The disappearance of Francesca Deidda, a 42-year-old woman from San Sperate, Italy, has taken a grim turn.

After weeks of fruitless searches, investigators now believe she was murdered by her husband, Igor Sollai.

Sollai, a 43-year-old truck driver, is currently in custody facing charges of aggravated voluntary homicide and concealment of a corpse.

In a chilling twist, he allegedly used Deidda's phone to respond to messages from friends and family, claiming she needed time away.

A recent breakthrough came when searchers discovered personal items believed to belong to Deidda, including bloodstained clothing.

The case has sparked discussions about digital communication and its impact on personal relationships.
