Castelluccio dei Sauri (Foggia) – 14 marzo 1998 – Prima parte

On March 15, 1998, two eighteen-year-old girls were recorded in a room at the Foggia prosecutor's office, discussing the death of a friend of theirs. The death was initially considered a suicide. There was also a typewritten farewell letter. It was from those conversations intercepted by the prosecutor's office that investigators confirmed what they already suspected. Nadia Roccia, the girl's name, had been murdered and then, in a naive and improbable manner, her suicide had been faked. Her two friends, Anna Maria Botticelli and Maria Filomena Sica, known to everyone as Marilena, were accused, tried, and convicted. They confessed, but indicated absurd, implausible motives. The investigation discussed broken promises, jealousy, and dreams in which the ghost of the father of one of the two perpetrators of the crime appeared. The satanic element was not unheard of. A criminologist consultant spoke of madness for two, a rare psychiatric syndrome, difficult to diagnose. And then, even at the trial, of latent homosexuality, of secret and unrequited love affairs. Media attention was constant; the video of the judicial experiment in which the two girls reconstructed the stages of the murder ended up in the hands of journalists. The trials subsequently had a wavering pattern in determining the sentence and concluded with a plea bargain. 28 years later, the motive for the murder has never been clarified.
