Meanwhile, Alessandra got her driver’s license a few months before her death and sometimes took out loans Taxi From his uncle to drive it.
Reconstruction
Investigators They reconstructed the last day of the girl’s life. Worked at headquarters from 2 pm to 9 pm. After her shift, she decides to borrow a taxi from her uncle, hoping to catch some customers. First, he trained with soldiers from the railway station to the army base. At 23.08 he conducted a lesson with the students. At 11:18 p.m. she stopped at a taxi rank, where she spoke to two friends, and they drove away shortly after. At 11.25pm, Alessandra resets the taximeter and sets the outbound fare. It means someone broke in and asked for a ride out of town.
Witnesses reported seeing a white taxi close behind Siena. They testified that there were two people in the back seat. Moments later, they see the vehicle again outside the bar. The driver seems to be lost and looking for a way. Moments later, another witness saw a man get out of a white taxi and sit in the front seat. Another man watches as a taxi turns into a field near a landfill.
An autopsy revealed that the girl had been strangled to death. There was no evidence of rape and the wallet was missing from the car.

Meanwhile, Italian investigators Three years Earlier, they decided to go back to both the cases, concluding that the culprit in both cases could be the same person.
