lawyer has received an anonymous letter from inside the Vatican, accompanied by a photograph. It showed a stone angel at an unmarked tomb in the Teutonic Cemetery, which lies inside the Vatican walls.

Someone keeps a red votive candle lit at this tomb—only at this tomb— and there are always fresh flowers in a vase. The only thing engraved on it is a marble scroll the angel holds: Requiescat in Pace, it says. Rest in Peace.

Will questions get answered? Will secrets be uncovered or unearthed? Will the vatican want to assist the family in getting to the bottom of it - if indeed a mystery that involves the vatican - exists...

What happened to Orlandi? Who's responsible? Is the Vatican covering something up? ...or just another teenage runaway?

Wot u reckon?

Fascinating story! As well as the sex slave road some will go on, it could also have something to do with the work of her father in the bank.

Thousands of bones found in Vatican search for missing teen
Published time: 21 Jul, 2019 17:17

Thousands of bones have been unearthed by forensic experts from two ossuaries within the Vatican as part of an ongoing search for the remains of a missing Italian teen who disappeared in 1983.

Forensic workers extracted thousands of bones from the burial chambers that are believed to belong to dozens of people on Saturday. The Vatican did not speculate about who the bones may belong to, but a representative for the family of Emanuela Orlandi was present when the extraction took place.

The bones will now undergo DNA testing to establish their identities, and a Vatican representative said it’s impossible to predict how long the analysis will take. However, as Emanuela Orlandi’s brother pointed out (https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/21/europe/vatican-missing-girl-emanuela-oraldi-bones-discovered-intl-scli/index.html), if there are any “recent bones” among the find, “it will be a problem for the Vatican.”

The search for the daughter of a Vatican clerk who went missing 36 years ago has been fraught with peculiar twists and turns. The latest taking place on July 11 when an anonymous tip-off sparked a search of tombs where two 19th century princesses were believed to be buried.

However, the tombs were found to be completely empty, with no bones from either Orlandi nor the two princesses, who died in the mid-1800s.

Last week, Vatican officials announced that records show construction work carried out on the cemetery at the end of the 19th century and again about 60 years ago, might have led to the princesses’ bones being moved to the ossuaries located under a trapdoor of the Pontifical Teutonic College, which flanks the graveyard.
