Case 47

Yara Gambirasio

The Italian town of Brembate di Sopra is home to a quiet, close-knit community, and like the other local youths, 13-year-old Yara Gambirasio felt safe navigating the streets alone. On November 26 2010, Yara left the town’s sports centre and didn’t hesitate to walk the 700-metre journey home by herself. However, when she failed to arrive, it turned out the streets of Brembate di Sopra weren’t as safe as everyone thought. 

Three months later, Yara’s body was found in a nearby town. Using DNA evidence, the investigation to find her killer took detectives in a strange and unexpected direction.
