“The Shocking Details of Lawyer Elodia Ghinescu’s Disappearance and the SMS that Led to her Husband’s Conviction”

14 years have passed since lawyer Elodia Ghinescu disappeared without a trace. During all this time, many details from the investigation have been made public, but only now has an extremely important detail come to light.

The case of the disappearance of the lawyer Elodia Ghinescu was intensely debated in the public space. 14 years after his disappearance, new details emerged from the investigation, which influenced the judges’ decision. The lawyer allegedly wrote a message to her husband on the day of her disappearance, at 2:30 p.m. The last telephone conversation between the two spouses was also made public.

It was learned about the last message that Elodia would have sent to her husband, Cristian Cioacă. It would have been written on the very day of the lawyer’s disappearance, around 2:30 p.m. The content of this message conveyed one last thought and left Ciocă speechless. Even the investigators were shaken by the words that the lawyer wrote. This SMS was instrumental in the ex-policeman’s conviction, but its contents have not been made public.

In addition to the message sent by the lawyer to her husband, the last phone conversation between the two was also revealed. According to sources, the two spouses talked about divorce, a topic that could suggest possible reasons for Elodia Ghinescu’s disappearance.

On the day of her disappearance, the lawyer made several calls to Romania and Sweden. She was called from Sweden, and later she called Cristian Cioacă, but he did not answer. Later, Elodia received a call from a SPP colleague with Cioacă, Daniel Zabara.

Cristian Cioacă remains in prison. The application for parole was denied

Elodia Ghinescu’s body was never found. However, Cristian Cioacă was convicted of murdering his wife. The lawyer’s case was highly publicized, and the revealed details of the investigation bring it back to public attention.

The case of Elodia’s disappearance remains a mystery, and Cristian Cioacă has been behind bars since 2014, when he was sentenced to 15 years and 8 months in prison. He had originally received a 22-year prison sentence. He submitted a request for parole at the beginning of this year, rejected by the Pitesti Court as unfounded. The ex-policeman is eligible to apply for parole again in May.

“Rejects the request for conditional release made by the convicted petitioner, currently detained at the Mioveni Penitentiary, as unfounded. Maintain the deadline established by the Commission for conditional release within the Mioveni Penitentiary, after the expiration of which the proposal or request for conditional release can be renewed, namely 10.05.2023. With the right to appeal within 3 days from the communication of the copy of the minutes”, the judges determined.

The lawyer disappeared on the night of August 29 to 30, 2007. According to the investigators, against the background of pre-existing conflictual relationships related to an imminent divorce generated by the alleged extramarital affairs of the spouses, while they were in the matrimonial bedroom, the discussions degenerated, a context in which police officer Cristian Cioacă inflicted multiple blows on his wife, Elodia Ghinescu, resulting in her death.

In the file, the investigators specified that that night, the couple’s minor child was in the apartment where the crime was allegedly committed.

“In the following days, the defendant carried out a series of activities designed to ensure the avoidance of criminal liability. Thus, in a first phase, he collected in polyethylene bags all objects visible or potentially bearing traces of blood, produced during the aggression or when overtaking or transporting the body in order to hide it, and threw them into a ravine located 4.6 km from Poiana Braşov in the direction of Râşnov, where they were found on 8.10.2007.

Since the washing operations of the traces of blood on the surface of the common wall between the master bedroom and the related bathroom were not satisfactory (from the perspective of the on-site investigation that would take place in the next period in the apartment), the defendant covered the areas with the highest concentration of blood traces with an additional layer of glue and one of washable paint. At the same time, he installed a new shower curtain in the bathroom belonging to the bedroom”, said the prosecutors.

The prosecutor’s office also claims that, after September 2, 2007, Cristian Cioacă carried out an “extensive operation to manipulate the people in his entourage and that of his wife, presenting to everyone he came in contact with the evidence found on that date by a witness on the computer to the Cioacă-Ghinescu family, regarding the victim’s extramarital relationship and the vacation he spent together with another person in Dubai”.

This “operation” was aimed at ensuring a current of opinion unfavorable to the victim, which would have justified the hypothesis of a voluntary departure from home and diverting attention from the essential aspect, namely the version of her murder by her husband. Cristian Cioacă officially announced the disappearance of his wife on September 5, 2007, according to romaniatv.net.
