Overview

  • DNA under Poggi’s nails, pivotal to linking Andrea Sempio, is missing from evidence storage and likely destroyed after Alberto Stasi’s conviction became final.
  • Palm print attributed to Sempio at the Garlasco crime scene reinforces his status as the primary suspect in the reopened investigation.
  • A separate male DNA profile on Poggi’s left ring finger does not match either Sempio or Stasi, indicating contact with an unidentified individual.
  • The family’s lawyer has requested expanded DNA testing of all personnel present at the crime scene to rule out potential contamination.
  • Sempio’s Vigevano alibi hinges on a disputed parking ticket and was recently defended by his mother, who denied ever using the ticket.
