Italy has been following the police research for ten days and is focusing on one question: where has little Gioele gone? The country has been living since the beginning of August to the rhythm of a mysterious news item, the disappearance in Sicily of a four-year-old child and his mother, who was finally found dead last weekend.
Viviana Parisi, 43-year-old DJ, and her son Gioele disappeared on the morning of August 3, according to the Italian press, which chronicles the case almost every day. They were seen one last time on the side of the Palermo-Messina motorway (northern Sicily), after a minor collision in a tunnel.

Viviana was found dead on August 8 in a nearby forest, near the town of Caronia. His body lay at the foot of a high voltage pylon but, to this day, no trace of the child, still missing. "All the hypotheses are open, from the accident to the extreme gesture," said prosecutor Angelo Cavallo, in charge of the investigation, while searches to find the toddler continue in the region.

According to the doctor who autopsied the body, Viviana "probably died where her body was found". The corpse did not show any visible wounds, bullet marks or stab wounds. It was not clear from her state of decomposition whether she had been strangled.
