A bizarre and tragic incident has unfolded in northern Italy's Aosta Valley, where the blood-drained body of a 22-year-old French woman was discovered in an abandoned church. According to police, the victim had been searching for a haunted house believed to contain ghosts.
Reports suggest that the woman informed her family about her plans before embarking on her journey from a village near Lyon. Investigators speculate that her death may be linked to a TikTok stunt or a ghost-hunting competition on the social media platform.
Witnesses claim to have seen the victim and a male companion, both dressed like vampires, in the vicinity of the church. Descriptions of the woman as "pale" and "emaciated" have raised further questions about the circumstances surrounding her demise.
Medical examiner Roberto Testi revealed that the victim had been stabbed with a camping knife and sustained multiple gunshot wounds. However, police noted that some of the blood had been removed from the crime scene, suggesting a deliberate attempt to conceal evidence.
Authorities are also investigating the presence of a burgundy-colored van near the church, captured on surveillance footage. The discovery of pink marshmallows and groceries purchased from a local store near the victim's body adds another perplexing layer to the case.
As the investigation unfolds, speculation abounds regarding the true nature of the woman's intentions and the events leading up to her tragic death
