Hunters hiking in a wooded area find various items, including boots, purses, clothing, and bones, about 8 miles from a cabin where the women had sheltered. Police conduct a formal search and focus on specific items, including a fork matching those from the cabin.

Inside the purses, investigators find two watches believed to belong to Janette and Gabriella. Janette's watch, which is manually wound, stopped on December 12, 1980, at 7:20 a.m., while Gabriella's battery-powered watch stopped a week later on December 19 at 7:30 a.m.

The timing of the watches raises questions about the circumstances of their disappearance, with a local Italian newspaper reporting on the details.
