Speaker 1 (00:00):
A friend from Parma called her and he found her
somewhat tense. She didn't want to talk. She seemed uncomfortable,
but he thought maybe she was just tired. And around
five thirty in the afternoon, a student of hers called,
apparently for a consultation. He spoke with her. Everything was calm, normal,
(00:20):
without issues. But what he didn't know is that he
would be the last person to hear her voice, because
after that silence fell. At seven fifty five in the evening,
a friend called her and Francesca no longer answered. This
friend called several times at eight o five or a
quarter past or at eight in the evening. Francesca had
(00:42):
an appointment and she never showed up. With this, the
police had an approximate time of death. According to the
forensic expert, the woman died between five thirty and eleven,
but with these calls the timeline could be narrowed down
from five thirty to eight. The investigators had to move forward.
There had to be something more at the scene, something
(01:03):
to indicate an exact time, something more concrete. And then
they remembered the watch she had on her wrist, which
had stopped. Specifically, it stopped at five twelve in the
afternoon on June fourteenth, and it was confirmed that that
particular model had a maximum charge of thirty five hours,
so they took it wound back the hands thirty five hours,
(01:25):
which resulted in six twelve in the afternoon on June twelfth.
The key then was in that time because Francesca at
that time wound the watch at least according to the police,
what was she doing Then she met someone, someone came
to see her. The key was in that moment, in
that hour, and the story that follows will leave you speechless.
(01:47):
Francesca Kalinobi had a diary that could be considered a
work of art in itself, with sketches, drawings, and in
it she talked about everything, her work, pieces, contacts, and
also emotions, especially about one of her students, Francesco Chancellor,
twenty four years old. Francesco was, according to her, a
promising artist. He was a painter from Pascara, and in
(02:11):
her diary she wrote about him as her male self.
She felt great passion for him, an uncontrollable love, but
she also talked about something complicated, that their love was toxic.
He was cold, distant and was also addicted to drugs.
She wrote that they both used, but he overdid it.
He was a great artist with a bright future, a
(02:33):
great talent, but this problem dragged him down a dark
path and the fights between them were constant. Knowing this,
the police went to look for Francesco, discovering that at
that moment he wasn't in Bologna, but rather in Paiscara
with his parents. He arrived in Pascara the night of
the crime, and interestingly, he immediately admitted that he had
been with her, that they were together that afternoon, and
(02:56):
that he left her at seven thirty and went to
the station. His story was the following. He goes to
Francesca's house, they are together, they have a good time,
They use drugs, and at six thirty or six forty five,
Francesco calls a friend from this woman's house and asks
him to please get him more drugs to bring them
in an hour. He continues with Francesca. Time passes and
(03:19):
at seven thirty he leaves through the door. He meets
this friend at the station and there he gets the drugs,
talks with him and boards a train. But what happens.
He was the last person to see this woman alive
and the watch had stopped at six twelve, the time
when the two were together. The forensic team said she
died between five thirty and eleven, but by seven fifty
(03:42):
five she wasn't answering the phone, so the time of
death narrows between five thirty and eight hours during which
Francesco was supposedly with her. There was no physical evidence
against him, but still on June twenty first of that
same year, he was arrested and formally charged arched with
the murder of Francesca Kalinobi. The trial began on January third,
(04:05):
nineteen eighty five, and I must tell you it was
incredibly high profile, and the reason was threefold. First, the
evidence against him was circumstantial. Second, Francesca was incredibly well known.
And third, this man appeared very cold. He seemed calm, cold, distant,
as if it had nothing to do with him. The
(04:27):
prosecution argued everything I've told you, that the times didn't match,
that he was the last person to see her alive,
that maybe the relationship was toxic, and that by seven
thirty she was probably already dead. Moreover, she had an
appointment at eight, so maybe Francesco got jealous, maybe he
got aggressive, or violent due to the drugs. Maybe they argued,
(04:50):
fought said something, or maybe he snapped for no reason,
but either way, for the prosecution, he was guilty and
had to pay. Nevertheless, the defense had strong arguments. There
was no physical evidence proving Francesco killed her. For one,
that watch couldn't be used as evidence, the charging time
(05:12):
meant nothing, and the chain of custody had been broken.
