When Francesca Deidda disappeared without a trace in Sardinia two months ago, the 42-year-old wrote to family and colleagues: “It’s a bad time, I’m away for a while.” She was voluntarily taking a break: Her husband is suspected of murdering Francesca and then sending messages from her mobile phone. Investigators believe he even resigned via email.
The Italian woman has been missing since May, but the carabinieri did not receive a formal missing person report until late June. However, it was not her husband, Igor Sollai, who reported Francesca missing, but rather her brother and a colleague.
Suspect tried to cover up death with messages
And there may be a reason for that: the prosecutor suspects that the truck driver murdered his wife and then organized a voluntary funeral. He allegedly used Francesca’s mobile phone to write on behalf of her family and friends, so that they would think she was still alive.

What was striking in any case was the fact that the disappeared only sent text messages and never wanted to talk to her loved ones on the phone. Particularly brazen: he also wrote in an email to Francesca’s employer that she wanted to resign. “We did not expect this, she was happy with her job, she had never spoken about wanting to leave,” explained her colleagues, who had become suspicious after this news.
Police speak of “serious indications of guilt”
Investigators do not believe the woman left voluntarily and then took her own life. “The investigation has led to serious indications of guilt towards the man, even though the victim’s body has not yet been found,” the carabinieri said. Investigators added that they had found evidence “resulting from the analysis of computer traces left by the suspect.” Among other things, they were investigating where the man had been after Francesca disappeared.
The 43-year-old was arrested and their shared home and car were seized. But there has still been no sign of the 42-year-old’s body. Police are now planning a large-scale search of the San Sperate area to find her remains.
