ROME – A real media bomb. And this time to launch it is a former magistrate, Maria Angioni: Denise Pipitone, disappeared on 1 September 2004 in Mazara del Vallo in the province of Trapani (Sicily, Italy), would be alive, ‘settled’ in a family that would have ties with the kidnappers. And she would be a mother, she would have a daughter. A shocking revelation, also in light of the fact that the author was the attorney who had worked on the case in the initial stages of the affair, 17 years ago. “My idea – said the former magistrate during the Rai 1 Italian Tv broadcast ‘Italian Stories’, today – is that Denise is alive and placed in some family that has ties with the kidnappers or with some members of which they have had ties with the kidnappers. Rom family, should be sought in environments that are difficult for us to inspect. The ‘Rom track’ can be connected to the video of that lady from Milan, but we don’t even know if she is a Rom. Let’s say that it was a group that perhaps begged for alms. Sure that she is alive, in recent days I sent a series of photos and documents to the Public Attorney’s Office: I have me the personal certainty that she is alive, has a family, even a daughter. Obviously these are documents that I have sent only to the Public Attorney’s Office and to the lawyer Giacomo Frazzitta because they are very delicate. Then it will be the Public Attorney who will assess whether my assessment is true or not. Before it was a probability, but now I have the personal certainty that this is the case “, concluded the former magistrate, leaving speechless the guests in studios.

“The only thing I’m afraid of – added Maria Angioni – is the loss of serenity of a family unit. The first important thing is to preserve the psychophysical balance of the people involved”.

The former magistrate also revealed other details: the girl does not know she is being kidnapped, just as her husband does not and would find herself in a peaceful and international context. “The situation is difficult to control. She’s not with the members of the extended family I’ve always talked about, but we got there by continuing that thought. I cannot say anything else, otherwise I would do damage – Angioni specified – . What I have verified now gives me confirmation of what I have always thought. Now I fear for her physical safety and the serenity of his family where he is now inserted. That person does not know that she is a kidnapped child and her husband does not. We found all in a very peaceful and international context. There is no violation of the secret because it is my reconstruction”.

Maria Angioni then concluded: “I’m saying it for one purpose, you have to hurry and don’t allow yourself to continue cheating. I am sure that in Mazara del Vallo those responsible for this kidnapping will go to the investigators. They do not speak yet because they are convinced that they have done well. These people ask themselves ‘why do I have to risk 30 years if in reality I have not done anything wrong and the girl is fine, we are all happy’. Piera Maggio (Denise’s mother) is not happy and has lost a daughter. Now we just have to wait ”.
