That night, she’d last been seen about a half mile from home at the gym where she practiced rhythmic gymnastics. After three months of extensive searches and heavy press coverage, Gambirasio’s body was found in a nearby field. Investigators found unknown DNA on her remains, leading them to undertake the country’s largest DNA sweep. Eventually, their efforts led them to a construction worker and father of three named Massimo Bossetti. Not only did prosecutors find their main suspect in Bossetti, but also unearthed family secrets about him that would call into question details about the investigation run by lead prosecutor Letizia Ruggeri.
