00:03:33
were preparing for a relaxing Sunday ahead it was a sunny day in their hometown of Potenza a mountain city in
00:03:40
the basilicata region of southern Italy parents Antonio and Philomena were looking forward to spending the day off
00:03:49
from the tobacconist they ran in the center of town and had traveled to the family's rural property 27 kilometers
00:03:55
southwest of Potenza in the small village of Tito whilst there was only a basic and too modest abode their country
00:04:04
house provided a haven to escape the hustle and bustle of the sea and the family cherished the quality time they
00:04:10
were able to spend together there they looked forward to their Sunday lunches filled with lively conversation and
00:04:18
home-cooked meals devout Catholics the claps were well-liked within their local parish and were a warm and loving family
00:04:26
who supported each other at every turn this particular Sunday Antonio and Philomena were joined in tito by their
00:04:36
second born son 20 year old luciano the trio were preparing lunch in anticipation for the arrival of the
00:04:44
remaining two collapsed children eldest son 24 year old and judah and the baby of the family 16 year old elisa the pair
00:04:55
were due to arrive just after midday along with one of her Lazer's friends Eliana de sillas
00:05:03
back in Potenza ELISA claps dressed in blue trousers a white sweater knitted by her mother and her trademark thin rimmed
00:05:11
designer glasses she kept her thick dark hair out and flowing below her shoulders
00:05:18
the bubbly teenager was popular amongst her peers who were drawn to her warm smile sense of humor and kind-hearted
00:05:26
personality as the youngest of the claps children she was doted on by her family
00:05:32
which contributed to her caring and compassionate nature although some noted ELISA could be a little naive at times
00:05:42
actively involved with her church ELISA sang in the cathedral choir and studied hard towards her passion of becoming a
00:05:49
doctor with her dream to one day work in Africa for a not-for-profit organization
00:05:56
at 11:00 a.m. the doorbell rang at the collapse flat in Potenza there was a Lisa's friend
00:06:04
Eliana the two had arranged to attend a Sunday morning Mass together at the Church of the Holy Trinity in the city
00:06:11
center they planned to return to a Lazer's home afterwards before departing to the country for lunch with the
00:06:18
remainder of the collapse family ELISA told her brother Judah they would be back soon and the two girls headed out
00:06:26
towards the church when an hour passed and the teenagers still hadn't returned to the flat gildo started to worry his
00:06:37
sister was known for her punctuality and always phoned home if she was running late then the doorbell rang and tudjarov
00:06:45
found a Liana standing there alone the teen told him she and ELISA had become separated at the church Eliana assumed
00:06:55
ELISA had returned home without her and was surprised to learn she wasn't there concerned Judah walked towards the city
00:07:04
centre whilst keeping an eye out for his sister before arriving to the Church of
00:07:09
the Holy Trinity the surrounding area was busy with crowds of people but there was no sign of ELISA
00:07:31
[Music] as two p.m. approached enter judo enter laser still hadn't arrived for lunch in
00:07:55
Tito the rest of the claps family decided to leave the food they had prepared and to make the brief journey
00:08:01
back to Potenza to see what was going on when they returned they were shocked and
00:08:07
distressed to learn that elisa had gone missing judo had already recruited a bunch of
00:08:14
his friends to scour the area but their efforts had failed to yield any results June or pressed Eliana for
00:08:22
the exact details of Elise's last-known movements that morning Eliana eventually
00:08:29
admitted she hadn't been completely honest the two girls had never intended to attend Mass together it had been a
00:08:37
cover so elisa could meet with a friend 21 year old a dental student Danilo Restivo ELISA was reluctant about the
00:08:48
meeting as she knew Restivo had unreciprocated romantic feelings for her and she found him quite odd but he had
00:08:56
been persistent as he wanted to give her a gift for passing her recent exams a laser agreed on account of feeling sorry
00:09:05
for him although he came from a prominent family with his father serving as director of the local branch of the
00:09:12
National Library Restivo was a loner with few friends he was often teased for his effeminate
00:09:19
voice and mannerisms and he lacked people skills he frequently behaved strangely towards
00:09:26
girls bragging that he could convince women to sleep with him for the Philip Morris cigarettes he constantly had in
00:09:32
his possession Restivo and ELISA had arranged to meet inside the church at 11:30 a.m.
00:09:40
just as Mass was finishing eliyana waited outside where she ran into another of the girls friends Angelica
00:09:49
neither girl saw ELISA leaved the church jeweled or recalled he had overheard his
00:09:58
youngest sister talking to Restivo on the phone the previous evening jewel dog didn't like Restivo he found him odd and
00:10:06
was suspicious of his interest in ELISA the siblings had run into him during a recent holiday enter the encounter had
00:10:14
unnerved ELISA who suspected Restivo may have followed her there despite her obvious discomfort
00:10:22
she had reassured her protective older brother that Restivo meant no harm jewel dog wasn't convinced unable to
00:10:31
shake the feeling that there was something shady about Restivo as Restivo was the last person believed to have
00:10:39
been with ELISA gildo called his family house demanding answers Restivo told him their meeting had only
00:10:47
lasted 15 minutes during which the pair sat by the altar and chatted ELISA had seemed a little troubled as she said she
00:10:56
had been harassed by a man in town earlier that morning afterwards she left the church and two
00:11:03
Restivo stayed behind to pray which is the last time he saw her as the hours passed by and there was still no sign of
00:11:13
ELISA her brother Luciano paid a visit to Restivo family home to question him in person Restivo hesitated to answer
00:11:23
any questions and stuttered over his answers appearing sweaty and agitated Luciano observed he had a large plaster
00:11:32
on the back of his left hand and asked what happened Restivo explained he had tripped over in a building site and cut
00:11:40
his hand requiring a visit to the hospital he insisted he knew nothing about Elise's whereabouts or where she
00:11:47
went after leaving the church Luciano left at the Restivo residence and returned a few hours later with a
00:11:55
judo hint oh the claps brothers were greeted at the door by rest Evo's parents who advised the siblings that
00:12:03
their son had a left for the 150 kilometer westerly journey to Naples to undertake his dentistry exams the next
00:12:11
day overwhelmed with concern the claps attended the local police station to report a laser as missing officers on
00:12:21
duty recorded the details but advised the panicked family not to worry reassuring them ELISA was a teenager and
00:12:29
was most likely just out with friends this was frustrating for the claps who knew ELISA was an obedient and
00:12:37
well-behaved girl who would never stay out without letting someone in her family know first they urged the police
00:12:45
to question Danilo Restivo but their request was dismissed with the officers suggesting the claps returned home and
00:12:52
wait for ELISA to show up instead unsure of what else to do Jewell dog returned to the Church of the
00:13:01
Holy Trinity this time finding the door was locked he tracked someone down who had access to the key and today let him
00:13:09
inside to search the area once again judo scoured the empty pews and as he approached to the altar noticed the
00:13:18
wooden door that gave access to the upper levels of the church was locked judo asked to gain entry but was
00:13:26
informed that the only person who had a key to the door was the priest father Dominique OSA beer known as Don Mimi Don
00:13:36
Mimi had left after Mass that afternoon to attend a spa retreat for the next few
00:13:41
days that night judo Luciano and to their friends stayed up until the early hours
00:13:49
combing the streets on foot and in cars desperately searching for any sign of ELISA
00:13:56
meanwhile Antonio and Philomena sat by the phone desperately willing dead daughter to
00:14:02
contact them the phone rang off the hook with calls from concerned friends relatives townspeople and to journalists
00:14:11
but there was no word from ELISA upon answering the phone on several occasions the claps were simply met with a long
00:14:20
eerie silence the following day Monday September 13 police began taking her Lisa's disappearance more seriously but
00:14:34
remained convinced she would likely show up soon Elise's family and friends took
00:14:40
to the streets of Potenza asking passers-by if they had seen the dark-haired dark-eyed a 16 year old lost
00:14:47
police inquired with local hospitals as to whether anyone matching a laser's description had been admitted the claps
00:14:56
printed a large posters of a Lisa's smiling face along with pleas for information and distributed them across
00:15:02
the city as her disappearance began gaining media attention on local radio and television stations as the search
00:15:11
intensified the collapse began receiving all kinds of tip offs from members of the public with alleged sightings coming
00:15:19
in from all over Italy numerous witnesses recalled seeing someone who matched a lisa's description in a white
00:15:26
Fiat Uno vehicle whilst the anonymous callers claimed they had a Lisa with them unharmed
00:15:34
police dismissed the majority of the dubious tip offs as none aligned with the times or location ELISA was last
00:15:42
seen a plausible report from Elise's friend Angelica who had run into Eliana outside the church the previous day
00:15:51
cleaned another of Elise's admirers had been hanging around to the city centre that day twenty-year-old
00:15:58
Aires gaga gay guy and his family had recently moved to Potenza from their home country
00:16:05
of Albania meeting the girls at a church camp the club's contacted a gay guy to see if
00:16:12
he had any information about Elise's whereabouts but he denied being anywhere near the church on the day of her
00:16:18
