Overview

• Forensic geneticist Denise Albani confirmed the Ignoto 3 profile contains 22 markers and is not the result of recent handling contamination, excluding lab technicians and investigators.
• The Procura di Pavia rejected further biological testing of imprint 33 after officials determined the plaster fragment and its sample were fully consumed or destroyed.
• Tribunale di Pavia has scheduled a July 23 hearing to designate fingerprint expert Domenico Marchigiani for latent print recovery on items seized in 2007, including household waste.
• Investigators will conduct DNA comparisons of the Ignoto 3 profile against at least 30 individuals present at the original crime scene—ranging from first responders to forensic staff—for exclusionary analysis.
• Scrutiny of Andrea Sempio’s 2008 interrogation has intensified after probes revealed overlapping witness statements, an unrecorded ambulance call and gaps in his parking-ticket alibi.
