New revelations on Mattino Cinque on the Garlasco crime: a footprint compatible with Stasi’s shoes and doubts about the DNA of the hair
The Garlasco case continues to simmer. The latest sensational indiscretion comes from Morning Five and it concerns one alleged shoe print never actually analyzed in the villa in via Pascoli. It would be a trace «inverted V» which, according to what emerged in the broadcast, would be compatible with the sole of the Lacoste shoes delivered by Alberto Stasi the day after the murder of Chiara Poggi.
Until today, only bloody “dot” footprints had been officially detected at the crime scene, attributed to the murderer. The existence of a second footprint attributable to Stasi would change the picture: it would mean that Alberto could have actually walked in the house only after the crime, as he has always said.
Because Stasi would have told the truth
«Alberto says he entered the house and saw the body. After that he handed over those shoes. That really looks like the imprint of Stasi’s shoe and this would mean that Alberto told the truth”, the presenter stated live Federica Panicucci.
To strengthen the hypothesis, thelawyer Antonio De Rensis, Stasi’s defenderrecalling how at least 24 people including investigators and rescuers walked at the crime scene. An enormous number, which makes the contamination of traces and the loss of decisive evidence plausible.
Furthermore, the RIS had also established that Stasi’s shoes were “apparently devoid of traces of biological interest”: no blood either with the combur test or with luminol.
The issue of blood on shoes
Luminol, however, is not a blood-specific test and can react with many substances. Furthermore, Stasi delivered the shoes 24 hours after the inspection: in the meantime he had walked on the asphalt, in the wet garden and on other surfaces. Any blood trampled on was already partly dried and therefore easily detachable from the sole.
Even the shoes of the carabinieri who intervened tested negative: a detail that significantly reduces the evidential weight of those findings. It is clear that the absence of blood traces in this case is neither evidence for nor against Stasi: the traces of blood (if present) would have easily been lost in any case due to the movements made in the following hours. However, the detail demonstrates that Alberto’s story was truthfulno small thing.
The hair in Chiara’s hand
Adding further fuel to the fire was also the geneticist Matteo Fabbri. The hair found in Chiara Poggi’s hand, he explained, cannot be attributed with certainty to the victim: mitochondrial DNA only identifies the maternal line, not a specific person. However, if those finds were still preserved, they could become crucial evidence.
