On June 22, 1983, fifteen-year-old Emanuela Orlandi left her family home inside Vatican City for a music lesson in Rome and never returned. Her disappearance moved quickly from a missing-person case into a maze of phone calls, papal appeals, terrorism claims, organized-crime theories, Vatican secrecy allegations, tomb searches, reopened investigations, and parliamentary inquiries. More than four decades later, Vatican and Italian authorities have revisited the file, but no public investigation has established what happened to Emanuela.
