Articles and sources

  • Suicidio su Capo Berta L'uomo non era solo?

    La Stampa, 30 September 2001

    In this article too, the apparent age remains about 50 and the height 1.60 m, against the 60 years and 152 cm in the record.

    La Stampa, 23 September 2001

    The article estimates an age of around 50 years and a height of 1.60 m, against the 60 years and 152 cm in the record; the magistrate had ordered the release of a photograph of the face to assist identification, but the page consulted gives only the text of the scanned page, not the image.

  • Senza nome uomo suicida a Capo Berta

    La Stampa, 18 September 2001

    Here too the apparent age given is about 50, against the 60 in the record.

  • Rinvenuto cadavere a Capo Berta: forse e' suicidio

    La Stampa, 15 September 2001

    The article estimates the man's age at around 50 years, against the 60 given in the record; otherwise the place and circumstances of death match.
