A turning point in the disappearance of Mara Favro, the 51-year-old who disappeared in Val di Susa (Turin) on the night between 7 and 8 March. The investigation file, initially opened without any hypothesis of crime, became manslaughter. The woman’s brother, assisted by the lawyer Roberto Saraniti, had sent a complaint to the prosecutor’s office in Turin for murder and concealment of a corpse. Meanwhile, the police are interviewing several people in the woman’s circle, including her neighbors. Two witnesses recalled seeing her for the last time in her home on March 7: the first at 8.30 pm, the second at 9.30 pm.
The employer’s story
This version would coincide with the content of an alleged message that the waitress sent to her employer on the morning of the 8th, in which she said that she would no longer work in the restaurant, a message which however is no longer available. The woman’s cell phone cannot be found and the employer, owner of a pizzeria in Chiomonte, apparently deleted the message. According to the owner of the restaurant, “Mara Favro went away with the pizza chef in his car on the evening between 7 and 8 March, even though he didn’t have a driving licence.” The pizza chef would have left her in front of a pub in Susa. But before three in the morning she Mara would have returned thanks to a lift from a truck driver. Because, according to the owner of the pizzeria, she had “forgotten her house keys and a pack of cigarettes”. And then the woman would have traveled along state road 24. “I couldn’t accompany her, since I can’t go out after midnight,” explained the owner. The man has been on probation for years after a conviction for criminal conspiracy aimed at drug trafficking, enslavement and exploitation of prostitution. The pizza chef, among other things, denies it: «I didn’t accompany anyone. I don’t have a driving licence. She gave me a ride to the Susa road bend, because she had come to work by car. She told me that the car was broken,” she told the investigators.
