Overview
- Cemetery staff preparing to move her coffin noticed loose screws and fresh silicone on the seal and, after opening it, found the body decapitated with the head missing.
- The Bergamo prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case for desecration of a corpse and theft of human remains, offenses that can bring two to seven years in prison under Italian law.
- Early forensic assessments cite the coffin’s weight of about 120 kilograms and the careful resealing to suggest a planned operation likely involving three or four people.
- Police are reviewing cemetery surveillance, though the system overwrites footage after about a week and poor lighting and dense vegetation make suspects hard to identify.
- Family representatives reject an extortion motive and describe an obsessive driver as more likely, a development that deepens the trauma following her October 2025 killing by an ex‑partner and raises fresh questions about cemetery security.
