Human remains unearthed on a Vatican-owned property in Rome may hold
the key to solving the mystery of an Italian teen girl who vanished 35 years

The bone fragments were discovered during construction work at the
Vatican’s embassy to Italy in the upscale neighborhood of Parioli, the Vatican
said late Tuesday.

of the remains — detectives will be looking in particular at whether they are a
DNA match for Emanuela Orlandi — the daughter of a Holy See employee at
the center of one of Italy’s darkest mysteries
