Overview
- Investigators, who on Tuesday were ordered to extract the older daughter's iPhone data, are seeking chats, notes, and location logs from December through April.
- Detectives are testing a two-step exposure theory that begins with a December 23 family dinner and points to two intravenous drips reportedly given at home on December 26 by a medically trained acquaintance.
- The Di Vita home remains under seizure for fresh forensic work, and police fear key items like IV bags may have already been removed.
- Pathologists will review autopsy slides at Policlinico di Bari to help establish whether ricin entered by ingestion, inhalation, or injection, since toxicology alone cannot show the route.
- Prosecutors are running a dual case that treats the deaths as suspected double homicide against unknown persons while a separate negligence file for five Cardarelli doctors appears headed for closure.