The police arrived at the scene, found everything, took the body,
and a few hours later the watch was given to
the family, but afterward it was reclaimed and investigated that
watch could have been tampered with, so the evidence was invalid.
On the other hand, the exact time of death couldn't
(05:34):
be known, the forensic changed it several times, and the
body's decomposition made it all difficult. Francesca could have died
after he left. Third, handwriting tests were done on a
note found in the bathroom, and the handwriting didn't match
either Francesca or Francesco. It wasn't either of theirs. It
(05:55):
was later discovered that the note was written days earlier
by a friend of hers, whumberto postal as a joke.
He had gone to her house one day they were
joking around, and in a careless moment he wrote that
he wasn't at the crime scene, had an alibi. He
wrote it just for fun. The fourth strong point was
Francesco Chancellor's own body. At seven thirty. He left through
(06:19):
the door and arrived at the station without blood stains,
and he had no injuries. We're talking about a brutal attack,
of extreme violence, of great rage. The knife had to slip,
it would slip from the handle, he'd get cut. There
was a struggle, a fight, chaos, but his body had
no wounds, not on the hands, face or neck. The
(06:43):
friend he met saw him completely clean and his behavior
was normal. The trial ended in an acquittal, and the
court room was left in shock, shocked and divided. On
one side were those who supported the decision and believed
Chancellor was innocent, but on the other side were those
convened since he was guilty. In fact, that group was
(07:03):
the majority. No one could believe it, and in the
end there was an appeal. The trial was held the
following year, specifically on December third, nineteen eighty six, and
once again was based on circumstantial evidence. There was no confession,
no witness. Did they want to convict Francesco no matter
what to close the case quickly. On the day the
(07:25):
final verdict was to be announced, this man didn't show
up anywhere and therefore couldn't hear the sentence, and this
time he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. The
sentence was confirmed in nineteen eighty eight, although reduced to
ten years, but Francesco had disappeared. What really happened is
that he fled to Brazil. He knew this would happen,
(07:48):
that he would go to jail, and in Brazil he
wanted to start over first as an artist, as a painter,
as a photographer. But in Sou Paulo he held an
exhibition and a group of a Tallians immediately recognized his work.
They set it out loud in front of him. They
said that work looked like Chancellor's, and nervous, he fled
(08:09):
the scene. He left the exhibition, went into hiding, and
from Brazil he traveled to Spain, where he got a
fake passport under the name Jean Pietro Contentini. In Spain,
specifically in Madrid, he became an Italian teacher, but in
nineteen ninety seven his life ended because the police finally
found him, They arrested him, sent him back to Italy,
(08:31):
and there he was sentenced to ten years in prison.
He was released in two thousand and six and has
since always claimed that he is innocent, that he never
killed Francesca, never harmed her, and that the real killer
still walks free. Many people today believe he is indeed innocent,
that he did nothing, and that there are two hypotheses
the police never considered. The first is found in Francesca
(08:54):
Lenobi's own diary. She didn't only write about Francesco, but
also about many people. She talked about artists, critics, acquaintances, friends,
She wrote about her experiences, people she met, and she
also mentioned an alleged drug lord she met on a
trip abroad. This woman wrote passionately, poetically, artistically. Many times,
(09:18):
according to some, she exaggerated in her writing. She created
true works of art. So perhaps the drug lord wasn't
really one, but to her there was something about him
that gave her that impression. People point to this detail
and also to the circles she moved in artistic, rebellious
circles with all kinds of ideas, opposite ideas, circles where
(09:40):
people used drugs, and maybe there, Francesca saw something she
shouldn't have. Maybe she upset someone powerful and that person
ended her life. And the second hypothesis is that of
the so called Dam's monster. At that time, many more
people died. In the Dam's context, we have Angelo Fabri
(10:00):
who died before her, and after her, two more girls died.
The deaths of the girls had nothing to do with
Angelo and Francesca. One girl was strangled, the other shot.
One of these cases was solved, the other remains unsolved. However,
the modus operandi the case of Angelo and Francesca could
(10:21):
be nearly identical. Angelo was stabbed twelve times, Francesca forty seven,
and both cases may be unsolved. Angelo's case remains unsolved
and Francesca's, according to many, was closed improperly. So maybe
both crimes were the work of the same person. What
do you think of this case? Do you think Chancellor
(10:43):
was really guilty? The end