disappearance and insisted he hadn't seen her that afternoon as Danilo Restivo returned from his dentistry
00:16:28
exams police brought him in for formal questioning he told them ELISA was unhappy at home and had plans to run
00:16:36
away to Naples a densely populated city in southern Italy with a reputation for crime and
00:16:41
Damacio activity Restivo claimed he had attempted to talk a laser out of this plan warning her of the dangers a young
00:16:50
girl faced out on the streets of the gritty and harsh city he maintained his original story that she had left the
00:16:58
church following their brief conversation and that he had stayed behind to pray although he made no
00:17:06
mention of the present he allegedly wanted to give ELISA for completing her exams instead stating the purpose of
00:17:12
their meeting was to ask her advice about another girl he was interested in dating named Paola afterwards he walked
00:17:20
home traversing through a building site which he had visited with Paola a few days earlier where he fell and cut his
00:17:27
hand the cut was bleeding so he wrapped his hand in his jacket when Restivo returned
00:17:34
home and showed the injury to his sister she insisted he go to the hospital to have it cleaned up accompanying him
00:17:41
there heard around 1:00 p.m. he was seen by a doctor shortly after receiving a single stitch for the one centimeter
00:17:49
long laceration investigators noted Restivo seemed unusually precise in his answers which aroused their suspicions
00:17:59
they were also dubious of his claims that ELISA had an unhappy home life as there was nothing to support this theory
00:18:06
with friends attesting to the closeness of her loving family police requested Restivo lead them to
00:18:14
the building site where he sustained his hand injury to reenact his movements he
00:18:20
complied and at the site described falling headfirst down a full flight of escalators that were currently under
00:18:27
construction this seemed curious to police as Restivo wore glasses and today had miraculously
00:18:34
remained intact during this lengthy fall it also didn't make sense that the only
00:18:41
injuries sustained after such a tumble was just the small cut on his hand they visited Restivo residence and to request
00:18:51
that his parents provide them with the blood-stained clothing their son had been wearing at the time of his fall his
00:18:57
powerful and well-connected father Mauricio Restivo insisted on seeing a search warrant first as no such Warren
00:19:06
had been obtained police left the property empty-handed convinced the Nilla Restivo was hiding something
00:19:15
police ran a search on his name and discovered he had been involved in a violent attack in the past in 1989 that
00:19:24
then 14 year old was playing a game of cowboys and Indians with two adolescent boys when he told them he would take
00:19:31
them to his secret hideout he proceeded to tie their hands up blindfold them and
00:19:38
to lock them up before inflicting the younger of the two with a small knife wound to his neck the cut required
00:19:45
stitches and the families of the two boys pressed the charges which were later dropped when the Restivo family
00:19:52
settled the incident outside of court with a small financial son [Music] it wasn't the only criminal behavior
00:20:01
Restivo had exhibited a few months earlier he had been accused of harassing three female students who lived in an
00:20:08
apartment complex directly across from his family's home over the course of several months the women reported being
00:20:15
subject to harrowing phone calls in which Restivo under the guise of anonymity attempted to scare them by
00:20:22
describing the clothes they were currently wearing he would play music into the phone from horror movie
00:20:28
soundtracks and to the classical Beethoven song Fur Elise he would also send pornographic drawings twisted a
00:20:37
love letters and death threats all written under false names the early stages of the investigation into a Lisa
00:20:49
claps disappearance continued to be marred by inaccurate false and conflicting information sightings kept
00:20:56
coming in from a local residents who recalled seeing a laser after her meeting with Restivo but police were
00:21:03
unable to determine whether witnesses were confused with the timings or were purposely providing misleading
00:21:09
information to store the investigation one witness claimed to have seen ELISA being forced into a red vehicle by two
00:21:17
men but she later retracted her statement entirely investigators circulated details of the case to other
00:21:26
police stations throughout the country and although wary of vers steve-o's claims they alerted officials in naples
00:21:33
to the possibility the missing teenager could have traveled there with so little
00:21:39
viable information coming through and - no proof that a crime had occurred investigators were starting to believe
00:21:46
ELISA had simply run away from home and didn't want to be found this possibility
00:21:52
was vehemently disputed by the claps as none of her clothes or belongings were missing a member of her family said she
00:22:01
has not gone anywhere on her own free will wherever she is she's been taken by force we shall not rest until we have
00:22:10
her home on September 22 ten days since ELISA was last seen her albanian friend ares gagger was brought in for
00:22:22
questioning about the witness sightings that placed him near the Church of the Holy Trinity on the day of the team's
00:22:28
disappearance gagger denied being in the area that day saying he never left his neighborhood and gave police the names
00:22:37
of friends who could vouch for his whereabouts when police made contact with these friends they disputed a gages
00:22:44
story confirming that he was in fact in the city center near the church that day
00:22:51
gagger also drove a white Fiat Uno the same car several witnesses had described seeing a laser in on the day of her
00:22:59
disappearance suspicions that gagger could be involved were heightened when Elise's diary was recovered and analyzed
00:23:07
revealing that several pages had been ripped out scientists were able to reconstruct segments of the torn pages
00:23:15
and discovered that some of the words had been written in Albanian gagger was questioned again in October and early
00:23:23
December with his story changing age at one point he claimed that Danilo Restivo had approached him and told him
00:23:32
to deny to the police that the two knew one another a witness who claimed to have seen a
00:23:38
laser in the white Fiat Uno was shown a photograph of gagger and accepted he shared some physical similarities to the
00:23:46
vehicles driver on December 22 Ares Jagger was placed under arrest for providing false statements and held in
00:23:55
custody pending trial meanwhile investigators received the tip-off from a concerned citizen urging them to keep
00:24:05
looking into Danilo Restivo claiming he had exhibited some other disturbing behavior according to the caller Restivo
00:24:14
had a reputation around town for cutting the hair of unsuspecting young women on
00:24:19
public transport whilst it was true that police had received multiple reports of
00:24:25
such incidents in the past there was no evidence to suggest Restivo was the perpetrator of these bizarre acts in
00:24:34
December an anonymous phone call was placed to the police by a female who claimed to have spotted ELISA in Italy's
00:24:41
capital city of Rome 350 kilometres north-west from Potenza elisa was allegedly sighted being beaten and
00:24:51
forced into a white Fiat Uno at the end of the call The Voice pleaded helped her
00:24:59
and helped me a recording of the call was sent for expert analysis and - the results were surprising the female
00:25:10
caller was identified to be a Lisa's friend al jana de sillas [Music] investigators had been suspicious of
00:25:19
Eliana since the initial stages of being investigation as there were elements of
00:25:24
her story that didn't quite add up and she changed her version of events often one witness had reported seeing a laser
00:25:32
riding passenger on Eliana's moped near the collapse home at approximately 12:30
00:25:37
p.m. on the day she went missing and even described the very clothing the two teenagers had been wearing
00:25:44
Eliana strongly denied this sighting insisting she hadn't taken her moped out that day in addition it was her
00:25:54
boyfriend's mother who had tipped police off to Danilo Restivo zl-- edged disturbing hair cutting habits
00:26:01
investigators when they are considering the possibility the claim was a ploy to deflect attention from Eliana just like
00:26:09
the false sighting of ELISA in Rome if the witness sighting of ELISA riding passenger on Eliana's moped at
00:26:17
approximately 12:30 p.m. was correct this man Eliana was with ELISA after her meeting
00:26:24
with Restivo at the church for the misleading phone call Eliana was charged with providing false
00:26:33
information and scheduled to appear in court the following year with police confirming they weren't ruling her out
00:26:40
of the investigation the case languished for months with the collapse family convinced ELISA was likely no longer
00:26:50
alive and that Danilo Restivo was responsible for her death but to their frustration the police still hadn't
00:26:58
ruled out the possibility she had run away from home and hadn't taken long for the collapse
00:27:05
to suspect there were higher powers at play protecting the reputation of their daughter's killer given Mauricio Restivo
00:27:13
was a prominent man in Potenza with strong ties to the social elite and church officials they were convinced he
00:27:21
abused his position of power to protect his son and ultimately his family's reputation in addition they felt the
00:27:30
Church of the Holy Trinity priest Father Don Mimi was purposely obstructing the investigation and siding with the
00:27:37
Restivo family he had denied the collapse access to search the upper levels of the church and had refused to
00:27:45
let them place a box in the church where people with information could leave anonymous notes despite all other
00:27:51
churches in Potenza warmly allowing this service Don Mimi had also denied knowing
00:27:58
Danilo Restivo which was quickly proven to be a lie when a photograph surfaced of the two standing side-by-side in
00:28:06
celebration at rest Evo's 18th birthday party the Lisa's family spoke of their pain in an article with southern Italian
00:28:15
