15yo Emanuela Orlandi Went Missing 29 Years Ago Rumored Buried At Vatican, Body Found

Ive been following this last couple months,rumor was she was killed and buried at vatican with mobster buried there

Mobster: De Pedis is believed to have been linked to the kidnapping and murder of Emanuela Orlandi who disappeared aged 15 in 1983

The Catholic Church's leading exorcist priest has sensationally claimed a missing schoolgirl thought to be buried in a murdered gangster's tomb was kidnapped for Vatican sex parties.
Father Gabriel Amorth, 85, who has carried out 70,000 exorcisms, spoke out as investigators continued to examine mobster Enrico De Pedis's tomb in their hunt for Emanuela Orlandi.
Last week police and forensic experts broke into the grave after an anonymous phone call to a TV show said the truth about Emanuela's 1983 disappearance would be 'found there'.
And although bones not belonging to the mobster were recovered they have not yet been positively identified as hers.
However Father Amorth, in an interview with La Stampa newspaper, said: 'This was a crime with a sexual motive.
'It has already previously been stated by (deceased) monsignor Simeone Duca, an archivist at the Vatican, who was asked to recruit girls for parties with the help of the Vatican gendarmes.
'I believe Emanuela ended up in this circle. I have never believed in the international theory (overseas kidnappers). I have motives to believe that this was just a case of sexual exploitation.
'It led to the murder and then the hiding of her body. Also involved are diplomatic staff from a foreign embassy to the Holy See.'

Today there was no immediate response from the Vatican to Father Amorth's claims.
But Vatican officials insisted they had always co-operated with the investigation into Orlandi's disappearance - a claim that her brother has often disputed.
Father Amorth is a colourful figure who in the past has also denounced yoga and Harry Potter as the 'work of the Devil'. He was appointed by the late Pope John Paul II as the Vatican's chief exorcist.
It is not the first time Father Amorth has raised eyebrows with his forthright views - two years ago he said sex scandals rocking the Catholic Church were evidence 'the Devil was at work in the Vatican.'

In 2006, Father Amorth, who was ordained a priest in 1954, gave an interview to Vatican Radio in which he said Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and Russian dictator Josef Stalin were possessed by the Devil.
According to secret Vatican documents recently released the then wartime Pope Pius XII attempted a 'long distance exorcism' of Hitler but it failed to have any effect.

Charismatic mobster De Pedis, leader of a murderous gang known as the Banda della Magliana, was gunned down aged just 38, by members of his outfit after they fell out.
Detectives investigating the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi, 15, in 1983, believe De Pedis is linked to her kidnap and the body of the Vatican employee's daughter has never been found.
Last month the diocese of Rome, on orders from the Vatican, granted investigators permission to open up the tomb in the Sant'Apollinare basilica close to Piazza Navona in the centre of Rome.
At the time of his funeral there were raised eyebrows when despite his criminal past church chiefs allowed De Pedis to be buried in the crypt of Sant'Apollinare.
At the time it was said the burial was given the go ahead because prison chaplain Father Vergari told bishops that De Pedis had 'repented while in jail and also done a lot of work for charity,' including large donations to the Catholic Church

De Pedis, whose name on the £12,000 tomb is spelt in diamonds, was buried in Sant'Apollinare church after he was gunned down in 1990 in the city's famous Campo De Fiori.
He and his gang controlled the lucrative drug market in Rome and were also rumoured to have a 'free hand' because of their links with police and Italian secret service agents.
The disappearance of Orlandi reads like the roller coaster plot of a Dan Brown Da Vinci Code thriller with a touch of The Godfather thrown in for good measure.
Twelve years ago a skull was found in the confessional box of a Rome church and tests were carried out on it to see if it was Orlandi after a mystery tip off but they proved negative.
In 2008 Sabrina Minardi, De Pedis girlfriend at the time of Orlandi's disappearance, sensationally claimed that now dead American monsignor Paul Marcinkus, the controversial chief of the Vatican bank, was behind the kidnap.
Monsignor Marcinkus used his status to avoid being questioned by police in the early 1980's probing the collapse of a Banco Ambrosiano which the Vatican had invested heavily in.
The collapse was linked to the murder of Roberto Calvi dubbed God's Banker because of the Vatican links and his body was found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge in London in June 1982.
His pockets filled with cash and stones and it was originally recorded as a suicide but police believe he was murdered by the Mafia after a bungled money laundering operation.
At the same time as Minardi made her claim a mystery caller to a missing person’s programme on Italian TV said the riddle of Orlandi’s kidnap would be solved 'if De Pedis tomb was opened'.
Following Minardi claims the Vatican took the unusual step of speaking publicly and dismissed her claims about American Monsignor Marcinkus, who died in Arizona four years ago.

Outspoken: Father Gabriel Amorth said the 15-year-old was kidnapped for Vatican sex parties

Missing ’15 Year Old’ Vatican Girl — Was She Pregnant, Was She Abused, Those Are The Two Questions That Need To Be Asked.

For the last two weeks there has been a slew of articles about the disappearance 30 years ago of the then 15-year old daughter of a Vatican employee, Ms. Emanuela Orlandi, who had the rare distinction of being a young, female, lay Vatican citizen. She supposedly went missing in 1983 after leaving the Vatican to go for a music lesson in Rome. [link 1 & link 2]


Her disappearance has been linked to that of alleged Italian crime boss Enrico De Pedis — the one that was supposedly buried among popes, but in reality was buried in a nondescript Roman church run by Opus Dei. They exhumed Enrico’s body, this week, on the belief that Ms. Orlandi’s body was interred in the same tomb. They are supposed to have found a whole bunch of bones close by. Well, I checked again. This, though not a ‘titular’, is an old church and the grounds below old Roman churches are known to full of bones.

