Bones found near Genoa: they are the remains of a missing elderly man, the analyses of the Parma RIS are decisive

They belong to Giovanni Trucco, an elderly man who disappeared in 2007, the bones found by a passerby two years ago in Genoa Casella near the course of the Scrivia stream. The Ris of Parma gave a name to the jaw with a dental prosthesis found on August 29, 2022 thanks to DNA comparison.
Trucco was 85 years old at the time of his disappearance and lived in Montoggio (Genoa). On the morning of November 9, 2007, he had gone out in his car and had not returned home. The car was found that same evening 4 km away at the small train station of Busalletta (Genoa).

A few months after the discovery of the jaw, the investigation of which had been delegated to the local police of Casella led by Federica De Lorenzi, the correspondents of the program “Chi l’ha visto” had found other bone remains. The Genoa Public Prosecutor’s Office had opened a file for incitement to suicide and sent all the findings to the RIS.

The new investigations had renewed hopes for several families of people who disappeared without a trace. In addition to the relatives of Trucco, there were those of Riccardo Lorenzelli, 93, who disappeared from San Fruttuoso in 2008. And above all the daughters of Maria Imparato, who disappeared from Casella on February 14, 1995. Sabrina and Daniela Roccu, even after the discovery of the male DNA from the jaw, had renewed the request to the prosecutors to continue the investigation into a disappearance that still remains unanswered today.
