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

The record lists a tattoo with the letter 'A' on the right forearm. The contemporaneous article on the same discovery, StampaSera of 24 September 1987, instead describes two hearts pierced by an arrow, tattooed on the arm.
The same article estimates the age at between 30 and 35, against the 40 given in the record, and mentions designer trousers and moccasins not noted in the record.
An article from La Provincia Pavese from 2015 on unidentified bodies in the province of Pavia may relate to this case: the page could not be reached and the content remains to be verified.

Ancora un misterioso delitto nell'Oltrepò Pavese

StampaSera, 24 September 1987

L'età apparente indicata dall'articolo (30-35 anni) è inferiore a quella della scheda (40), e il tatuaggio descritto (due cuori trafitti da una freccia sul braccio) è diverso da quello della scheda (una lettera "A" sull'avambraccio destro): può trattarsi di una descrizione imprecisa dello stesso corpo o di un cadavere diverso comparso nello stesso tratto di autostrada nello stesso periodo.
