Prosecutors Treat Disappearance of Federica Torzullo as Homicide, Report Copious Blood Traces and Await DNA Results

Prosecutors highlight strong indicia toward the husband with decisive DNA findings expected shortly.

Overview

  • Investigators say extensive blood traces were found in locations linked to husband Claudio Agostino Carlomagno, including the couple’s home, his work clothes, his car, a quarry, and a company machine.
  • The Civitavecchia Prosecutor’s Office has formally entered the husband in the register of suspects, citing irreconcilable discrepancies between his account and investigative findings.
  • Technical DNA analyses on seized items from the home, vehicles, and the husband’s earth‑moving company are underway and described as crucial to clarifying events.
  • Carabinieri in Anguillara Sabazia, the Ostia investigative unit, and Rome’s RIS conducted seizures of the residence, both spouses’ cars, and company assets to preserve evidence.
  • CCTV and phone checks indicate no recorded exit or device movement for Torzullo after the evening of January 8, and she remains missing following an apparent SMS exchange with her mother the next morning.
