“The searches were a failure”

AGI – It was almost certain, “99%” it was said immediately, that those poor remains found on the hill of Caronia, were by Gioele Mondello. Now recognition by his father Daniele of the shoes identified in that area, give further confirmation. The murder-suicide remains among the leads followed by the prosecutors according to which mother and son died in the same place.

Daniele Mondello presented himself at the Calipari barracks in Messina where he had been summoned, immediately after going to the police station, leaving from which he had re-launched his accusations: “The searches were a failure“. For the lawyer cousin” the credibility of the state is seriously compromised.

The lawyer Pietro Venuti explained to AGI that to his father only the blue shoes were shown, and not the other finds, shreds of a blue t-shirt and white shorts: “We wanted to avoid an additional agony. It was enough to recognize the shoes as those of his son Gioele”. The same dad bought them, along with Viviana, Daniele said crying during this new dramatic passage.

He then confirmed that they are awaiting the call for the autopsy that will take place in these days and that today the DNA was taken from the father of Joel and the father of Viviana Parisi, Luigino, for the definitive recognition.

For the prosecutor Angelo Cavallo, Viviana and her son died in the same place. Murder-suicide remains among the hypotheses followed: “We are proceeding with this type of crimes which still remain registered, of course against unknown persons and it is clear that these are the hypotheses”. But right now, he points out, “all remain open”.

The medico-legal investigations will also serve to understand whether it was a contextual death or occurred in separate moments: first of all, we need to reconstruct the paths traveled by Viviana, by Gioele, by other people, including animals: from the area of ​​the remains, crossing a about sixty meters of scrub, you come to a path that in about three hundred meters could lead to the pylon. Therefore, he argued, the work of a task force of experts and professionals that will soon be formed will be important.

The prosecutor says: “We have an idea”. The consultants “immediately give indications on which we work, without prejudice to all the investigations that will arrive later. When we talk about 90 days by the experts, it is for the filing of the written report, but obviously their ideas are made to them and they communicate them to us to guide the investigation. There are some leads that we consider more reliable than others “.

Useful information will also come from a team of experts: “We need some time to identify the professionals that we consider the most suitable to get to give an answer to what happened and answer the questions we are asking ourselves in this period”. Then the clarification: “The child’s body has never been moved “.

At the limit the hypothesis is that the animals have intervened and have operated a dispersion of the remains. I have never talked about a displacement of the body by anyone “. Of course, for Cavallo,” we still need to understand and ascertain “how those bone remains from the trellis got to the place where they were found.

The accusations of the family, of father Daniele in particular, echo: “Five hours of work by a volunteer compared to 15 days by 70 experienced men, give me objective doubts about the methods adopted for the research. Mine does not want to be a controversy, but the simple consideration of a husband and father destroyed by the loss of his own family “.

Even his lawyer cousin, Claudio Mondello, is tough on this point: “Even to find Gioele, my family had to rely on their own strength: once again they had to ‘put a piece of it’. The credibility of the state is severely compromised and I can only regret it. I must, however, thank the many volunteers who supported us with their sweat and love. It is an Italy that gives us back hope “.

Among the rescuers intervene the fire brigade: “In these terrible days – writes the regional management – after finding a few days ago the lifeless body of mother Viviana, animated by a strong feeling of hope, we did everything possible, together with other bodies and institutions involved in the research, to find Joel as well.

Thanks to the heartfelt appeal of the father and the sounding board that the media have made to this tragic story, there has been a new impetus to the research provided by the local residents who voluntarily joined the men and women institutions and organized volunteers, already involved in the field, bringing undisputed added value to the activity, thanks also to the specific knowledge of the territory “.

Giuseppe Di Bello, the former sergeant of the carabinieri, from Capo d’Orlando, is convinced: “Joel accompanied my steps. I identified with a 4 year old child, that the afternoon is there, the mother shows no signs of life and as soon as the darkness comes it does not go upwards, but chases the light, that of the sunset, of the moon, or the lights that can be glimpsed from the Marina di Caronia “. He says he perceived an” unpleasant smell. I went back and forth, but I felt it only there.

I raised the branches and saw that there was part of a body. “Molecular dogs?” It is difficult for them to enter and operate among these dense shrubs. “And again:” I am father and grandfather I understand what the family. For fifteen days I had a Magone, I wanted to go … the night before it was my wife at the end who told me: ‘why don’t you go, you’re good, you know the woods … you can make a contribution …’. And so I went “.
