Prosecutor Silvia Della Monica reveals how she challenged the "Monster of Florence" killer

lanazione.it (Italian)

The former prosecutor who investigated the "Monster of Florence" believes the killer contacted her because she challenged him. She received a letter with victim's skin after a staged announcement. The prosecutor, Silvia Della Monica, revealed she falsely announced a victim had spoken before dying. This tactic aimed to provoke a reaction, and the killer reportedly called a hospital to inquire about the condition of a suspect. Della Monica left the investigation in 1983 due to frustration over the lack of the murder weapon and the continuation of killings, which she felt were either aiding suspects or taunting investigators.
