“During a long interrogation we objected to many inconsistencies”, added prosecutor Zuccaro, who added that later the mother took the investigators to the place where the body of the little girl was found and after taking her statement again He confessed to killing his daughter.

The young mother, about 20 years old, resident in the town of Mascalucia had reported that 5-year-old Elena was kidnapped while in the car with her in the small town of Piano di Tremestieri Etneo, when three armed hooded men opened the door of the vehicle and took her daughter away.

The photo of the girl had been disseminated by law enforcement and published in all the media in an attempt to facilitate her whereabouts.

The investigators ruled out almost from the beginning that it was organized criminals or a kidnapping for ransom and directed the investigations to the family environment.
