Giulia Cecchettin murder, the missing cell phone and Turetta’s letter to her parents

Although investigators have searched everywhere for it, Giulia Cecchettin’s cell phone cannot be found. According to Filippo Turetta’s account in the interrogation, the smartphone would have been thrown together with a knife and a tablet near Fossò, in the province of Venice. But these objects were never found.

“I went north,” Turetta reported, as reported by the Corriere della Sera. «Yes, I threw the knife, his cell phone and my tablet, it was a few… not long away from Fossò, I remember that I had recently passed a large roundabout and on a side road there was a small ditch and I threw things there». Turetta speaks of a “secondary road” but “fairly large”, after a “large roundabout where there were signs indicating locations between which there were four, it seems to me, different roads”. But so far, no one has found that ditch.

Analysis on Turetta’s car and computer also showed discrepancies between the facts already established and the reconstruction that the young man formulated during the interrogation: his truth would not completely correspond to what the investigations revealed.

In the interrogation, Turetta also said that he had thought about committing suicide after killing Giulia Cecchettin. He would also have written a letter probably addressed to his parents, in which he confessed to the murder but he also gave directions to find the body of his victim. «When I was stopped by the German police, in the car there were some blankets, a bag with a box with something to eat, some sweets, a bottle of sambuca, gifts for Giulia, two backpacks», he explained, referring to when he was stopped in Leipzig. «Then there were some sheets of paper or a kind of letter, which I had written before trying to commit suicide in Berlin».

The date of the hearings has been set for July 15 and 18but it is not yet certain that they will be held, since the lawyers of Filippo Turetta, Giovanni Caruso and Monica Cornaviera, until July 12 they can ask for immediate judgment in the Court of Assizes, skipping the preliminary phase. They will almost certainly ask for a psychiatric evaluation.
