A completely valid document, issued in 2019, but with a false name. A passport with which Francis Kaufmann, this is the real name of the man who killed a baby girl of a few months in Rome, has been traveling undisturbed for years . Malta, Russia, Italy and Greece are his latest destinations. The Villa Pamphili mystery is enriched with a new piece: the man stopped in Greece, on the island of Skiathos, is not Rexal Ford .
The work of the Prosecutor's Office, in collaboration with the FBI, has led to a new twist in the story: the 46-year-old had a document issued by the American authorities six years ago with a false name, an alias. An element that opens up further scenarios in a story whose contours are hard to define. The woman found dead 200 meters from her daughter still has no name. "She said her name was Stella Ford," some witnesses reported. An identity that, however, has not been confirmed. For investigators, the origin must be between Russia, where the two had stayed, and Ukraine. For a witness, Oskar 'El Mariachi', a Mexican musician who met her in Malta, she was a "computer genius, a sort of hacker. A Robin Hood of the Internet. Not even Rexal knew exactly what she did."
So what did the two of them do for a living? Can any possible links with security apparatuses be ruled out? He introduced himself as a film director and producer . On May 7 , Kaufmann - accompanied by the woman and the child - went to a Roman production studio for an "international" project with a budget of three million euros . An email from the United Kingdom by British producers also supports the candidacy.
On June 5, two days before the bodies were found, the Californian sent a voice message to an Italian friend: "My wife left me. She got back with her ex, he's rich. She left me with the child because she wasn't interested in being a mother anymore. Now I'm looking for a place to stay in Rome." In the same audio, the man mentions a film project in which even Dhani Harrison, son of the legendary George of the Beatles, would have been involved. Friendships yet to be proven, in a story told in a detached tone and an almost mechanical voice. . A body, at the moment, not claimed by anyone but whose identity could be revealed in the next few hours by tracing a determining element: . For this reason, checks are underway to understand the name of the child's mother, perhaps contained in the health records. It is from there that the couple, with the child, would have then left to go to Russia, the possible country of origin of the woman.
