Missing sisters in Abruzzo found in Formia: they are fine

Two young girls, aged 12 and 16, who had gone missing from their foster home in Civitella Alfedena, province of Aquila, two weeks earlier, were found at their maternal aunt's house in Formia. The discovery was made by Carabinieri from the Operational Unit of L'Aquila, the Special Operations Group ROS, and military personnel from the provincial command of Latina, coordinated by Chief Prosecutor Luciano D'Angelo of the Sulmona Court. The girls are reported to be in good health but are described as tired and not happy with the media attention they have received. Investigations are ongoing to determine any potential criminal responsibility. A press conference is scheduled for tomorrow at the Sulmona courthouse to provide more details about their recovery. According to an eyewitness interviewed by ANSA, the girls were hiding or staying with an elderly person in a complex of social housing in the Rio Fresco area. The area has been cordoned off, and residents have been kept out. Around thirty Carabinieri, both in plain clothes and uniform, along with special forces, are present. The girls are being moved to a protected location.
