For three days he remained a “prisoner” in the Turin Park Cemeterythe daughters had lost hope of seeing him return home, but today the carabinieri with the help of the molecular dogs they finally managed to locate him. Riccardo Taccardo, the 84-year-old pensioner who left his accommodation on the morning of June 25th was lying in a meadow, hidden by tall grass and in a state of confusion. The disappearance was reported by the two daughters (one lives with the elderly man) and the broadcast also covered the case “Who has seen?”.
Taccardo had told his daughter that he would go to the ASL on Via Farinelli to undergo a medical examination, but he never showed up for the check-up. After the complaint, the investigators of the Mirafiori company immediately began their search and, thanks to the collaboration of GTT, they were able to reconstruct the route taken by the elderly man after boarding a bus on line 74. Taccardo, instead of heading to the clinic, got off at the stop in front of the cemetery, which was searched by search teams on Thursday, without success.
The daughters confirmed their father’s habit of going to bring a flower to the grave of his wife and parents and at that point the police also checked the images from the video surveillance cameras. Who filmed the pensioner as he crossed the gate on Via Bertani, without ever leaving. This morning the dogs of the canine unit resumed the search, also searching a perimeter road, away from the passageways and finally tracked down the man. Taccardo, who has a heart condition, was very dehydrated and was rushed to the Martini hospital.
