Federica Sciarelli Calls Out Vatican on Orlandi Case and Decries True-Crime Fixation

Her comments expose a church culture of secrecy mirrored in public obsession with true crime.

Overview

  • In a Corriere della Sera interview Sciarelli demanded the Vatican open an inquiry into Vatican citizen Emanuela Orlandi’s disappearance
  • She accused the Church of a “wash dirty laundry in the family” culture that withholds even basic information
  • Sciarelli warned that morbid public fascination with the Garlasco murder persists despite new DNA and fingerprint leads
  • She highlighted recent failures to protect vulnerable people by citing the Villa Pamphili child abuse reports and Cristina Golinucci’s unexplained convent disappearance
  • Drawing on her program’s past impact, she urged Parliament to eliminate the 48-hour reporting delay and mandate DNA cross-matching in missing-persons cases