newspaper La Gazzetta dello Mezzogiorno in which Philomena claps a voiced her disappointment with the police she
00:28:24
blamed to the corrupt systems politics and churches that the basilicata region for the lack of action in helping find
00:28:31
her daughter saying I am a simple person and I asked for simple answers but there's nothing simple about the way
00:28:40
this region is run the grieving mother said she just wanted closure and a final resting place for her daughter somewhere
00:28:49
she could go to place flowers and sit beside her quote I miss her sitting at the table I miss her hugs she was always
00:29:00
so happy always so loving I often talk with her we have conversations in my head as if she's in the room with me
00:29:11
in fact she is here I know it which makes me sad because it means she can only be here in spirit and will never
00:29:20
walk through the door again I am lost without her she is my first and two last thought
00:29:28
every day a hopeful lead came through when police received a tip-off that someone matching Elise's description who
00:29:38
spoke Italian had been spotted across the Adriatic Sea in Albania the lead gained credibility when the witness
00:29:46
claimed that the month ELISA went missing sex traffickers returned to Albania from Italy in possession of a
00:29:53
dark-haired teenage girl investigators and news crews traveled to the Balkan country in search of her but the whole
00:30:01
story turned out to be a ruse designed to gain money and publicity for the false witness by June 1994 the
00:30:11
investigation into a Lisa's disappearance had hit a dead end the case was reviewed and an eight-page
00:30:18
interim report was prepared by the head of the police force Luigi Grimaldi concluding that ELISA was
00:30:25
a well-behaved teenager who would never put her mother through the torment of running away from home given her family
00:30:33
wasn't well off the possibility that she had been kidnapped for ransom was also excluded as was the theory she had been
00:30:41
abducted and forced into sex slavery as it was unlikely such gangs would operate
00:30:46
in broad daylight on a Sunday in the vicinity of a busy church Grimaldi's report ultimately concluded that ELISA
00:30:55
claps had to likely been murdered by someone she knew and her body was hidden somewhere in Potenza he spotlighted
00:31:03
Danilo Restivo and Aires Geiger as the main suspects with Restivo suspicious hand injury and
00:31:10
the fact he was the last one to see a laser alive making him the most likely perpetrator he recommended Danilo
00:31:18
Restivo be placed under arrest but the request was denied by the magistrate leading the investigation
00:31:29
in early September 1994 as the one-year anniversary of a Lisa's disappearance approached the residence of Potenza
00:31:38
planned the procession in her honor then on September 10 two days before it was scheduled to take place Danilo Restivo
00:31:46
was once again questioned by investigators determined to catch out the inconsistencies in his stories they
00:31:55
put it to him that the fall he had described at the building site was inconsistent with the injuries he had
00:32:00
sustained asking him if there was any other information he wanted to come clean with Restivo maintained he was
00:32:09
being truthful and had nothing to hide but the investigators were unconvinced and placed him under arrest for
00:32:16
deliberately providing false information he was assigned to the same cell as Aires Geiger which had been fitted with
00:32:24
a covert listening device in the hopes the two suspects would discuss a Lisa's disappearance and divulge information
00:32:31
that could be of use to the investigation following the arrest the heat was temporarily taken off Restivo
00:32:40
when Aires gages lawyer went straight to the media with the new information that
00:32:45
ELISA had once again been cited in Albania this time in a remote village many viewed it as odd that the lawyer
00:32:53
would actively draw attention back to his clients home country and the announcement did nothing but heighten
00:32:59
suspicions that gagger was involved in Elise's disappearance law enforcement followed up the claims as television
00:33:07
crews rushed to the Albanian village to interview local residents but the supposed sightings of ELISA turned out
00:33:14
to be a look-alike furthermore police attempts to record Restivo and gagger providing incriminating information were
00:33:24
unsuccessful during their time together in jail the two men never discussed the laser or the case at all
00:33:34
in January 1995 Danilo Restivo appeared in the Potenza Criminal Court to face the perjury charges against him tension
00:33:44
was palpable between the claps interest Evo families but the accused presented as calm and confident as his lawyer
00:33:51
reminded the court his client was simply on trial for deliberately providing false information and not for his
00:33:58
involvement with ELISA claps disappearance the trial was lengthy hindered by interruptions and delays
00:34:06
common in Italy's legal system various witnesses took the stand including the doctor who had treated the
00:34:14
wound on Restivo hand the doctor stated it was unlikely Restivo sin jury had been caused by a fall at the building
00:34:22
site and more likely it was caused by a sharp cutting object Paola the young woman Restivo claimed to have visited
00:34:32
the building site within the days before his injury testified that she had never
00:34:37
done any such thing she told the court Restivo had once told her he had the potential to harm others when he was
00:34:45
provoked and that he knew all the local churches inside out at the same time his
00:34:54
per jury trial was taking place Restivo also faced the court for separate charges relating to the three female
00:35:00
students he had been harassing via phone and mail for this crime he faced the punishment of up to 18 days
00:35:08
in prison but was issued with a fine of four hundred and fifty thousand earlier instead the equivalent to around four
00:35:16
hundred and fifty dollars in today's currency [Music] in early March 1995 Danilo Restivo was
00:35:25
found guilty of deliberately providing false information and sentenced to 20 months in prison the outside court gildo
00:35:35
claps told reporters he couldn't understand how Restivo could be found to guilty of being deceitful about what
00:35:41
happened on the morning of Elise's disappearance without being required to then provide the truth quote clearly
00:35:51
this isn't enough for my family I don't believe that it's enough for the city of
00:35:56
Potenza for civil society to us a verdict of this sort is of no use Ares Jagger and Eleana de sillas were
00:36:09
both found not guilty for the perjury charges against them with the judge concluding Eliana
00:36:15
had not lied to deflect attention from herself but out of fear that her own safety was in jeopardy
00:36:26
following the court proceedings reports continued to come in from people who believed they had seen a laser claps
00:36:33
with some witness sightings coming from as far away as Africa by the time the two-year anniversary of her
00:36:41
disappearance approached every possible rumor had circulated through Potenza including that ELISA had been caught up
00:36:49
with the Sicilian Mafia that she had been in a secret relationship with a priest and that she had been sold into
00:36:56
the sex trade the collapse were inundated with people seeking money for information wild claims from
00:37:04
clairvoyance and the tip-offs that continuously led to painful dead ends Danilo Restivo was released from prison
00:37:13
after serving just ten months of his 20 months sentence and to no further legal action was taken against him in relation
00:37:21
to Elise's disappearance police received two more reports from young women who claimed to have had their hair
00:37:28
mysteriously cut whilst traveling on public transport all of whom worked with a sketch artist
00:37:34
to create an image of the perpetrator the resulting image bore a striking resemblance to Restivo when shown a
00:37:43
photograph of him two women identified Restivo as the haircutter and agreed to participate in a police lineup but
00:37:51
changed to their minds at the last minute after questioning the accuracy of their initial identification over time
00:38:00
the ELISA claps case started to fade from the headlines although her family went to great efforts to keep it in the
00:38:07
public consciousness they appeared on television and radio shows at every opportunity and plastered posters of a
00:38:14
laser smiling face around the city her father Antonio became withdrawn whilst her brothers and mother remained
00:38:23
vigilant looking into every single lead to ensure no stone went unturned by 1998 five years had passed since
00:38:34
Elise's disappearance police declared the case was still open but the investigation was no longer active media
00:38:43
interest had dissipated with the case only receiving rare mentions upon approaching anniversaries whilst the
00:38:50
leads anonymous tip-offs and hoaxes had a long since abated as the Internet emerged into growing
00:38:58
prominence the collapse created a website where people could find information about ELISA and the
00:39:04
investigation on April 23 1999 an email was sent to the website attesting to be from ELISA herself it claimed she had
00:39:16
left Potenza at her own free will and was safe and well living in Brazil she apologized for causing pain to her
00:39:24
family and assured she had meant no harm that had been unhappy and had to get away she said she had no intention of
00:39:33
coming home and had only decided to get in contact to put her family's minds at ease explaining it would be the first
00:39:40
and the last time she would be in touch the email ended this is hello and a goodbye forever desperate to believe it
00:39:53
was real Philomena clung to the hopes her daughter was living happily in another continent but her sons weren't
00:40:00
convinced knowing their youngest sister had left the house with no money and no Passport
00:40:07
they employee to the services of a private investigator who traced the IP address of the email revealing it wasn't
00:40:15
sent from Brazil at all but from an internet cafe in Potenza the family inquired with the cafe and obtained a
00:40:25
list of all the registered users who had logged onto their computers that day logged in at the exact time the email
00:40:33
