Why It Matters
Liliana Resinovich disappeared on December 14, 2021 and her body was found on January 5, 2022 in the woods of the former psychiatric hospital in Trieste. The initial investigations had considered the hypothesis of suicide, but subsequently elements emerged that suggest a possible murder.
Some traces of DNA belonging to the same unknown man were found on the jeans of Liliana Resinovich - the woman who disappeared on 14 December 2021 whose body was found on 5 January in the woods of the former psychiatric hospital in Trieste - and on one of the black bags that contained the body. This is the outcome of one of the questions posed by the Trieste investigating judge to the experts, which will be discussed at the hearing on 30 October. The experts have also ascertained that on the soles of Liliana's shoes there are no traces of the soil from the place where the body was found. And that there was "direct contact" between the jacket worn by the victim's husband Sebastiano Visintin on the day of the woman's disappearance, and Liliana's jacket and bag.
"This report tells us that Lilly was killed and therefore someone brought her to us" at the former Opp, "because she has nothing on her from the site" where the body was found. This is the comment of the lawyer Nicodemo Gentile on the results of the appraisal. Gentile assists Sergio Resinovich, the victim's brother.
However, "after six years, we did not expect the smoking gun from this report, other and impressive elements speak of murder and possible responsibility". "What the expert report returned after all the samples had been handled and subjected to multiple tests is already too much, but there are very interesting ideas to evaluate together with the rest: with the telephone interceptions and everything that is emerging from IT devices that make us talk about alterations, and a series of anomalies that will certainly have to be clarified. In short, "the joke that we had to endure about suicide disintegrates".
