(the Vatican did not mention the documentary as a reason for re-opening but requests from the family) This film brought the story of Emanuela to light for a broader public audience. Below is the Netflix "Vatican Girl" trailer:

Emanuela Orlandi (born 14 January 1968) was a Vatican teenager who mysteriously disappeared while returning home from a flute lesson in Rome on 22 June 1983.

Her father was a Vatican employee, and there has been great speculation over why she was kidnapped.

An investigation has been opened in the Vatican into the case of Emanuela Orlandi, the teenage daughter of a Vatican employee who vanished in Rome on 22 June 1983.
