Overview
- TG1 and multiple outlets report investigators identified a blood-stained shoe impression on the top stair above the cellar, visible only through modern bloodstain-pattern analysis applied to original photographs.
- The mark is near the palm trace known as print 33 and trace 44, which prosecutors’ consultants attribute to Andrea Sempio, while his defense contests the match and maintains the residue is sweat rather than blood.
- Prosecutors are exploring a revised timeline that begins with an attack near the entrance, continues with blows inside the house, and ends with the body moved and pushed down the cellar stairs, although official reports have not been filed publicly.
- Corriere della Sera cautions that the stair mark’s nature and authorship remain unconfirmed, with RIS Cagliari’s BPA and Professor Cristina Cattaneo’s medico-legal consultancy still pending under investigative secrecy.
- Related developments include Alberto Stasi’s defamation complaint against criminologist Anna Vagli and broadcast of a 2007 intercepted call noting male-expressed blood under the victim’s nails that Stasi’s lawyer downplayed.
