Cyanide in Rome: The Unsolved Murder of a Social Worker

from Casefile Confidential - Real Crime Podcast · host Tony Sale

The unsolved murder of Francesca Moretti, a young woman living in Rome who died from cyanide poisoning in 2000. It details the initial chaotic moments leading to her hospitalization, where doctors eventually suspected cyanide after her rapid deterioration. The investigation was hampered by a poorly preserved crime scene and initially considered suicide due to a lack of clear evidence. As the case progressed, police explored potential motives including Francesca's extramarital affair with a married Romani man... One of the most disturbing cases in Italian criminal history.--------------------------------------------------------------Casefile Confidential. Dont' forget to like and subscribe to our podcast.
