Vatican reopens investigation into teen’s 1983 disappearance
FILE - Pietro Orlandi, right, brother of Manuela, a 15-year-old daughter of a Vatican employee disappeared in 1983, is flanked by his lawyer Laura Sgro, left, as he attends a press conference on the establishing of a parliamentary investigative commission on Manuela Orlandi and other cold cases, in Rome, Dec. 20, 2022. The Vatican has reopened the investigation into the 1983 disappearance of the 15-year-old daughter of a Vatican employee, months after a new Netflix documentary purported to shed new light on the case and weeks after her family asked the Italian Parliament to take up the cause. On Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, Pietro Orlandi called the prosecutor's decision a “positive step” that the Vatican has apparently changed its mind, gotten over its resistance and now will go over the case from the start.
