Catholic Culture : Latest Headlines : Vatican approves exhumation of Mafia figure in notorious Italian case: "Emanuela Orlandi, the daughter of a Vatican employee, was a 15-year-old high-school student in June 1983, when she did not return from school to her home inside Vatican City. Her disappearance has never been explained, but the case gave rise to a series of sensational theories. One report suggested that she had been kidnapped, and her captors offered her freedom in exchange for that of Mehmet Ali Agca, the would-be papal assassin who was then imprisoned in Rome. Another theory was that her abductors were working for the Mafia, sending a warning message to the conspirators who had stolen millions from the failed Banco Ambrosiano. After years of investigating the case, Italian prosecutors found insufficient evidence to support these theories."
