More than 15 years have passed since the mysterious disappearance of Sonia Marra, the young girl of Apulian origin who lived in Perugia and who has never been found since November 16, 2006. For the case, considered murder , a man was tried and acquitted in what is considered unrelated to the affair.
Family members have launched appeals several times at least to find the remains to be given a proper burial. Now in the cold case a crack seems to open thanks to an interception: "You know what they did to that girl? These are the words spoken during a conversation between a seminarian and a parish priest and heard by the Todi carabinieri as part of an anti-drug operation.
The two then refer to " a drug, money, sex ": Sonia allegedly "saw and heard" something, "that's why they annihilated her" because "the priests would have been involved".
The crime story began on November 16: the 25-year-old's mother calls her like every night, but the cell phone is off. A very strange element that immediately gives rise to great concern, so much so that the next day the young woman's brother-in-law reaches Perugia to make sure of her conditions. In the apartment Sonia is not there, but the valves of the stove in the kitchen are open and the environment is saturated with gas. A man ends up in the investigators' sights - the one later acquitted - who says he bought two pregnancy tests for the girl. And she herself had confided to a nun the fear of expecting a baby. Before vanishing into thin air, however, he had sent a message to the nun to tell her that the test was negative.
But no one has heard from Sonia since then.
