Happy Halloween! It’s our last spoooooky episode of the season. We’ll go back to our regular bi-weekly publishing schedule after this one.

In June 1983, a 15-year-old Vatican citizen named Emanuela Orlandi left for a music lesson in Rome—and vanished without a trace. The case that followed is a mix of anonymous phone calls, alleged kidnappings, and puzzling theories ranging from terrorism to organised crime to a cover-up within the Vatican.

Join us as we trace Emanuela’s last known steps, unpack the conflicting investigations, and explore the shadowy webs of power that may lie behind one of Italy’s most haunting cold-cases.
