In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole from Crime House's new show, The Final Hours. Carter examines the disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi, a Vatican citizen who vanished after a music lesson in Rome in 1983. What began as a missing-person case quickly spiraled into one of the most complex and disturbing mysteries in modern history, involving anonymous phone calls, audio recordings, international terrorism claims, the mafia, and alleged Vatican cover-ups. As decades pass, new witnesses, secret documents, and shocking accusations raise a haunting question: did the Vatican know where Emanuela was all along? Her case remains unsolved—and uniquely chilling—as the only disappearance of a Vatican citizen in history.