had been said was Danilo Restivo the collapse immediately informed police and demanded Restivo be questioned over the
00:40:43
email convinced he had crafted the lie to encourage them to give up on the search but they were bluntly told a
00:40:50
Lazer's case had now been shelved and if there was nothing more investigators could do in an interview with the
00:40:59
journalist Tobias Jones for his book blood on the altar Elise's mother Philomena later said Restivo was a wild
00:41:09
beast that grew up in the forest if I could I would tear out his eyes I could never forgive him
00:41:17
never there's no saint that could forgive him I can't leave Potenza this is where ELISA grew up and - this is
00:41:27
where I'll die and when I die I want to close my eyes serenely and say I did everything for ELISA
00:41:41
1,400 miles north from Potenza across the English Channel lies Bournemouth a relatively quiet and
00:41:49
peaceful seaside town located on the southern coast of Great Britain with a population of approximately 190 thousand
00:41:58
residents it is the largest town in southwest England Dorset County given its access to the Heritage listed
00:42:06
Jurassic Coast a 155 kilometer long stretch of coastline the area attracts around 7 million tourists per year the
00:42:16
1992 foundation of the new Bournemouth University continues to attract students from all over the UK Europe and the rest
00:42:25
of the world accounting for a vast amount of the town's population 48 year-old Heather Barnett was born and
00:42:35
raised in Dorset County growing up in the small agricultural town of stir Minster Newton an area known for its
00:42:42
livestock into dairy farms as a young girl down-to-earth Heather was considered shy and quiet but she came
00:42:50
out of her shell as she grew up singing in the church choir and performing in local pantomimes friends were drawn to
00:42:58
her feisty and joyful personality and she was popular within the town her father worked as an ironmonger
00:43:06
and Heather often helped out at his shot to earn extra cash before deciding to move to Bournemouth in her adulthood
00:43:14
over the years the tender and caring animal lover worked as a veterinary assistant and no pair and a waitress
00:43:21
before undertaking a curtain making course at a local college Heather soon fell in love with a man
00:43:29
named David Marsh into the two were married giving birth to a son Terry in 1987 followed by a daughter Caitlin in
00:43:37
1991 soon after the birth of their second child the marriage hit rocky grounds and
00:43:44
Heather and David sought a divorce leaving Heather to raise her two children predominantly as a single
00:43:50
mother the trio moved into a ground floor flat in a red brick building on capstan road
00:43:56
a quiet working-class neighborhood situated off one of Bournemouth main streets heather supported her family by
00:44:05
putting her seamstress skills to use sewing a range of items for clients around Dorset County including curtains
00:44:12
tablecloths cushions and clothing she worked from home enabling her time to focus on raising her two children who
00:44:21
were her pride and joy with limited income Heather lived a frugal but happy life
00:44:27
often gushing to friends and the neighbors about how proud she was of her kids and their performance at school the
00:44:37
morning of Tuesday November 12 2002 started like any other in Heather's household forever the earlybird she
00:44:45
arose early tending to the family sick cat before preparing breakfast for 14 year old Terry and 11 year old Caitlin
00:44:53
the Barnet children usually walk to school but it was a gray drizzly day so Heather agreed to drive them returning
00:45:01
home from the drop off shortly after 8:30 a.m. she anticipated a normal day ahead which typically consisted of a
00:45:10
morning cup of tea followed by making a few phone calls to clients before sitting down to begin her
00:45:16
sewing Commission's hours later at 3:30 p.m. Terry and Caitlin arrived home from
00:45:24
school finding the front door unlocked which they noted as odd as their mother was known to be security conscious
00:45:32
they walked inside throwing their backpacks down and calling out hi mum hether usually met them at the door with
00:45:42
a hug and a kiss but strangely she was nowhere to be seen the kids knew their mother couldn't be
00:45:49
too far away as her car was parked outside and to the radio was playing they looked around the small flat and
00:45:57
noticed that her sewing machine had been knocked on its side and there were some
00:46:00
other signs of disturbance Kaitlyn timidly knocked on the bathroom door pulling out to ask if her mother was
00:46:09
there when there was no response she slowly pushed the door open finding Heather lying on the floor in a
00:46:18
pool of blood after seeing the terrifying scene fit himself Terrie frantically called the police
00:46:27
telling them my mom has been murdered this is not a joke the distressed siblings then raced out of the house and
00:46:37
onto the street waving their arms in a panic and desperately screaming for help a couple who lived across the street
00:46:45
were pulling up to their house when they noticed the two frantic children and quickly climbed out of their car to ask
00:46:51
what was wrong due to the sheer scale of their distress it was difficult to understand exactly
00:46:57
what Kaylin and Terry were saying when the couple realized what was going on they directed the siblings into their
00:47:05
flat to wait for the police to arrive reassuring them that they were safe the police soon arrived and cordoned off
00:47:18
the entire Street declaring at a crime scene they recorded the names and contact details of all the gathering on
00:47:26
lookers to follow up for routine questioning in due course forensic pathologists were called to the site to
00:47:34
determine the cause of Heather's death who soon discovered the mother of two had sustained ten forceful fatal blows
00:47:41
to the head with a heavy instrument thought to be a hammer before having her throat slit her trousers were opened and
00:47:50
her bra had been cut from the front exposing her chest her breasts had been removed with a sharp object thought to
00:47:58
be a 14 centimeter long knife and carefully placed alongside her head the lacerations were neat and precise with
00:48:08
the killer having been careful and controlled in their actions a lack of blood from these injuries indicated the
00:48:15
dismemberment had been inflicted postmortem the horrific mutilations implied the attack was sexually
00:48:24
motivated although no traces of semen were found in both her hands Heather was grasping several strands of human hair
00:48:35
detective Superintendent Phil James quote for Heather's two children to come home and find their mother this way is
00:48:44
horrific not only have they been deprived of their mother but the killer was so callous to allow them to see her
00:48:51
this way this is the sort of thing you'd only expect to see in the Godfather the temperature of Heather's body
00:49:01
indicated she had been killed shortly after returning from dropping her children at school with her time of
00:49:08
death estimated as 9:30 a.m. this was further supported by telephone records which showed four incoming calls had
00:49:16
come through to the Barnett flat between 1050 6 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. all of which went unanswered scuff marks and
00:49:27
overturned furniture revealed a desperate struggle in which Heather had tried to run for her life blood spatter
00:49:34
found on the door near an upturned stool in heathers sewing room marked the location where she had been violently
00:49:41
struck the bloodstains also indicated she had sustained to the head injuries whilst close to the floor as though she
00:49:48
had already been not to the ground before being hit from behind further blood patterns showed the perpetrator
00:49:56
had her then dragged her unconscious body to the bathroom where they inflicted the knife wounds luminol tests
00:50:05
identified a trace elements of bloody footprints made from a size 9 to 11 Nike brand men's sneaker the distinctive
00:50:14
prints started in the bathroom then led back into the sewing room and stopped by
00:50:18
the time they reached the front hallway it was suspected the killer had to likely swap their blood-soaked shoes for
00:50:26
a cleaner pair they had brought with them before exiting the flat investigators conducted a thorough
00:50:34
search of the crime scene and declared nothing had been stolen ruling out the possibility the attack was motivated by
00:50:41
theft in addition Heather's front door keys were sitting in the internal lock and there were no signs of forced entry
00:50:49
suggesting she had known her killer and willingly let them inside her home several fathers found on Heather's body
00:50:58
were believed to have come from gloves to kill a war supported by the fact not a single foreign fingerprint was
00:51:05
uncovered coupled with the apparent change of shoes this evidence led police to the conclusion the murder was a
00:51:13
carefully planned ritualistic attack the killer had likely arrived to the scene armed with a full change of clothes
00:51:21
anticipating the amount of bloodshed however they had a left behind one clue draped over a chair in heathers sewing
00:51:31
room was a green hand towel that didn't belong to her family it was stained with
00:51:37
Heather's blood and given its location and positioning investigators determined it had been placed on the chair after it
00:51:44
had received the blood stains the killer likely brought the towel to the flat and
00:51:50
who used it to wipe Heather's blood from their face or hands before changing their shoes and clothing and leaving the
00:51:57
scene the National Criminal database was used to search for all sex offenders and
00:52:06
people with a serious criminal record within a five-mile radius of Heather's home but all were able to provide solid
00:52:14
alibis for the day of her murder investigators Dornoch the area and discovered no one who was home at the
00:52:21
time of Heather's murder had witnessed anything suspicious or heard any screams which was unusual given her home was in
00:52:28
a busy area surrounded by several other flats given it appeared she had willingly let
00:52:35
the attacker inside her home investigators suspected the killer was likely someone close to the family and
00:52:42
honed their suspicions in on Heather's ex-husband David but could find no evidence to link him to the crime
