Well here is some more mystery to throw into the questionable proverbial pot

Italy to crack open mobster’s tomb in bowels of Rome church as part of search for missing girl

.

In 2005, the case was reopened when an anonymous caller rang a missing person television programme and said investigators should search De Pedis’ tomb in the Sant’Apollinare basilica for clues to the teenager’s fate.

Then in 2008, his former girlfriend Sabrina Minardi also said De Pedis was involved in Orlandi’s disappearance, and that she’d been murdered on the orders of Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, then president of the Vatican Bank.

Vatican tomb of mafia don to be reopened over teen murder mystery

Investigators have said in the past that there were murky financial transactions between the Holy See and the gang and that the schoolgirl was kidnapped by De Pedis in an attempt to recover money that he was owed.

Another theory is that she was abducted to be used as a bargaining chip for the release from prison of Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish gunman who tried to kill John Paul II in St Peter’s Square in 1981, reportedly on the orders of the KGB.

It sounds impressive, but that's about $47 in American money.

If you want to find a crook at the Vatican just look for guys wearing robes.

Some more info related to the case.

Sabrina Minardi, a recovering drug addict, alleged in a statement to Italian police that De Pedis had kidnapped Miss Orlandi, put her in a sack and threw her into a cement mixer in Torvaianica, an area of sand dunes on the coast near Rome. Ms Minardi also alleged that Miss Orlandi had been seized and killed on the orders of Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, the then head of the Vatican bank. Monsignor Marcinkus died in 2006 in Sun City, Arizona, after being disgraced during his spell in Rome. The archbishop was investigated by the Organised Crime office of the US Justice Department after they found a request for $950 million of counterfeit bonds made on Vatican notepaper. In 1982, Mgr Marcinkus was implicated in the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano and the murder of Roberto Calvi, the head of the bank whose body was found swinging from Blackfriars Bridge in London.

Interesting to note that the Masonic lodge P2 (Propaganda Due), who were also involved in the Vatican bank scandal, referred to themselves as Black Friars.
Apparently Markincus met on numerous times dressed as a civilian, to meet other girls, according to Enrico De Pedis former girlfriend.
Those statements have not been confirmed as truth though.

And the plot thickens.

ETA: This is an interesting comment from Orlandis brother;

"Personally, I also doubt that the Magliana gang had anything to do with my sister's disappearance. The people who authorised her kidnapping were others, how else do you explain a 29-year silence from the institutions?

Her brother doesn't think the mob was involved or ordered the kidnapping, opening the door to other possibilities.

I'm not surprised the thread's been dead and buried (no pun intended).
It's a pandora's box indeed, which requires a lot of energy and resources to get to the bottom of something like this.
Shame though as this is a very real conspiracy.
Maybe some time in the future, some one will see this thread and add their research.
If there's any.

Take care.

Ow wow...the great whore of babylon selling out, while in other news, a scientific discovery proves humans breathe oxygen, gravity works downwards, and the Earth, contrary to popular belief, is not flat.

Less than two weeks ago I was asking about this to a Catholic on this board(I think it was flyersfan) and now it becomes "big" news why?

More information comes to light.

"This was a crime with a sexual motive. Parties were organised, with a Vatican gendarme acting as the 'recruiter' of the girls.
"The network involved diplomatic personnel from a foreign embassy to the Holy See. I believe Emanuela ended up a victim of this circle," Father Amorth, the honorary president of the International Association of Exorcists, told La Stampa newspaper.

Love of money is the root of all evil. You will find that those religions of which you believed to be the root of evil, have love for money as their root.

Missing girl 'buried in murdered mobster's tomb was kidnapped for Vatican sex parties', claims Catholic Church's leading exorcist priest
22 May 2012

The Catholic Church's leading exorcist priest [Father Gabriel Amorth] has sensationally claimed a missing schoolgirl thought to be buried in a murdered gangster's tomb was kidnapped for Vatican sex parties...

'It has already previously been stated by (deceased) monsignor Simeone Duca, an archivist at the Vatican, who was asked to recruit girls for parties with the help of the Vatican gendarmes.
'I believe Emanuela ended up in this circle. I have never believed in the international theory (overseas kidnappers). I have motives to believe that this was just a case of sexual exploitation.
'It led to the murder and then the hiding of her body. Also involved are diplomatic staff from a foreign embassy to the Holy See.'

Help me quick.

I just posted this in another thread pertaining to the same thread subject.

I found this at the site listed below, but many other sites make the same statement.
I can not find an original source for this particular accusation yet.

From the April 2009 Idaho Observer:

Revelation and the Rothschild connection

In 1821 Kalmann (Carl) Mayer Rothschild went to Naples, Italy, to set up business with the Vatican and Pope Gregory XVI. By 1823, the Rothschilds had taken over the financial operations of the Catholic Church worldwide.

The most warped part of all of these "issues" coming out of the catholic church is how hard the clergy must laugh at their worshippers. Heck, in their shoes, I'd be giggling myself if I didn't have the decency to extinguish my own life first.
