According to the documentary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ca00ZHJWKuA\">\u201cVatican Girl,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0a lack of initial clues led her family and friends to plaster thousands of posters throughout the city. They also placed advertisements in newspapers seeking tips.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">These efforts resulted in national media attention, with speculations ranging from clerical sexual abuse and coverup to mafia trafficking, and a Soviet conspiracy on behalf of the would-be Turkish assassin of John Paul II.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Italian media ANSA reported this week that Vatican Promoter of Justice Alessandro Diddi \u2014 who is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/corruption-trial-of-vatican-cardinal-postponed-after-prosecutions-reluctance-to-provide-evidence-to-the-defense_4035203.html\">leading the prosecution<\/a> in another high-visibility case of Vatican financial corruption \u2014 initiated a new probe into Vatican investigations spanning 40 years. Matteo Bruni, a spokesman for the Vatican, confirmed the report, stating it was initiated \u201con the requests made by the family in various places.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Despite the inference of Vatican wrongdoing, tips claiming knowledge of where the young teen could be located have all but been discredited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">In the summer of 2019, in an unprecedented action, the Vatican agreed to reopen the tomb of two German Princesses within the City State after anonymous tips claimed Orlandi\u2019s body had been buried within them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Orlandi\u2019s family members were present when the tomb was unsealed, but\u00a0only remnants of <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/vatican-bones-too-old-to-be-missing-15-year-old-girl-emanuela-orlandi-11772412\">ancient bones<\/a> were found. A childhood friend of Orlandi claimed the teen had told her a high-ranking cleric had made inappropriate sexual advances toward her in the days prior to her disappearance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-11340987\/Was-missing-Vatican-schoolgirl-15-molested-days-vanished-1983.html\">The witness, who remained anonymous,<\/a> said she was afraid to come forward with her story until the Netflix documentary was released.<\/p>\n<p>Another allegation of Vatican involvement came as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastampa.it\/vatican-insider\/en\/2017\/09\/18\/news\/vatileaks-the-vatican-expense-report-for-the-orlandi-kidnapping-1.34421978\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report through Italian media<\/a> in 2017, as part of the \u201cVatileaks\u201d scandal. These reports claim five pages of documents \u2014 without the usual official headers, stamps, or handwritten signatures \u2014 were obtained from the Secretariat of State.<\/p>\n<p>These documents were allegedly titled, \u201cSummary expense-report incurred by the Vatican City State for activities relating to Citizen Emanuela Orlandi (Rome 14 January 1968).\u201d They included the names of several high-ranking officials. In 2019, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, who worked at the Secretariat of State before being placed as Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.repubblica.it\/vaticano\/2019\/11\/01\/news\/orlandi_vigano_il_testo_della_prima_telefonata_sulla_scomparsa_e_negli_archivi_-240024012\/\">claimed<\/a> that he personally received the first phone call in the Vatican associated with the disappearance of Orlandi. As with several other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/44457\/cardinal-sarah-says-he-did-not-sign-letter-claiming-coronavirus-exploited-for-one-world-government\">allegations<\/a> from the Archbishop-in-hiding, however, no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastampa.it\/vatican-insider\/en\/2018\/10\/07\/news\/cardinal-ouellet-rebukes-vigano-accusations-against-francis-political-frame-job-1.34050854\/\">substantial evidence<\/a> has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americamagazine.org\/faith\/2018\/10\/19\/third-letter-vigano-repeats-accusations-offers-no-new-evidence-mccarrick-case\">presented<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\">Since the Promoter of Justice, Alessandro Diddi, is heading the new investigation from a position of ongoing financial probes, the 2017 theory associated with the Secretariat of State\u2019s financial support of an exiled Orlandi may be the starting point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VATICAN CITY \u2014 The Vatican is reportedly reopening an investigation into the 1983 disappearance of a 15-year-old girl after a Netflix documentary and multiple lawsuits renewed pressure for action on the cold case.
