Vatican citizen Emanuela Orlandi disappears

In 1983, the disappearance of a teenage girl who was a citizen of Vatican City led to a scandal.

When Pope John Paul II made a public appeal to the people holding Emanuela Orlandi captive, the world took notice and her case was treated as a suspected kidnapping.

Forty years on, the reason she vanished is still unclear.

Emanuela’s brother, Pietro Orlandi, speaks to Daniel Gordon about his life-long mission to find out what really happened to his sister.
