Search for Missing Doctor Sara Pedri Restarts at Lake Santa Giustina

Rescuers are taking advantage of unusually low water levels to scan the lake now, with deeper inspections scheduled in spring.

Overview

  • Authorities relaunched the operation today on order of government commissioner Isabella Fusiello after a family request facilitated by Associazione Penelope.
  • Firefighters are sweeping the shoreline and using inflatable boats on the water, with carabinieri also deployed at the site.
  • Teams plan additional, more thorough passes in April and May when the lake is expected to recede further after a dry winter.
  • Pedri vanished on March 4, 2021, and her phone was found in a Volkswagen T‑Roc near the Mostizzolo bridge, informing investigators’ focus on the lake.
  • Searches in the area had been halted since October 2022, and relatives say even finding a shoe or her missing blue‑violet glasses would offer crucial answers.
