She is Vatican City’s only missing person case. Fifteen-year-old Emanuela Orlandi was a typical teenage girl, until she went missing on June 22nd, 1983, and her disappearance was tied to theories of secrets within the Vatican, to international espionage, and to the Italian mafia. But why Emanuela? Who knew the truth behind her disappearance? And what secret was someone willing to go to every extreme to keep?

I urge you to view the docuseries Vatican Girl, which provides much needed insights from Emanuela's family and others involved in the case.
