Overview
- The 16‑year‑old Alisya and 12‑year‑old Sarah Di Giacinto disappeared from a community home in Civitella Alfedena during the night between Saturday and Sunday, and no confirmed sightings have emerged since.
- The Procura di Sulmona has opened a file for sottrazione di minori and delegated the case to the Carabinieri of Castel di Sangro, who are collecting surveillance footage and phone data.
- Searches have been extended into the girls’ home area in southern Lazio, including Minturno, Scauri and Fondi, and teams with dogs and drones are scouring woodland and road routes tied to family leads.
- Authorities have found no video showing the girls leaving the village and have opened a parallel inquiry into the community after staff waited until Sunday afternoon to alert police and the facility was found to lack internal cameras and alarms.
- The case has a complex family and legal background: the sisters had lived in the care home for about seven years and a May 28 court ruling restored the father’s parental responsibility, a recent fact investigators consider while following lines of inquiry that could affect custody and criminal charges.
