Dr. Eugenio D'Orio, Director of Bio Forensics RC, reopened one of the most famous italian cold case

The Court of Asti granted the authorization to the genetic analysis of the clothes that Elena Ceste wore on the day of her disappearance. The Criminal Offices will open the archive to the forensic biology expert Eugenio D'Orio, from the Federico II University of Naples who is part of the group of investigators  working for months to try to reopen the case. The Court Judge of Asti, Dr. Francesca Di Naro, has granted access to the finds archive, in the interest of Michele Buoninconti, who is serving the final sentence of 30 years in prison in the Alghero prison, where he is studying to graduate in Business Economics. The concession gives hope for a future reopening of the case. The green light was given to carry out genetic analyzes on the woman's clothes, found in the courtyard of her home on the day of her disappearance and on the biological samples, taken from the two cars of the family, which had never been analyzed. There are a pair of pants, a sweater, tights, briefs and other personal items to analyze. «From the judge we expected a response in a long time and after some hearings in reality - explains D'Orio - instead everything was approved in a few days and with a communication. Now we are entitled to go and get the finds. I have always been confident in the work of the Judges ». In the request that the Neapolitan consultant and university professor had presented, not only the principles of the right of defense provided for by the Constitution were invoked, but also the sentence of the Supreme Italia Court on the access and analysis of the finds for exploratory purposes for completeness of the individual defense. «In judicial cases such as Bossetti's and for the Erba case - explains the criminologist and technical consultant of the team, Anna Vagli - access to the finds has always been denied. We want to demonstrate how things really went. " According to the investigators of the Buoninconti family, things would have gone differently from what the prosecution claimed. «In recent months - says Vagli - we have probed Elena Ceste's private life. What has not emerged is that she had three lovers and with one of them she had set herself apart ». According to the consultant, the papers were misread in the process: how could these things not have emerged? There is a message to one of the three lovers, there are confessions to the parish priest, "he says. The new analyzes they required are functional to demonstrate that "the young woman's murderer is not Michele, but they would have been dangerous marital relationships. In missing clothes we look for the DNA of the potential and possible material perpetrator of the murder ». In September it will be possible to know if those tracks are there or not. Meanwhile, Buoninconti's lawyers Luca Scolari and Giuseppe Marazzita have welcomed the disposition of judge Di Naro. «We await the technical feedback». To support them the legal consultant lawyer Cristina Moschini. Sentences difficult to overturn, despite the fact that the first authorization for new genetic analyzes on some finds that point to revision has arrived. Several and motivated elements, which the accusation sustained at first instance by the prosecutor Laura Deodato, had led to the identification of the man as "cold perpetrator of the murder of his wife". To frame him the telephone cells that placed him "in the area where Elena's body was found, at a time compatible with the subsequent development of the facts" wrote the judge of first instance in the reasons for the sentence. It had been a murder from the "long incubation" in her husband's mind. "It is entirely likely that Michael's exasperation, due to Elena's double life without her knowledge, was the detonator." According to the magistrate, the choice to act had been "consciously exploited because the defendant had a scheduled rest just that morning", a thesis also endorsed by the Court of Assizes of Appeal. "Elena Ceste did not commit suicide, nor was she the victim of accidental death," wrote the Court. To prove it, not only the cell phones, but an evidentiary picture "of a heinous and premeditated crime". One of the gravestones on a hypothetical exoneration of Buoninconti, would have come, according to the judges of the second degree, from the deposition of the friend fireman, "used as a tool of misdirection" during a search in the countryside that the former fireman would have incorrectly oriented. Even the Supreme Court had rejected the defense's appeal..
