What happened to Viviana, 43, and her 4-year-old baby boy Gioele? On August 3, Viviana Parisi, 43, and her son Gioele (the equivalent of Joël in French) mysteriously disappeared in Sicily. The mother was found dead on August 8, but her decaying body showed no visible wounds, bullet holes or stab wounds. On August 19, human remains belonging most likely to the little boy were discovered.
The mother’s body lay at the foot of a pylon
An investigation is underway to try to clarify the circumstances of this tragedy. According to information reported by the Italian daily, The print, Viviana and her son are said to have died in two different places. The family lawyers report that among the hypotheses studied, that of the accident. “Maybe the mother had lost Gioele and had climbed the pylon to try to locate him. Then she would have accidentally fallen,” say the family lawyers.
The mother and her son had been seen one last time on the side of the Palermo-Messina motorway (northern Sicily), after a minor collision in a tunnel. Viviana Parisi’s body lay at the foot of a high-voltage pylon in a nearby forest in a mountainous area, near the town of Caronia. It was not far from there that the human remains were found on Wednesday shortly after noon.
A mysterious disappearance
Investigators are now investigating the track that the little boy, left to himself, could have been attacked by animals. The thesis of Gioele’s murder by his mother followed by suicide is also being considered by the police. A track that the family formally refutes.
Viviana and Gioele disappeared after she told her husband to go buy shoes in a nearby town. She was not seen anywhere that morning, but her gray Opel Corsa was pictured on the highway, with the child aboard in her baby seat, apparently alive. Shortly after her accident, the woman stopped her vehicle on the roadside, crossed the guardrail into the bush of Caronia. Two witnesses say they saw her then with her child in their arms.
