The position of Vasile Frumuzache, confessed perpetrator of the murders of the Romanian escorts Ana Maria Andrei, 27, and Denisa Maria Adas, 30, now oscillates between that of a lone serial killer and that of a hitman, executor of death sentences on behalf of a gang that wants to control the prostitution racket.

It is all to be established, to be verified, but the investigation by the Prato public prosecutor's office faces a new phase, while keeping the confessions of Vasile Frumuzache and remaining mainly focused on the risk of being faced with a maniacal serial killer rather than a gang murderer.

Gaps and inconsistencies in his version of events forced investigators to carefully define the profile and role of the 32-year-old security guard.

A phone call lasting a good 40 minutes that Frumuzache made in the area of the Prato residence on the night of Denisa's murder is under scrutiny. The Tgr Rai della Toscana reports on it: it is not known who he spoke to, he used a phone he had available, which was then seized.

The circumstance supports the investigators' belief that Frumuzache acted with the support of accomplices.

In this regard, there is also the fact that someone was looking after his two small children at home - his wife was reportedly abroad - while he was absent from his home in Bizzarrino di Monsummano for a long time that night.

Who was with the children while their parents were away? Investigations are also continuing on the contacts and movements of the two murdered women to try to reconstruct their movements, particularly in the Montecatini and Valdinievole area. An area where Frumuzache had put down roots, lived and worked.

As a security guard he had been able to establish relationships, even at night. The public prosecutor assumes the existence of accomplices for this as well.

When Denisa disappeared between 15 and 16 May and it had not yet emerged that she had been murdered, the testimony of a friend and the account of her mother had led to speculation of a kidnapping by a gang, probably engaged in the exploitation of prostitution.

Ana Maria Andrei was staying in the spa town while Denisa was not. The last time the 30-year-old woman, a resident of Rome, chose Prato to work as a prostitute, but it cannot be ruled out that she had also previously worked as a prostitute in Montecatini. Could she have met Frumuzache? In the hypothesis of a racket, it is possible that the two women did not want to submit to pimps but to continue practising prostitution independently.

A motive that could have convinced someone to ask the security guard to punish the two women. However, the public prosecutor's office is finding no evidence of contacts between the security guard and organised crime, and the favourite track is that of a murderer who acted alone with possible external logistical support. Meanwhile, the search continues.

In Montecatini, at the abandoned farmhouse in Via di Riaffrico where Frumuzache had the bodies of the victims found, it appears that a drone was flown in to monitor the countryside from above in order to note any loose soil or other clues; this is the activity to search for any other corpses.

Today, there was also an autopsy on the advanced decomposition remains of Ana Maria Andrei, whose disappearance was reported by a cousin on 1 August 2024. For the certainty of recognition, a DNA comparison is required, an examination that has already been ordered for days.