00:52:50
meanwhile the results of DNA testing conducted on the strands of hair found in Heather's hands came back it was
00:52:58
initially assumed Heather had ripped the hair from her attackers head as she fought for her life with investigators
00:53:04
hopeful they may be able to identify her killer through mitochondrial DNA but forensic tests revealed something
00:53:12
unexpected the hair had not been ripped out at all but instead cut neatly with a
00:53:19
sharp instrument whilst the hair in Heather's left hand was revealed to be her own the 9 centimeter long strands of
00:53:28
neatly cut hair in her right hand where identified as belonging to another woman
00:53:34
further scientific testing of the hair using a process known as stable isotope analysis revealed the unknown female
00:53:42
lived in the United Kingdom but had traveled to Spain or southern France and Florida less than three months before
00:53:49
her hair had been cut with such a detailed analysis police were confident this hair would help her lead them to
00:53:57
Heather's killer detectives questioned Heather's children and discovered that about a week before the murder the spare
00:54:05
key to their house had gone missing as she was on a tight income and couldn't afford to risk any of their possessions
00:54:12
being stolen Heather had the locks replaced when asked if anyone had visited their flat recently Terrie
00:54:20
explained one of their neighbors had stopped by a few days prior to his mother's death to inquire about having
00:54:27
some curtains made for his girlfriend it was the same neighbor who had consoled Terry and his sister upon the
00:54:34
discovery of their mother's mutilated body an Italian man he knew as Danny [Music]

00:59:15
as Danny had relocated to the United Kingdom in May of 2002 to live with an Italian woman named Fiamma whom he had
00:59:23
met on the Internet their home was directly across the street from Heather Barnett's
00:59:28
overlooking her bedroom and bathroom as Restivo didn't speak much English he immersed himself within the Bournemouth
00:59:35
Italian community frequenting the restaurants and bars that gave him a sense of his home country he and Fiamma
00:59:43
mostly kept to themselves communicating in Italian and shutting themselves off from their neighbours Restivo had
00:59:50
recently enrolled in a computer course at a local training center where he was also learning English to improve his
00:59:56
chances of gaining employment in his new country police had already questioned two Restivo in the early stages of
01:00:04
Heather Barnett's murder investigation as he and Fiamma were the first on the scene to help her children they had
01:00:11
embraced Terry and Caitlin and taken them into their flat for support whilst they waited for the police to arrive but
01:00:18
didn't offer any information that could help detectives with their investigation
01:00:23
five days after Heather's murder detectives visited her neighbors to request DNA samples as part of a process
01:00:30
of elimination Restivo and Fiamma obliged providing fingerprints hair samples and mouth swabs a detective then
01:00:40
asked to see the pair of shoes Restivo was wearing on the day of the murder although he hesitated at first he led
01:00:47
the detective to the bathroom where a pair of size 9 Nike sneakers were soaking in a bucket full of bleach
01:00:55
Restivo explained the shoes were dirty with a bad smell and he was attempting to clean them but the detective was
01:01:02
immediately suspicious and confiscated the shoes for further testing however they didn't reveal a match to
01:01:09
the bloody footprints in Heather's house [Music] Restivo was brought in for police
01:01:16
questioning and asked about his whereabouts on the morning of November 12 the day Heather was killed he
01:01:22
explained he had left the house between 810 and 8:20 a.m. to catch the bus to his computer training center where he
01:01:29
had attended his classes as usual before leaving for the day around 3:45 p.m. police looked into his alibi and
01:01:38
discovered it checked out Restivo had a bus ticket stamped at 8:40 4:00 a.m. Heather's car had been
01:01:45
captured on CCTV footage returning home from the school run at 8:37 a.m. meaning
01:01:51
he couldn't have been at her house at the time of the murder furthermore records obtained that
01:01:57
Restivo education facility confirmed he had signed in for his computer classes at 9:00 a.m. as stated in his police
01:02:05
report with his alibi in check and - no motive for Restivo to want to harm Heather investigators returned to their
01:02:14
focus to other potential suspects including Heather's ex-husband detective Superintendent Phil James describe to
01:02:22
the case as one of the most traumatic murders you can imagine saying this was a very carefully planned killing there
01:02:31
was nothing spur-of-the-moment about it this was an attack personal to Heather not the work of a random killer by early
01:02:42
2003 detectives had questioned over 100 people known to Heather but not a single
01:02:47
one could identify anyone who may hold a grudge against the mother of two or have
01:02:52
a reason to want to harm her with very few leads to go by police set out to find the weapons used in the murder they
01:03:02
searched parks backyards sheds rubbish bins and sewers around the bournemouth area for
01:03:08
the hammer and knife but to no success posters featuring Heather's photo were plastered around town appealing for
01:03:17
anyone with information about her killer to come forward whilst the 10,000 pound
01:03:22
reward was offered by Crimestoppers for anyone who had information that led to a
01:03:27
conviction in May 2003 police searched through Heather's computer and discovered she had sent an email to a
01:03:39
friend the week before her murder in which she mentioned that her spare house keys were missing she had been unable to
01:03:46
find to them after a visit from a neighbor who inquired about her seamstress services and she suspected he
01:03:52
may have picked them up by mistake she left a note in their letterbox asking to have the keys returned that neighbor was
01:04:01
Danilo Restivo other than the suspicious bleach stains sneakers police had a little reason to suspect Restivo had any
01:04:10
involvement in Heather's murder viewing him as an awkward and clumsy man incapable of such a sophisticated attack
01:04:18
now curious as to whether they may have missed the crucial detail they ran an online search for his name and made the
01:04:25
startling discovery this wasn't the first time Restivo had been a person of interest in a major police investigation
01:04:34
more than a decade earlier he'd been a prime suspect in the 1993 disappearance of 16 year old Italian teenager
01:04:43
ELISA collapse investigators revisited Restivo alibi at the time of Heather Barnett's
01:04:51
murder and realized that wasn't as airtight as they had initially thought they double-checked the signing book at
01:04:58
his computer training center where it became evident that on the morning Heather was attacked his signing time
01:05:04
had been altered Restivo had signed in at 9:00 a.m. the closer inspection revealed the entry had been amended from
01:05:12
its original time of 10:28 a.m. furthermore although receivers bus ticket had been stamped at 844 a.m.
01:05:21
there was nothing to confirm whether he had traveled all the way to the training
01:05:25
center or simply disembarked at the next stop and walked the short track back to
01:05:30
Heather's house for the second time in his life Danilo Restivo became a prime suspect and yet again the evidence
01:05:41
against him was purely circumstantial there was no motive murder weapon or forensic evidence linking him to the
01:05:48
Heather Barnett crime scene and therefore not enough to warrant an arrest police continued to appeal for
01:05:56
information and by the one-year anniversary of Heather's death in November 2003 they released additional
01:06:03
details about her murder to the public for the first time including the killer's Nike sneakers prints and the
01:06:10
gruesome dismemberment of her breasts when the public appeals generated no further leads they rehomed their focus
01:06:18
on Danilo Restivo International Criminal Police organization Interpol made contact with Italian authorities in
01:06:29
Potenza they notified them that were looking into Restivo as a person of interest in Heather Barnett's murder and
01:06:36
to request that any information in relation to his possible involvement in ELISA collapse disappearance they were
01:06:43
informed of her steve-o's reported haircutting fetish and previous criminal behavior which only served to highlight
01:06:50
him as a likely suspect for Heather's death in April 2004 police placed through a steve-o under surveillance
01:06:59
where they soon discovered the Italian had some disturbing habits on several occasions he visited through permille
01:07:07
Park a secluded and isolated Park just outside of Bournemouth that was frequented by female joggers during his
01:07:16
visits Restivo made efforts to appear inconspicuous dressing in dark clothing sunglasses and gloves with the hood of
01:07:24
his jacket often pulled tight around his face on May 11 2004 Restivo parked his car at
01:07:33
the end of a quiet lane way near through a mill park where surveillance officers
01:07:38
recorded in changing into a new shirt and shoes his movements were stealth and he appeared to be attempting to go
01:07:45
unnoticed as he crouched behind some tall grass and observed a female jogger go past the next day May 12 we're Stevo
01:07:56
returned to througt mill park wearing waterproof trousers he continued to act suspiciously and fears increased that he
01:08:04
intended to launch an attack police decided they couldn't take the risk and approached Restivo under the guise that
01:08:12
were inquiring about some thefts in the area he appeared sweaty and agitated as police commenced the search of his
01:08:19
vehicle where they discovered garbage bags scissors gloves a balaclava and a bag containing a large knife Restivo
01:08:29
explained that he found with the knife at the park and had collected it to ensure it wouldn't harm any children
01:08:35
the police surveillance had captured him conducting no such action a subsequent search of his house confirmed a blade of
01:08:45
the same description was missing from a knife block in his kitchen a month and a
01:08:51
half later On June 22 Danilo Restivo was placed under arrest in relation to Heather Barnett's murder he underwent
