The little Kata has been missing since June 10 and since then no trace of her has been found. But recently a photo has emerged, possibly taken in Spain, which rekindles the hopes of the family of the little Peruvian girl kidnapped from the ex Hotel Astor in Florence: in the image, delivered to the carabinieri of the Tuscan capital, a little girl with pigtails sitting on a bus looking out of the window can be seen.
Kata, the mother of the missing child stabbed a girl in a disco: reported for aggravated injuries
Kata, the photo from Spain rekindles hopes
"The eyes and nose seem like hers, but there was a reflection of the glass and you can't see the mouth and chin well. So I couldn't assure 100% that it was her", said Katherine Alavrez Vasquez, Kata's mother to "La Nazione" who published today the news of the report. In recent days she was called to the Borgo Ognissanti barracks to see that photo, on which the investigators are making checks. The woman was shown the shot and an enlargement of the face of the girl portrayed. The quality is not excellent: the little girl framed has her hair collected in two side pigtails - a detail that aroused the interest of the person who took the photo, obviously aware of Kata's searches - a red jacket and seems to have a backpack with her. No comment on the source of the carabinieri and the location where the photo was taken, so as not to prejudice the ongoing investigations. However, from some details caught by the mother, it could be an image from a Spanish city.
The investigations
Mom Katherine, "La Nazione" reports, was not able to understand if the little girl who seems to be her daughter was alone or in the company of adults. Dozens of photos have arrived at the investigators. Few, however, have been considered interesting. That of this January is a faint glimmer of light in the darkness of over seven months of investigations. The investigative tracks have followed each other, alternated, intertwined, overlapped. Nothing has been left unexplored, but between omertà and unverifiable hypotheses, it is difficult to say if there is a trace that the carabinieri, coordinated by the Florentine Prosecutor's Office, are favoring.
Chief prosecutor Filippo Spiezia confirmed that there are activities in connection with abroad, but it is still being investigated how the girl was taken out of the occupied building, where Peruvian clans were clashing for control of the rooms. Investigations aimed at "acquiring probative elements on the alleged perpetrators of the crime and reconstructing the context in which the kidnapping of Mia Kataleya took place, including any underlying criminal dynamics", Spiezia declared.
