What was found on Liliana Resinovich's shoes: is there a trace that leads to her husband's activities?

Presence of zirconium on the shoes of Liliana Resinovich. This is what one of the three experts tasked with identifying any traces of DNA or other evidence on the cord found around Liliana's neck and on the one that held the keys together has reported. Il Piccolo writes today in its edition, specifying that zirconium is an abrasive substance used (also) for sharpening metals, such as knives for example, an activity carried out by Sebastiano Visintin, Liliana's husband.

The woman had disappeared on December 14, 2021 and the body was found on January 5, 2022 in the Trieste park of San Giovanni.

The presence of this substance is "worthy of further investigation" the expert, forensic geneticist Paolo Fattorini, would have indicated, and thus the delivery of the expert report has been postponed from the end of March to June 26, as per the extension from the Gip of the Trieste court Flavia Mangiante. This is the second postponement. The pool of experts also includes Chiara Turchi and Eva Sacchi.

Meanwhile, Il Piccolo also reports that an experiment is underway in the United States on four corpses by a team of scientists from Michigan and Colorado to compare over a specific period the transformations that a frozen body undergoes compared to one subjected to environmental conditions similar to those in which Liliana Resinovich's body would have been found in the grove where it was discovered. This is an initiative by Visintin's defense after the two previous expert reports on the corpse established - contradicting each other - the first that death occurred about 48 hours before the discovery and the second that Liliana had died the same morning of her disappearance.
