Emanuela Orlandi



Parliamentary inquest into ‘Vatican Girl’ mystery moves forward as pope acknowledges family’s pain

  • Emanuela Orlandi vanished 40 years ago last week, on June 22, 1983, after leaving her family’s Vatican City apartment to go to a music lesson in Rome
  • Theories over the years have linked her disappearance at age 15 to everything from the plot to kill St. John Paul II, a financial scandal involving the Vatican bank and Rome’s criminal underworld
