Notes on this record

What emerges when the official register data are compared with the press sources collected below.

  • The press of the time reports that an initial hypothesis about the body's identity was ruled out by a dental examination, in an article of 10 November 1999.
  • An article by La Stampa of 10 November 1999 links the case to a second skeleton found in March 1999 in the Dora between Vische and Strambino, attributed by relatives to a missing woman: these are two separate discoveries, not to be confused.

Articles and sources

  • Due morti in cerca di un'identita'

    La Stampa, 10 November 1999

    The article links the case to a second skeleton, found in March 1999 in the Dora between Vische and Strambino and traced to a different person: these are two distinct discoveries and should not be confused.

  • Nella diga il cadavere di un uomo

    La Stampa, 10 August 1999

    The article reports the initial suspicion that this was a retiree from Hone, in Valle d'Aosta, who went missing on 11 May; a later article of 10 November reports that the dental examination ruled out this hypothesis.
