A breakthrough in the case of Emanuela Orlandi, the 15-year-old daughter of a Vatican employee who went missing in 1983, may have arrived after the Vatican said human bones were found at a site linked to its embassy to Italy in Rome's Via Po.
The Vatican said it had called in the Italian authorities after the remains were found during renovation work.
Another possibility is that the bones belong to Mirella Gregori, another minor who went missing in Rome in 1983.
Investigators are comparing the cranium and teeth with the DNA of Orlandi and Gregori.
