Joe Bevilacqua’s DNA profile sent to the US authorities

In November 2023, I transmitted Bevilacqua’s genetic profile to the US law enforcement agencies in charge of the Zodiac Killer case, as well as other potential Zodiac’s crimes, and the Department of Justice.

Here the post on Reddit if you want to add a comment.

I was able to do so with the authorization of the Siena deputy DA Nicola Marini. With the help of senese judicial police officers, prosecutor Marini acquired Bevilacqua’s DNA in 2020 as part of the investigation into the cold case of Alessendra Vanni

Bevilacqua’s DNA has never been compared before with samples from the Zodiac case, although US authorities investigating the Californian serial killer had been informed of the availability of the Italian American’s genetic profile since 2020.

In 2018, after my complaint about an admission by Bevilacqua relating to the Monster of Florence and Zodiac crimes, the local Carabinieri ROS investigative team was unable to acquire a sample of his DNA. The reason was the decision of the investigators to interview the American witness in the Pacciani case at his home in the presence of some relatives.

Before my indictment for the alleged defamation of Bevilacqua, in 2022, the Florence assistant DA Luca Turco opposed my attorneys’ request to contact the US Department of Justice for a verification of Bevilacqua’s DNA, obtained through sharing of the Siena Prosecutor’s Office, with the samples from the Zodiac case.

Almost five years after my complaint, on December 23, 2022, the 87-year-old American died of natural causes, without a comparison ever being made between his DNA and the samples from the Zodiac case.
And without ever being heard by a florentine magistrate since he was reported, neither as a suspect or as offended party.
Why would there be a concern to do so? There was no need, according to prosecutors and judges who dealt with the Bevilacqua case in Florence until 2023.
