The Murky Past of Salvatore Vinci

Magistrate Rotella re-examined Barbarina's death and found himself leaning towards a different version of events. Rotella read in the case files that the propane tank Barbarina supposedly used to kill herself had been empty earlier that night. The tank in question couldn't be refilled, only replaced. There was also the matter of all the bruises and scratches on Barbarina's face and neck. It seems that in 1961, the police ignored or overlooked these marks, even though they indicated that Barbarina may have been suffocated to death.
