On January 30th, 1981, so this is almost 2 months exactly after Janette and Gabriella disappeared,
00:00:08
someone calls the Daily Mail's Rome office late at night claiming to have information about the women. The tipster
00:00:16
says that his name is Ian Ser and that Janette got a telegram the day she disappeared. Another telegram? Well, no,
00:00:24
no, no. This is this is the first telegram that she got. But he says he he says that he knows about that telegram
00:00:31
and then he says another telegram has been sent to Christy's. The important part of this is that none of this had
00:00:37
been made public yet. Now because it had not been made public, the editor didn't
00:00:43
take this seriously. So like we know this is important, but the editor who took the call didn't and was like, "Lol,
00:00:49
what are you talking about? Bye-bye." Yeah, thank you but no thank
