Why did Manuela Murgia hide money, nearly 100,000 lire in 1,000-lire and 10,000-lire notes, in the chandelier without ever explaining how she'd obtained it to her mother, who had found it two weeks before the tragedy? And why, before going out for the last time, did she take other money she had kept in her room?
New evidence is emerging in the case of the sixteen-year-old girl found dead in the Tuvixeddu canyon on February 5, 1995: evidence that suggests she was inadvertently involved in something bigger than herself , tied to the money found in the chandelier. Manuela had met people who had changed her mood, her family members have repeatedly reiterated. Was the sixteen-year-old girl holding that money on someone's behalf, perhaps under constant threats? Was she supposed to return it?
These are some of the questions that investigators are trying to answer, along with the mysterious phone calls she received at home that made her cry, the blue car she got into on the day of her disappearance, the soup she ate that same day , and the strange way she put on lipstick and perfume before going out.
A series of questions that open up several scenarios. And that could involve others, beyond the only current suspect, Enrico Astero, the girl's ex-boyfriend.
