All of Italy hoped for a better end to this story that shook the country earlier this month. The epilogue of the disappearance of Viviana Parisi, 43-year-old DJ, and her son Gioele in northern Sicily, however, was tragic. This Wednesday, eleven days after having found the lifeless body of the forties, the Italian media announced with sadness the discovery of human remains belonging, with “quasi-certainty”, to the little boy of 4 years.
If the shock is deep on the other side of the Alps, investigators are now trying to shed light on these mysterious deaths. It all started on August 3 when Viviana Parisi and Gioele disappeared after she told her husband to go buy shoes in a nearby town. Last seen on the side of the Palermo-Messina motorway, after a minor collision in a tunnel, they gave no sign of life until the discovery of their bodies.
Viviana Parisi’s body lay at the foot of a high-voltage pylon in a nearby forest in a mountainous area, near the town of Caronia. It was not far from there that the human remains were found on Wednesday shortly after noon. Gioele’s was found more than 180 meters from the scene of the car accident and 300 meters from that of his mother.
Investigators now say the corpses were “unrecognizable”. The 40-year-old must have been identified by her wedding ring and the little boy’s body was in a state of advanced decomposition. According to the newspaper La Repubblica, “animals could have cut up” the body of the little boy but also that of his mother. The latter presented with a broken arm and animal bites. Police suspect stray dogs.
But all the avenues are currently being studied. Sexual assault, accident caused … “We will continue to work and we will go to the bottom of this sad story”, explains Angelo Cavallo, prosecutor in charge of the case. Viviana Parisi has reportedly experienced depression due to the negative effects of confinement in Italy.
