Four traces on the black bags match contact with a black work glove found near the body, according to a dactyloscopic analysis ordered by the Trieste GIP. The report rates the match as moderate support.
The male DNA on the jeans and one black bag is attributed by police scientists to an operator who handled the items on 28 July 2023, which Il Fatto Quotidiano suggests may be contamination.
A male profile on the key cord and a hair called Ancona 1 on the T-shirt remain unidentified, and neither matches the husband, who is under investigation for murder.
The judge will examine the results of the super forensic report at a hearing on 30 October, after Visintin was summoned to the prosecutor's office on 2 October and chose not to answer.
Four traces on the black bags that wrapped the body of the 63-year-old woman match contact with a black work glove found near the body, according to a dactyloscopic analysis commissioned by the Trieste investigating judge (GIP). The woman was reported missing from home on 14 December 2021 and found dead on 5 January 2022 in the wooded area of the former psychiatric hospital in Trieste. The left glove had been found a few metres from the body and had already been examined in earlier analyses. The report describes only slight morphological and dimensional matches, which it rates as moderate support for the hypothesis that the traces came from that glove.
Nicodemo Gentile, the lawyer for her brother Sergio Resinovich, says the findings confirm a murder and that those responsible must be named. He spoke to Adnkronos and said:
“That it was a murder is now an overwhelming piece of evidence, like Mont Blanc.”
A male DNA profile found on the jeans and on one black bag, labelled ignoto X by Il Fatto Quotidiano, has been traced by police scientists to an operator who handled the items during checks on 28 July 2023. Il Fatto Quotidiano and La vita in diretta describe that person as an operator who may have moved the body after it was found. Il Piccolo identifies him as a technician who analysed the evidence in 2023. Il Fatto Quotidiano says this would point to possible contamination linked to work on the body or the items, rather than to a trace of someone involved in the death.
Two other unidentified male profiles remain unexplained. One was found on the cord that tied the keys in her handbag, and it cannot be identified by comparison with the husband or other men close to her. The other is a hair on her T-shirt, called Ancona 1, whose origin is also unknown. Fanpage reports that the two profiles do not match each other.
Sebastiano Visintin, her husband, is registered as a suspect for murder. According to Fanpage's reading of the report, none of the traces can be attributed to him or to third parties close to the woman. Il Fatto Quotidiano reports that experts did find direct contact between his jacket and items belonging to his wife, without giving further detail. On 2 October he was summoned to the prosecutor's office to be questioned. With his lawyers present, he chose not to answer.
A hearing on 30 October will examine the results of the so-called super forensic report, which was ordered by GIP Flavia Mangiante. The unidentified DNA on the jeans had been the element most discussed in that report, because it had fuelled the idea that a third person was involved. Its new attribution to an operator shifts attention to the profiles that remain unidentified. Gentile, who is pressing for a named suspect, has framed the demand for accountability in direct terms:
“The truth can no longer wait.”
The judge will decide how the findings are treated once the results are presented on 30 October.
