Annabella Martinelli Case: Investigators Cite Farewell Letter and Bandage Detail, Maintain Suicide Hypothesis

Prosecutors say there is no evidence of third‑party involvement pending autopsy confirmation.

Overview

  • The 22-year-old Padua student was found hanged in a small wood on Monte Oliveto after disappearing on January 6.
  • Investigators say a large gauzed bandage sealed her mouth and assess that she likely applied it herself.
  • A multi-page handwritten farewell and additional notes were recovered, supporting the conclusion of a self-inflicted act.
  • Social-media exchanges flagged by the public have been reviewed and are not considered linked to her death.
  • Items near the site, including Coca-Cola cans and pizza remnants, are being analyzed, no evidence of others has emerged, and the autopsy is set for Tuesday.
