A meticulous job of verifying the contents of the packages containing the findings from 18 years ago to be analyzed, if usable, with the latest generation techniques. A painstaking job, certainly not without tension between the consultants of the parties and the experts indicated by the investigating judge of Pavia, Daniela Garlaschelli, which will last days - next appointment Thursday -, and which constitutes only the beginning of the maxi evidentiary incident in the context of the new investigation into the murder of Chiara Poggi .
Among the findings collected there is not the plaster scraped from the wall of the stairs near which the girl's body was found and on which the footprint 33 was isolated, now attributed to Andrea Sempio, the friend of the victim at the center of the new investigation. It is therefore impossible to ascertain whether that footprint was bloody .
There is no blood on the other fingerprints analyzed. According to reports, out of thirty bands on which fingerprints were collected, 18 were analyzed, including number 10 , the one on the entrance door of the villa that according to investigators belongs to the murderer. And on which new analyses will be done. On these 18 fingerprints 24 DNA samples were taken without finding blood .
With the opening of the envelopes it was also understood that the prints collected at the crime scene, and now the subject of the examination of the experts and consultants, are not stored on adhesive strips but on acetate sheets. Therefore with lower conservation capacity , on which the consultant of the Chiara Poggi family, Dario Radaelli, expresses doubts.
Of a different opinion is the lawyer Giada Bocellari, who defends Alberto Stasi, the victim's boyfriend at the time of the murder, definitively sentenced for the crime to 16 years in prison. "It seems that the evidence was preserved as it should have been," says the lawyer.
However, lawyer Angela Taccia, who defends Sempio with her colleague Massimo Lovati, was not there. "I deemed my presence unnecessary today, as I firmly believe in the abilities and professionalism of our consultant, General Garofano." The former commander of the Parma RIS is blunt: "I believe in Andrea Sempio's innocence until proven guilty and I do not expect sensational results - these are the words pronounced at the entrance to the Milan Police Headquarters, where the evidentiary incident took place -. I believe in Andrea Sempio's innocence until proven guilty and I believe in the final sentence."
We are only at the skirmishes of the evidentiary incident that should 'crystallize' the evidence in a possible trial. The genetic and fingerprint experts will then be called to discuss the usability, with the new forensic techniques, of the two genetic profiles extrapolated from the edges of Chiara's nails already during the second appeal trial against Stasi. This for a reliable comparison with Sempio's DNA , which emerged from the new investigations, and with those of Stasi and all the people who frequented the Garlasco villa.
Then we will proceed with the extraction of DNA from the fingerprints and from the material then collected by the Parma RIS or discarded because useless or insufficient for any test . The garbage will also be taken into consideration, including the jar of Fruttolo, seized the day after the murder with the cereal boxes and spoons for breakfast that Chiara, on the morning of the crime, did not finish .