American Archbishop Marcinkus, the ‘God’s Unscrupulous Banker‘ so-to-speak who is implicated in a string of intrigue including the demise of poor John Paul I (#264), is also suspected of having a hand in the disappearance of this 15-year old girl. I think it is in ‘The Thief In The Night‘, but I remember reading a description of Marcinkus holding one of regular dinner parties at the sprawling, palatial Palazzo del Governatorato (Governor’s Palace) which at that time he occupied all on his own (with a few nuns to do the housework) — the court of a mighty Emperor. It described Marcinkus dressed in a white shirt, opened to the waist showing off his tanned, hairy chest draped in gold. According to reports, Marcinkus, who found found, at 6 am, lurking, sans explanation, in the Vatican ground behind the Papal Apartment the morning that the body of poor John Paul I was discovered is reputed to have ordered the ‘kidnapping’ of this girl. Hhhmmm. I wonder why?

There is also supposed to be a shadowy connection to the May 13, 1981 assassination attempt by Mehmet Ali Ağca on John Paul II (#265) — she supposedly a pawn in an attempt to get Ağca released. Ağca, who I think is a deranged, ego-maniac, incompetent to boot, commented on Emanuela Orlandi in a 2010 interview. According to him she was originally kidnapped by the Vatican but is now living safely, as a nun, in a Catholic monastery in Central European country — often visited by a family. [He also claimed that the Vatican was behind the 1981 assassination attempt.] BINGO.

I am in no way trying to impune integrity of this lady. The contrary is true. I, as a father of three daughters, worry that she was led astray and then whisked away when it was discovered that she was with child. As we now know, to our cost and chagrin, child abuse among the Catholic church ran deep and rampant — and only those trying to make one particular point will try and claim that the abuse was predominantly against boys. No, girls were abused too. So that is my thesis.

I really can buy into the Ağca thesis. Emanuela Orlandi is alive and well, living as a nun — a baby put up for adoption 29 years ago. That makes sense. Fits all the parameters.

Italians find mystery bones in tomb linked to Vatican scandal
Unidentified bones have been found in the diamond-studded tomb of a murdered Italian gangster which was opened by police in a bid to unravel a 29-year missing persons mystery.

Enrico De Pedis, the leader of a murderous gang known as the Banda della Magliana, was gunned down aged just 38, by members of his own crew.

Detectives investigating the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi, 15, in 1983, believe De Pedis is linked to her kidnap. The body of the Vatican employee’s daughter has never been found.

Last month the diocese of Rome, on orders from the Vatican, granted investigators permission to open up the tomb in the Sant’Apollinare basilica close to Piazza Navona in the centre of Rome. Their decision was the result of an anonymous call to a missing person’s programme on Italian television which said the riddle of Orlandi’s kidnap would be solved ”if De Pedis tomb was opened”.

The church was ringed by police keeping back onlookers, as stonemasons arrived to perform their macabre task, accompanied by lawyers representing the De Pedis family and his widow.

A team of forensic scientists wearing overalls and masks was on hand as the tomb was opened with sources saying a ”foul stench” filled the air of the crypt, while outside a large crowd of onlookers gathered, mixing with priests from the next door college.
Officials said that De Pedis body was ”well preserved” and that he was recognised by detectives present. He was still dressed in a dark blue suit and black tie.

His body was inside the last of three coffins and the forensic team lifted his arm out of the casket to take fingerprints, which were a positive match.

But another mystery was revealed as a box of bones was found inside the tomb which officials said were ”not those of De Pedis” and were removed for examination.

Officials said that several boxes of bones were also recovered from elsewhere within the crypt which they explained could date from 200 or more years ago.

Despite his criminal past, it was said that church officials allowed De Pedis to be buried in one of the capital’s most notable churches

because he had “repented while in jail and also done a lot of work for charity”, including large donations to the Catholic Church.

De Pedis, whose name on the the £12,000 tomb is spelt in diamonds, was gunned down in 1990 in Campo De Fiori, a central square that is a popular destination for tourists.

He and his gang controlled the lucrative drug market in Rome and were also rumoured to have a ”free hand” because of their links with police and Italian secret service agents.

The disappearance of Orlandi has produced few clues. After a mystery tip-off 12 years ago a skull was found in the confessional box of a Rome church and tests were carried out to see if it was Orlandi but they proved negative.

In 2008 Sabrina Minardi, De Pedis’s girlfriend at the time of Orlandi’s disappearance, sensationally claimed that the now dead American monsignor Paul Marcinkus, the controversial chief of the Vatican bank, was behind the kidnapping.

In the early 1980s, Monsignor Marcinkus used his status to avoid being questioned by police probing the collapse of a Banco Ambrosiano which the Vatican had invested heavily in.

The collapse was linked to the murder of Roberto Calvi, dubbed God’s Banker because of the Vatican links, whose body was found hanging under Blackfriars Bridge in London in June 1982.

Emanuela Orlandi’s brother Pietro, who in the past has accused the Vatican of not co-operating fully with the police and prosecutors, was at the scene and said: “I never expected my sister’s remains to be found in the coffin. Personally I also doubt that the Magliana gang had anything to do with my sister’s disappearance. I just hope that with the opening of the tomb there is transparency and collaboration between the investigating authorities and the Vatican.”

Maurilio Prioreschi, a lawyer representing the De Pedis family, said: ”His wife Carla has told me that once this operation is over she wishes that her husband’s remains are cremated or buried elsewhere