01:09:00
intense police interrogation over his whereabouts on the day of her death as well as his suspicious behavior in
01:09:07
through Premal Park he was also pressed about ELISA Collapse disappearance but he remained stoic and
01:09:14
stuck to all of his original stories after three days of questioning he was released after police failed to obtain
01:09:22
any incriminating evidence to charge him one detective remarked I reckon he must have had his nerves
01:09:31
extracted when he lost his milk teeth on a scale of nought to ten I never saw fear in his eyes
01:09:38
rise above zero meanwhile 1400 miles away in Potenza Jill door claps had never given up searching for his missing
01:09:50
youngest sister two years prior had marked a decade since Elise's disappearance with all the local
01:09:58
churches except for the Church of the Holy Trinity commemorating the solemn anniversary bus simultaneously ringing
01:10:05
their bells in the teenagers on earth when Jill dole learned that Danilo Restivo had been arrested in the UK in
01:10:14
relation to the murder of Heather Barnett he traveled to Bournemouth to meet with the detectives in charge of
01:10:19
the investigation relaying all the information he knew about their suspect upon his return to Potenza Jill Doyle
01:10:28
plastered posters throughout the city featuring photos of Heather and ELISA side-by-side atop the words we will
01:10:37
remember them the possible connection between the two cases quickly gathered media attention with Elise's mother
01:10:44
Philomena commenting to the press the person who took my little girl away from me 11 years ago also took Heather from
01:10:53
her children I wish I could see them when I heard of her death my first thoughts were for the children I can
01:11:02
imagine what they are going through I think I can understand how they feel having lost a loved one just like me
01:11:11
I feel a bond with them later in 2006 a plaque was erected on the street a laser
01:11:19
had reversed on her way to the Church of the Holy Trinity the day she went missing it declared along this route on
01:11:28
September 12 in 1993 ELISA claps disappeared at a distance of 13 years the city remembers the laser and awaits
01:11:38
the truth Bournemouth detectives started working closely with authorities in Italy
01:11:46
convinced the potential connection between Heather and Elise's cases was too strong to ignore as news reports
01:11:54
circulated throughout Dorset County several young women came forward to report having their hair snipped off
01:12:00
whilst travelling on public transport and in cinemas with the incidents beginning in 2002 when Restivo first
01:12:07
moved to the area furthermore several of these women identified the Italian as the perpetrator of these acts whilst the
01:12:18
majority of the story simply involved Restivo surreptitiously chopping blocks of the girl's hair more extreme reports
01:12:25
alleged that he was also masturbating underneath his coat whilst doing so women in Potenza began reporting similar
01:12:33
incidents they had enjoyed many years before with 24 women in total coming forward across both countries Restivo x'
01:12:43
hair cutting fetish was a major concern for Bournemouth detectives who suspected
01:12:48
his obsession had something to do with the mysterious lock of hair that had been left in Heather Barnett's hand each
01:12:56
of the women who reported having their hair cut by Restivo agreed to provide DNA samples to test against the mystery
01:13:03
hair but none of the results returned to match Bournemouth detectives consulted with
01:13:10
the FBI who concluded Heather Barnett's murder was not random the carefully planned describing her killer as a semi
01:13:18
reclusive but otherwise seemingly regular middle-aged men who exhibited stalker-like behavior in November 2006
01:13:28
police obtained a warrant to search Restivo flat inside a chest of drawers they discovered a lock of hair tied with
01:13:36
a piece of cotton hidden inside a plastic bag the hair was tested for DNA but returned and no match for Restivo
01:13:44
ELISA claps or Heather Barnett as the plastic bag also contained photos of his partner fiamma's family who was
01:13:54
determined to the hair most likely served as an innocent memento from a family member and was not associated
01:14:00
with anything criminal [Music] despite the unwavering efforts of police the investigation into Heather Barnett's
01:14:10
murder languished the case continued to be featured in sporadic news articles and on the BBC television show crime
01:14:18
watch which generated new leads and potential witness sightings but nothing substantial enough to warrant Danilo
01:14:25
Restivo or any other individual being charged with the murder in 2006 CCTV footage was aired on crime watch which
01:14:34
showed a blurry image of an unknown man crossing the street towards capstan Road
01:14:39
where Heather lived at 9:24 a.m. on the morning of her murder the TV show appealed for anyone with information
01:14:47
about the men in the footage to contact police prompting a shop assistant at a local
01:14:52
pharmacy to come forward and identify the man as one of her regular customers Danilo Restivo however as this witness
01:15:02
was already aware that Restivo was a person of interest in Heather's murder police were dubious as to whether this
01:15:08
had influenced her identification meanwhile in Italy in 2007 a thread was created on Italian community website a
01:15:19
polo de Lorette day discussing a laser collapse and murder over 350,000 people engaged with the
01:15:27
site to share theories rumors and speculations many posts defended Danilo Restivo and accused the collapse family
01:15:36
of running a smear campaign to destroy his family's reputation a private investigator hired by Elise's family
01:15:44
infiltrated the site discovering that Restivo himself was behind several of the users accounts then in 2008 advances
01:15:55
in technology led to retesting of the mysterious green blood-stained hotel found in Heather Barnett's flat the
01:16:03
blood on the towel had already been determined to belong to Heather but it had long since been speculated that the
01:16:10
killer had used the towel to wipe clean their own face or hands this time forensic experts were able to test for
01:16:18
traces of sweat and skin flakes whilst the results were unable to determine with 100% certainty whether the traces
01:16:26
came from Danilo Restivo experts ruled there was only a 1 in 57,000 chance that the DNA belonged to someone else in 2009
01:16:39
Chris DeVos bleach soaked Nike sneakers were also subject to advanced forensic testing trace elements of blood were
01:16:47
uncovered on the inside of the shoes indicating Restivo had blood on his socks when he placed his feet inside the
01:16:53
trainers this supported investigators initial theories that Heather's killer had brought a second pair of shoes to
01:17:00
change into following the attack however the exposure to bleach had rendered it impossible to obtain a DNA
01:17:08
profile from the blood Restivo explanation as to why he was bleaching his shoes was that he thought the bleach
01:17:16
was soaked adding he must have gotten the italian and english words mixed up the evidence against the Restivo was
01:17:25
mounting but police were determined to uncover concrete proof before proceeding with an arrest knowing a jury could
01:17:32
easily deliver a not guilty verdict if presented with the evidence they had obtained so far then on March 17 2010
01:17:43
something unexpected happened in Potenza maintenance workers were undertaking repairs on the Church of the
01:17:55
Holy Trinity which had been damaged by leaks throughout the winter season two maintenance workers entered a wooden
01:18:03
door by the altar and ventured upstairs to the building's attic which overlooked
01:18:07
the city using a torch to illuminate the dark area one worker began searching the
01:18:14
space for damage when he noticed something lying in the corner of the room behind a pile of rubble his shone
01:18:22
his light on the object and realized in horror that he was looking at a mummified human body police and forensic
01:18:31
investigators were called to the scene where inspection of the body and surrounding area revealed several items
01:18:37
of well-preserved clothing and jewelry including a pair of shoes and necklace and round rimmed eyeglasses the items
01:18:47
were shown to the collapse family who confirmed them to be the items ELISA had born the day she went missing the
01:18:55
heavily decomposed body was taken for DNA testing confirming that after 16 years
01:19:01
a laser collapse had finally been found an autopsy revealed that the teenager had been stabbed to nine times in the
01:19:11
chest and back before being suffocated the murder weapon was likely a pair of scissors with defense wounds to her
01:19:19
hands indicating ELISA had fought against her attacker her pants had been cut the on the front
01:19:26
and sods and her bra had been cut from the front bruising around her pelvis indicated she had been sexually
01:19:33
assaulted although no traces of semen were detected in her hands were two separate locks of neatly cut hair and
01:19:43
more bundles also lay alongside her body it was concluded that ELISA had likely been killed in the attic of the church
01:19:53
on the day of her disappearance before her body was dragged into the corner of the room and covered with rubble traces
01:20:01
of another person's DNA were found and sent to geneticist Professor Vincenzo Pascal II at the Catholic University of
01:20:09
the Sacred Heart in Rome professor Pascal II had strong ties to the Church of the Holy Trinity and his examination
01:20:18
of the crucial unknown DNA had a laser clacks crime scene involved a quick analysis using outdated methods he
01:20:27
promptly ruled the DNA did not come from prime suspect Danilo Restivo seeking a second opinion the magistrate in charge
01:20:38
of the murder investigation sent the DNA to the Department of scientific investigations who declared the DNA was
01:20:46
indeed a match to Danilo Restivo professor Pascal II was later convicted of forgery into given an 18-month
01:20:54
suspended sentence as news spread that ELISA collapse had been discovered in the very location she was last seen the
01:21:04
people of Potenza flocked to lay flowers plants and teddy bears at the steps of the Church of the Holy Trinity citizens
01:21:13
