After thirty years, the clothes of Manuela Murgia, the sixteen-year-old found dead on February 5, 1995 in the Tuvixeddu canyon, have been recovered: the clothes will now be subjected to technical tests for the extraction of any biological elements still present, using the most recent technologies available for DNA enhancement. State-of-the-art tools that, in several cases, have allowed old “C old cases ” to be solved even after decades.

The indiscretion leaked out yesterday morning, after someone in the last few days had seen some agents of the Flying Squad leaving the old building of the Institute of Forensic Medicine in via Porcell , currently managed by the Department of Environmental Hygiene, with some boxes and bags.

At the time, there was talk of a death linked to a “precipitation”, not excluding the hypothesis of suicide, but in light of a recent consultation entrusted by Manuela Murgia's family to the expert Roberto Demontis, the public prosecutor Guido Pani has decided to reopen the investigation with the hypothesis of voluntary homicide. The 16-year-old could have been run over and then abandoned under the Tuvixeddu canyon .
