Vatican Media/Handout via REUTERSVATICAN CITY, June 25 (Reuters) - Pope Francis on Sunday offered prayers and solidarity to the family of a Vatican schoolgirl who went missing 40 years ago in one of Italy's most enduring mysteries.
The case has drawn renewed worldwide attention following the release of the Netflix series "Vatican Girl" late last year.
Pietro Orlandi was standing with a group of supporters holding up photographs and banners that called for "truth" and "justice".
In April, Pope Francis called the allegations "offensive and unfounded insinuations".
