Two Sisters Disappear From Abruzzo Care Home as Investigators Seize Coded Notes and Open Probe Into Managers

Prosecutors treating the case as a possible unlawful removal have opened a parallel inquiry into alleged neglect at the house‑family.

Overview

  • The 16‑year‑old Alisya and 12‑year‑old Sarah were last seen leaving the Ofh Hope community during the night between June 6 and June 7 and have not been found.
  • Searches by carabinieri, vigili del fuoco, sommozzatori, drones and canine teams have covered the park and Lake Barrea but so far have turned up no trace of the girls.
  • Investigators have seized the sisters’ phones, sealed their room and recovered coded notes plus missing clothes and cosmetics, while a last‑seen video showing the girls has been circulated to police.
  • The Procura di Sulmona opened a file for sottrazione di minori and, after a complaint from the father, placed the community’s managers under investigation for abbandono di minore.
  • The case is being examined against recent family‑court changes that returned parental responsibility to the father on May 28 and officials say all hypotheses — kidnapping, planned departure with help, or voluntary leave — remain under active review.