reeled over the reality that for close to two decades ELISA had been lying in the Attic of the very place they had
01:21:20
gathered to pray for her graffitis sprung up around town blaming the church's former priest the father
01:21:27
Don Minnie for covering up the teenager's death Don Minnie had passed away two years prior taking any secrets
01:21:36
to the grave in a meeting with the journalist Tobias Jones for his book blood on the
01:21:43
altar another of Potenza is Catholic priests Don marchello kotse said the collapse
01:21:50
family have been through great suffering they've been violated in their emotions
01:21:55
to find the cadaver of her daughter in the church has been a laceration to Filomena's her because she is a woman of
01:22:04
faith she went to that church went there to pray to the Eternal Father that she should find her daughter and all that
01:22:13
time in that church ELISA was up there you can imagine the storm in the heart of her mother on May 19 2010 12
01:22:27
detectives gathered outside Danilo Restivo red brick home in Bournemouth and placed the 38 year old under arrest
01:22:35
for heather Barnett's murder he was handcuffed and delayed outside covering his face with a towel and declaring his
01:22:43
innocence as he accused the police of harassment during subsequent police interrogation he was informed that his
01:22:51
DNA had been found on the green towel located inside Heather's home he had previously denied owning the tower but
01:22:59
now considered he had given it to her as a color sample for the curtains he commissioned her torso
01:23:06
Restivo was refused to bail and held in custody until the preliminary hearing scheduled later that year upon hearing
01:23:15
the news of her steve-o's UK arrests Elise's reclusive father Antonio gave his first ever interview to the Italian
01:23:23
media where he said with bitterness I don't believe in justice anymore Al's is a country of buffoons of clowns and
01:23:34
jokes the truth doesn't count anymore of what interest is it to me she ELISA isn't here today I won't go to her
01:23:46
funeral I will stay here to mourn her alone one week after Restivo was taken into custody in the UK Italian
01:23:58
authorities issued a warrant for his arrest for the murder of Alicia claps the prosecution requested Restivo be
01:24:06
granted temporary extradition to face questioning in Italy but the request was denied pending completion of the UK
01:24:14
legal process the preliminary hearing for Heather Barnett's case commenced on November 8 2010 whereas Devo entered his
01:24:24
plea of not guilty members of Elise's family were in attendance who held on to strong hopes
01:24:31
the accused killer would receive a prison sentence in the UK instead of Italy where they feared he might be able
01:24:38
to find a way around the system on May 4 2011 Restivo faced the trial in the Winchester Crown Court overseen by
01:24:48
presiding judge justice Ian Burnett an interpreter was present for the entire duration translating from English to
01:24:56
Italian as television crews gathered from across the UK Europe and the United States
01:25:04
Elise's mother Philomena was granted permission to sit in a courtroom instead of the public gallery so Restivo would
01:25:11
be able to see her face the prosecution had been permitted to present evidence relating to Elise's
01:25:19
murder telling the jury that whilst they were not required to deliver a verdict in
01:25:24
relation to that case the evidence served to prove that the killings of both victims were so similar that there
01:25:31
was no doubt they were both done by the same person the evidence linking Restivo
01:25:37
to heather Barnett's murder was presented over the course of seven weeks including the bleach soaked to Nike
01:25:44
sneakers the green towel the police surveillance videos at through permille park and the CCTV footage of the man
01:25:51
crossing the street towards Heather's house which one witness had identified as Restivo to highlight his haircutting
01:26:00
fetish and the link to the hair placed in Heather's hands various women from both Bournemouth and Potenza testified
01:26:07
that Restivo had given them unwanted hair cuts during bus rides and in cinemas the prosecution worked to discredit
01:26:16
Restivo alibi pointing out the training centers Sounion book had been doctored and arguing the accused could have
01:26:23
easily purchased the bus ticket and disembarked straight away to fabricate that he was commuting at the time they
01:26:31
also presented in new evidence that had come to light since receivers arrest forensic computer experts had searched
01:26:38
the hard drive of the computer he had used at the training center on November 12 2002 the day of Heather's murder
01:26:45
which revealed that no human activity was found on the computer between 1908 and 10:10 a.m. that day furthermore in
01:26:56
the weeks and months following the crime the computer had been used to search for
01:27:00
information and updates regarding the case including any reported witness sightings and the 10,000 pound reward
01:27:10
Italian witnesses and two law enforcement agents were called to discuss the circumstances of a laser
01:27:16
collapse disappearance and murder with one forensic expert concluding there were similarities in the way both
01:27:22
victims bras had been cut from the front Danilo Restivo took the stand denying being the figure captured on the
01:27:31
CCTV footage on Heather Street on the morning of her murder when presented with the surveillance team's findings
01:27:38
that he appeared to be stalking women in through peal Park Restivo explained he had only gone there to enjoy the
01:27:45
wildlife he reasoned the balaclava found in his car was to help with his sinus problems and that he had changed clothes
01:27:53
in the park who do to thorough issues to account for any discrepancies in his stories he claimed he suffered from
01:28:02
sleep apnea which had a negative impact on his memory under cross-examination he
01:28:08
denied masturbating in public but admitted to the haircutting incidents saying the habit started as a dare when
01:28:15
he was 15 years old from there he realized he liked the feel and smell of hair and continued doing it meaning no
01:28:23
harm and not realizing it was an offense to do so in a bid to gain sympathy from
01:28:29
the jury he presented himself as a misunderstood and lonely man who just wanted to be loved his manipulative
01:28:38
tactic was obvious with one Italian reporter remarking that's always been his strategy he appears to be like the
01:28:47
village idiot and people underestimate him he's very clever very wily [Music] On June 30 2011 the jury of seven men
01:29:02
and five women deliberated for five hours before delivering their verdict after nine years of intense
01:29:09
investigation Danilo Restivo was found guilty for the murder of Heather Barnett in sentencing Heather's daughter Caitlin
01:29:19
presented her victim impact statement which read I used to have nightmares and flashbacks reminding me of the events of
01:29:28
November 12 I also don't like going into bathrooms I used to think that someone might be waiting for me
01:29:36
now I just thought a fear of what's behind the bathroom door it was at that moment that I felt as if my heart had
01:29:45
been ripped out my mom is no longer able to help me celebrate my successes and to
01:29:51
pull me through the disappointments I will never get the chance again to tell her how much I loved her and how much I
01:29:59
knew I miss her I feel a great anger at the accused without him she'd still be here
01:30:08
how could he intrude into our safe and happy family home and to then take everything from us in such a horrific in
01:30:15
the callous way during his sentencing remarks Justice Burnett declared the seriousness of this offense is
01:30:26
exceptionally high he knew an 11-year old girl and a 14-year old boy would find their mother butchered on the
01:30:34
bathroom floor this feature of the case will haunt those who sat through it why you picked Adam Barnard as your victim I
01:30:43
do not know but it's clear that you did so to satisfy a sadistic sexual appetite
01:30:49
the evidence in this case shows you are a cold depraved calculated killer Danilo Restivo was sentenced to life in
01:31:00
prison with no minimum term outside court Heather's brother Ben expressed his relief at the verdict saying our
01:31:11
biggest fear was always that this might happen to somebody else Chris TiVo has already had eight years
01:31:18
of freedom that my sister never heard I've thought about the death penalty but I think it's too good for him it seems
01:31:26
like the easy way out I think he's going to have a miserable rest of his life in
01:31:32
prison initially on July 1 2011 almost 18 years after her murder a white coffin containing a laser claps
01:31:44
body was displayed at her former high school along with an image of her smiling face as the people of Potenza
01:31:51
gathered to pay their final respects the following day and outdoor funeral was held in one of the town squares as the
01:32:00
collapse family refused to put a laser back inside a church over 7,000 mourners attended the memorial including
01:32:10
politicians mayors and officials from nearby towns with many local businesses shutting down for the duration of the
01:32:17
service to one out the teenagers memory father Don Marshall or kotse who had provided unwavering support to the
01:32:27
collapse family over the years delivered the service he gave an impassioned speech about the unjust nature of
01:32:34
Elise's death quote Lord how was it possible that the life of a just blossoming flower was cut off and then
01:32:45
left to rot in the dark corner like someone threw away a weed and how was it possible that all that happened in a
01:32:53
church your church Lord we would like to talk to you with so much suffering in our hearts about those who prefer to
01:33:03
whisper rather than shout following the service Elisa's the lily covered coffin was finally laid to rest
01:33:14
at the Potenza cemetery her gravestone declaring my long journey in the dark has finished on a warm spring day I am
01:33:25
finally home on November 8 2011 ELISA collapse murder trial was held in Salerno a port city southeast of Naples
01:33:40
Italian authorities had issued a warrant for a steve-o's extradition from the United Kingdom but as the convicted
01:33:47
killer had appealed his conviction for Heather Barnett's murder the extradition warrant was rejected into the Italian
01:33:54
