For over 1,500 years, the Vatican has kept the world out and its secrets in.

It's a place shrouded in mystery, operating in obscurity under the supreme dominion of His

holiness, the Pope. Using both its religious and political power, the Vatican has long been

able to bury its proverbial skeletons deep, deep away from the prionized of the public and out

of foreign authorities' reach. And for the

past 40-plus years, it sure seems like the Vatican has been trying desperately to keep one of their

secrets from rising to the surface, the secret of Imanuela Orlando. On June 22nd, 1983, 15-year-old

Immanuel Orlando disappeared after attending a music lesson in Rome.

Back then, hundreds of teens were going missing all across Italy,

most of whom were runaways trying to escape their parents.

But Emmanuel was different.

She wasn't just any Italian teenager.

She was a Vatican girl.

Because her father was a special employee of the Holy Seas,

Immanuel and her family actually lived inside the Vatican. It is extremely rare for a layperson

to be a Vatican citizen, even more rare for a Vatican citizen to go missing. So when

Emmanuela disappeared, it got a lot of people's attention. And then when Pope John Paul

II made a statement suggesting, to some at least, that he seemed to know what had happened to her, her story got the world's attention.

Today, we're investigating the disappearance of a Manuela-Orlandi.

Our search for the truth will bring us all over the place.
