Emanuela Orlandi, who was the recent focus of the Netflix series 'Vatican Girl,' was the daughter of a Vatican employee and lived inside Vatican City when she went missing after a music lesson outside an Opus Dei church near Rome’s Piazza Navona.
In a shocking twist to a four-decade-old missing persons case, the Vatican’s judiciary arm said it would reopen the cold case of Emanuela Orlandi, a 15-year-old girl who disappeared in 1983. Orlandi, who was the recent focus of the Netflix, was the daughter of a Vatican employee and lived inside Vatican City when she went missing after a music lesson outside an Opus Dei church near Rome’s Piazza Navona.
Over the years, dozens of conspiracy theories have all led back to the Vatican, including that she was taken as a sex slave for priests, or as ransom by mobsters who lost money in the Vatican Bank. The Vatican has even opened tombs searching for her remains. The family has petitioned for the case to be reopened for years, and it’s unclear if the Netflix series, which used the old missing person posters as advertisements in Rome, led to any new evidence.