trial proceeded in absentia Restivo accepted the prosecution's case and chose not to enter a plea requesting a
01:34:04
shortened right trial which enabled speedy legal proceedings without any dispute against the evidence although
01:34:12
the physical and circumstantial evidence against him was overwhelming the case against him was strengthened when
01:34:19
another woman testified the prior to Elise's death Restivo had also invited her to the Church of the Holy Trinity
01:34:26
under the guise of wanting to give her a present just like he had done with ELISA
01:34:32
when he invited the woman up to the attic she felt uneasy and a left to the prosecutors this helped paint a picture
01:34:41
of the fade ELISA had likely endured back in 1993 on November 11 2011 Danilo Restivo was sentenced to 30 years in
01:34:52
prison for ELISA clubs murder upon hearing the verdict her family burst into tears
01:35:01
the Diocese of Potenza applied the suit donello Restivo cleaning the murder and investigation had damaged the image of
01:35:09
the church however a judge rejected the application on the grounds that the Church of the Holy Trinity had failed to
01:35:17
act responsibly since the Lisa's body had been discovered the church had come under
01:35:23
heavy scrutiny after it was revealed that in January 2010 two months before Aliza's remains were officially
01:35:31
discovered two cleaners had come across the body in the Attic they notified the new priest in charge of a church who had
01:35:39
in turn alerted the bishop however the grim discovery had not been recorded to the police when this
01:35:48
revelation surfaced the church officials claimed ignorance saying they had misunderstood the information whilst
01:35:56
there was believed the cleaners didn't come forward to authorities out of fear in another blow to the church a saw had
01:36:05
been used to create a hole in the beams above the area where Lisa's body lay indicating someone within the church had
01:36:12
been aware of the murder and fashioned a means for the smell of her decomposing body to escape a search of the Attic had
01:36:21
also revealed a mattress stained with the semen of two unknown men whilst this was deemed unrelated to Elise's murder
01:36:29
had indicated the church have been used for intimate acts with rumors that former priests father Don Mimi engaged
01:36:36
in sexual activity with men not there following the exposure of the church's darkside the collapse family released
01:36:45
the statement to the Italian media which read once again silence enter the tutelage of interests
01:36:53
that have nothing to do with Christian values prevail over the piety that one should have for a lacerated course
01:37:01
we believed that this havoc definitely puts an entire community on its knees in March 2012 worst Evo's application to
01:37:14
appeal his conviction for Heather Barnet's murder was rejected but he was granted permission to appeal his life
01:37:21
sentence his lawyers argued that it was unfair to his client that the prosecution had been allowed to use
01:37:29
evidence from Elise's murder at Heather's trial and to that in turn he should at least be given the opportunity
01:37:35
to have his sentence changed to include a minimum turn on November 21 2012 the Court of Appeal overturned Restivo life
01:37:46
sentence sentencing him to a minimum of 40 years imprisonment instead the outside court Heather's brother Ben
01:37:55
expressed his disappointment at the decision saying I feel the original sentence was adjust than to write one
01:38:04
whilst 40 years is long it does not preclude Restivo killing again on release perhaps a whole life sentence
01:38:13
would have given Restivo the opportunity to reflect upon what he has done but somehow I doubt that this would have
01:38:20
ever been the case with Danilo Restivo now convicted for the murders of Alicia claps and Heather Barnett investigators
01:38:32
speculated whether he could be linked to other unsolved crimes there were several
01:38:37
other murders throughout Europe over the years in which female victims had their
01:38:41
breasts mutilated and it was theorized Restivo may have been responsible but no clear links were established there was
01:38:51
also the disappearance of 27 year old Korean woman Erik Aaron's a man who had vanished from her home in the
01:38:57
northwestern Italian mountain region of Alves da on April 20 2003 Erika was never found and following Restivo arrest
01:39:08
in Bournemouth police conducted a search of his computer and found that he had saved the enemy
01:39:13
each of the missing woman most compelling was his potential link to the death of 27 year old Yong hak Shin
01:39:22
better known as Oki a South Korean student who was studying English in Bournemouth at 3 a.m. on July 12 2002
01:39:31
just four months prior to Heather Barnett's murder Oki was walking home and a residential street after a night
01:39:39
out with friends she was just three blocks from Danilo Restivo home when she was stabbed three times in the back when
01:39:49
paramedics arrived Oki was still alive and was able to describe her attacker as a man wearing a mask she was taken to
01:39:58
pool General Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries shortly after there was no forensic evidence found at
01:40:06
the scene but residents reported hearing Oki screams followed by the sound of a car making a hasty u-turn and fleeing
01:40:14
the area six weeks after Okies murder an informant named Beverly Brown told police that 27 year-old heroin addict
01:40:25
Omar penguin was responsible for the crime beverly claimed she was driving banquet and two other men when he asked
01:40:33
her to pull over he proceeded to jump out of the vehicle and attack Oki after she refused his offer to join them
01:40:42
banquet was arrested and tried in court twice but to miss trials were declared after the jury was unable to reach a
01:40:50
verdict the problem was that Beverly Brown was seen as an unreliable witness she had made false accusations in the
01:40:58
past her stories were full of inconsistencies and some jurors noted she appeared intoxicated when taking the
01:41:06
stand in court in addition CCTV footage obtained from the area of Okies murder failed to place
01:41:14
Beverly's car at the scene but following a third trial in January 2005 omar penguin was eventually convicted of
01:41:24
Okies murder despite having two subsequent Appeals rejected many continue to believe
01:41:32
banquet is innocent of Okies murder with Danilo Restivo being the real culprit like his other victims okie was small
01:41:42
dark-haired and attacked from behind on the twelfth day of the month which some have theorized may hold some
01:41:49
significance to Restivo it was also the twelfth day of the month that surveillance police and blew their cover
01:41:56
in through premier park as they were concerned he was about to launch another attack
01:42:03
although the murder weapon used to kill Loki was never recovered forensic evidence has suggested the blade used
01:42:10
was consistent with the knife police confiscated from Restivo following his suspicious behavior in through permille
01:42:17
park police also confiscated gloves and a balaclava from Restivo that day in addition unknown strands of hair were
01:42:28
found on the pavement near Okies body but these may have come from a nearby hair salon although elements of Okies
01:42:37
murder did not coincide with Restivo known MO her attack was conducted at the opening of a narrow secluded passageway
01:42:46
with theories circulating that Restivo may have intended to drag her there for a prolonged attack that was more fitting
01:42:53
with his MO and he was scared off when Oki started to scream home our banquet is currently serving the 17th year of
01:43:02
his prison sentence for Okies murder and continues to protest his innocence hether Barnett's family have made it
01:43:14
clear they do not intend to let the evil actions of Danilo Restivo tarnish their
01:43:19
cherished memories of their loving sister and mother with her two children determined to live a life that would
01:43:26
make her proud during Restivo sentencing a statement prepared by Heather's daughter
01:43:32
Kaitlyn was read aloud declaring I want to be known for who I am not the daughter of a murder victim
01:43:41
what happened forced me to grow more quickly I will never get the chance to say I love her or how I miss her my home
01:43:51
has been taken away and often never been back I have chosen not to be a victim I
01:43:57
want my mum to be proud following Restivo conviction Heather's sister Denise delivered an emotional statement to the
01:44:08
press which read we had all looked forward to life getting a bit easier for Heather as the children entered their
01:44:15
teens and left her more time for visits and activities away from home the major sadness for her family is that through
01:44:24
her early death she missed the joy of watching Kaitlyn perform on stage do well in her exams and develop her career
01:44:33
as Terry was a little older she had been able to take pride in his mountain bike
01:44:38
racing and interest in the technical side of bikes but missed out on his career and interest in business she
01:44:46
would have been thrilled at the recent arrival of her nephew and of her nieces son and would have been busy knitting
01:44:53
for them Heather loved her children very much she was kind and honest with strong
01:45:00
ethical principles which he passed on to Terry and Caitlin she always worked hard at whatever she
01:45:06
did and built up a business on word-of-mouth and reputation Heather was feisty had a deep laugh and a wicked
01:45:15
sense of humor the years since November 2002 has been difficult but it has also been a time that has brought out the
01:45:24
best in countless people strangers and friends alike we see ourselves as survivors not victims the Church of the

01:45:51
keep going g-dog replied i made a promise to my sister many many years ago I promised
01:46:01
that would bring her killer to court when you've lived with this for so long it becomes a part of you I have a lot of
01:46:09
fear about what will happen one day if it's all over having hunted and battled all those years it will leave an
01:46:18
emptiness when it's all over until you have certainty until you find a body there's no morning you can't work
01:46:28
through your bereavement you can never metabolize your pain it's a suspension of life following Restivo

ever be at peace but she can be she can finally rest in peace [Music] you
