L’Aquila, 13 June (LaPresse) – The search continues for Sarah and Alisya, the two sisters aged 12 and 16 who went missing between Saturday and Sunday last week from the care home in Civitella Alfedena, in the L’Aquila region. The deputy public prosecutor at the court in Sulmona (L’Aquila), Stefano Iafolla, who is handling the case, has opened an investigation into the abduction of minors and has ordered the seizure of the two girls’ mobile phones, which they left at the centre, in order to analyse their contents. The most plausible theory is that they fled with the help of an outside person. The care home is situated in an area of the Abruzzo, Latium and Molise National Park that lacks CCTV cameras and alarm systems. According to some reports, it would appear that the road surveillance cameras in the mountain village did not record the girls passing through between Saturday and Sunday. The minors escaped through a broken window, which had no bars. Tracking dogs have also been deployed, but they have not yet managed to identify the route taken by the teenagers to leave the centre. However, the 16-year-old boyfriend of one of the sisters reportedly did not provide any useful information to the investigators who questioned him. The runaway incident took place a few days after the final divorce ruling for their parents, which lifted the suspension of the father’s parental authority—a decision the girls are said to have opposed, refusing to move house. The sisters had been under the care of social services for three years and had been living in the care home since 2024.
