Overview
- Carabinieri located the 27-year-old on December 4 in good health, concealed in a small attic space at the Nardò apartment of acquaintance Dragos Ioan Gheormescu.
- Investigators traced her through local CCTV that filmed the pair walking to his home on November 24; she was found with two phones, a knife and a key.
- Gheormescu was questioned and publicly apologized, saying the stay was mutually agreed, while initial suspicions of more serious crimes have been de-emphasized.
- Prosecutors first flagged instigation to suicide during early inquiries and are now evaluating possible false statements or a ‘procurato allarme’ case, with no restraining measures requested.
- Authorities say they are determining whether the 11-day absence was voluntary or involved coercion, as media float an unconfirmed social-media–followers motive that investigators have not substantiated.
