She faults the original inquiry, saying the FBI stayed out because her daughter was an adult with an Italian passport.

Overview

  • Appearing Sunday on Canale 5's Verissimo to promote her new memoir, Power revisited her daughter's 1990s disappearance in New Orleans.
  • Power repeated that she does not believe Ylenia died, describing her as "an being of light" and recounting grief that comes in waves.
  • She criticized the handling of the case as contradictory and superficial while asserting that U.S. federal agents did not intervene due to jurisdictional limits.
