Crime of Garlasco, is the day of the evidentiary accident: here’s what happens and how much it will take us for the results

There are 90 days, but they will probably not be enough for the evidentiary accident that begins on June 17th. Almost 18 years after the murder of Chiara Poggithe investigation reopened by the Pavia prosecutor’s office arrives at the time of the new scientific investigations. On the one hand Alberto Stasi, the only condemned for the crime, on the other the new suspect Andrea Semplio. In the middle of dozens of other people, from Chiara’s family members to the experts who will have to carry on the scientific investigations.

DNA

The key point is DNA. It starts from here for the new analyzes. In the Scientific Police Cabinet of the Milan Police Headquarters, Legal and Party experts will confront the investigations that the investigating judge of Pavia Daniela Garlaschelli has entrusted to the experts Denise Albani and Domenico Marche. Will new laboratory techniques give new results on finds that are 18 years old old? The answer to this question begins with a check: it must be ascertained if the “conservation chain” of the finds subject to the investigations has been respected. If it were not so it would be difficult and contestable the comparison of the DNA, two male profiles, extrapolated from Chiara’s ointments.

During the appeal process, the geneticist Francesco De Stefano had considered that DNA not usable because they are degraded. Professor Carlo Previderé, the expert of the prosecutors of Pavia who have worked on the reopening of the case, says instead that it is superimposable to that of Semplio. From here came the reopening of the case. This correspondence is to be ascertained. The defense instead says that the biological material could have remained on Chiara’s nails for the simple frequentation of the house. To be ascertained also to those who correspond to the second genetic profile found.

The comparison will be wide. The DNA of the members of the Poggi family is already in possession of the investigators. Also Stefania and Paola Cappa, the cousins ​​of Chiara Poggi killed in Garlasco on 13 August 2007have already provided their DNA in the first investigations on the crime for which the then boyfriend was sentenced Alberto Stasi to 16 years in prison. However, their genetic material could be compared again with those present in the crime house for the new investigation. In all, a dozen names are not investigated, who are called to provide their DNA for the comparison. Among these are the friends of Andrea Sempliothe new suspect, and a friend of Alberto Stasi, the only one definitively sentenced for the crime. In addition to them three carabinieri and some of the rescuers.

The Poggi consultant, Marzio Capraasked to expand the list of people to whom withdrawals and comparisons will be made of DNA. It would like the genetic material of all those who handled finds relating to the case of Garlasco would be acquired. The Corriere della Sera He reports the motivation of the consultant: “To avoid finding us in years with a possible” unknown 3 “or” unknown 4 “which is simply the DNA of an old expert or carabiniere of the Ris, or mine that I participated in the investigations”.

The footprints

The subsequent analysis will be on fingerprints. There are 35 “para-adhesive” with the footprints found on the crime scene. From here we will try to extrapolate any new biological tracks. Among the tracks there is also the “10”, which was found on the internal part of the entrance door, stained with blood. On the other hand, the “Papillary 33” is not in the evidentiary accident, which was found on the wall of the stairs that bring to the cellar. According to the experts of the prosecutor, he would correspond to the semium, but there is only one photo remained, not the original plaster. Among the imprints also controlled those of the Poggi home dustbin.
