00:00During that period, the inhabitants and visitors of the area will say,
00:06Not all the water we see today flowed in the ditch,
00:11fruit of days and days of incessant rain.
00:15So, it is here that morning that the murderer lowers the body of Elena Ceste,
00:21then it curves forward and enters the large concrete tunnel
00:27which runs under the railway track,
00:30dragging the body of the unfortunate gold girl behind him.
00:36Once you get out on the other side,
00:40the man frees his naked body from the cloth that wraps him
00:44and deposits it at this point in the ditch.
00:52This will be the case for nine long months,
00:56the liquid and muddy tomb of poor Elena Ceste.
01:02For the investigators, the one just exposed,
01:07it could be a reliable reconstruction
01:10of the concealment of Elena Ceste's body.
01:15Found on October 18th,
01:18during some reclamation works around the Mersa river,
01:22carried out by the municipality of Isola d'Asti after 12 years of neglect.
01:28A completely random find, then.
01:32Once the body was found, however,
01:36the puzzle of the investigation has been put back together
01:40and the prosecutors of Asti and the GIP
01:42They also provided the name of the woman's killer,
01:47her husband Michele Bonincontri.
01:50Exactly one year after the death of Elena Ceste,
01:53what to many seemed inevitable,
01:56but that never happened,
01:59it finally happened.
02:00There's nobody home.
02:02There's nobody home.
02:04Although, widely expected,
02:06the arrest of Michele Bonincontri
02:08It took everyone by surprise a bit.
02:13In fact, to testify to this,
02:15there were only a few photographers and a few reporters.
02:19The images you see,
02:21simple and dramatic,
02:24he filmed them with his cell phone
02:26colleague Maria Lucia Monticelli.
02:29We are in front of Michele Bonincontri's house.
02:31At this moment the Carabinieri marshal entered
02:34by Siglo Redastri, Michele Salcinelli,
02:36to modify Michele's arrest.
02:40So, Michele was arrested.
02:43The four children were entrusted to their maternal grandparents
02:48and went to live with them
02:51in the country house in Govone.
02:54At least for now,
02:56Michele will not be able to see his children
02:58and will be tried for murder
03:01and concealment of a corpse.
03:04The body of his wife Elena.
03:06A terrible tragedy
03:08which has upset the lives of many people
03:11and shocked public opinion.
03:16Before going any further, however,
03:18let's try to define
03:19the scenario in which the crime allegedly took place.
03:30Is Elena tired of the life she leads?
03:34One child after another?
03:36The boots sunk in the mud and excrement
03:40to feed the chickens and rabbits?
03:44Up to 22 years old,
03:47until her marriage to Michele, that is,
03:49Elena lives in Turin.
03:51She is a cultured and intelligent girl
03:55who cultivates relationships and has many interests.
03:59Now she is a housewife and a farmer
04:02and she always sees only her husband Michele.
04:07For goodness sake,
04:09Elena is a tender and loving mother.
04:13To understand this, just spend time,
04:16as it happened to us,
04:18a few minutes with the four children.
04:20lost,
04:22drained by pain and anguish
04:24due to the abnormal absence of the mother.
04:30Since the youngest daughter goes to kindergarten,
04:34Elena has more time for herself.
04:37He's only 37 years old
04:39and she's still young and beautiful.
04:42In recent months,
04:44the psychologists of the Carabinieri
04:46they had traced
04:48the psychological autopsy of Elena Ceste,
04:51a test with a gloomy and ominous name,
04:56from which however
04:57it was a result
04:59that Elena was living a moment
05:02of great vitality,
05:03a kind of new adolescence.
05:10In October 2013
05:13there is a serious marital crisis.
05:17Browsing Facebook,
05:19Elena finds a childhood friend
05:21and the two meet often.
05:26Michael,
05:27always attentive to everything,
05:30he senses something.
05:31Maybe the wife
05:32he confides something in him.
05:34Elena is not well anyway.
05:37She is gripped
05:38from feelings of guilt.
05:39Leave it around
05:40the outbursts
05:41of his suffering.
05:44He was crying
05:44and I remember
05:45that I hugged her,
05:46I kissed her
05:47and I say Elena
05:48be calm,
05:51nobody says anything about you.
05:54He tells me no, no,
05:54but however
05:55I realized
05:57that I did wrong.
06:01That crisis anyway
06:02it seems outdated.
06:04But in January
06:05Michael discovers
06:07on Elena's cell phone
06:08sentimental messages
06:10that sends them
06:12the father
06:12of the schoolmate
06:14of one of their children.
06:16The reports
06:17between spouses
06:18they are done
06:19swirling.
06:20The two,
06:21between accusations
06:22and recriminations,
06:24they spend
06:25sleepless nights
06:26and shake.
06:28Elena
06:29talk to Michael
06:30of separation.
06:31Is it possible?
06:33And the children?
06:34She would not have
06:36never separated
06:37from the children,
06:38that's for sure.
06:40Michael
06:40could ever
06:42accept
06:42a separation,
06:44the decay
06:45of his family?
06:47He who professes
06:48a religiosity
06:49so all-encompassing?
06:51He who considers
06:53Elena,
06:53the four children,
06:55the house,
06:56the courtyard,
06:57the chickens,
06:59the rabbits,
07:00its exclusive property,
07:02the personal universe
07:04on which to exercise
07:05his authority?
07:07Then there is the material side
07:09not to be underestimated.
07:11Between the two spouses
07:12there is no communion
07:14of the goods.
07:15The house,
07:16the vineyard
07:17and everything else
07:19they belong
07:20to Elena.
07:21So,
07:22if she
07:23began
07:24to fantasize
07:25a new life
07:26without him,
07:27Michael
07:28could receive it
07:30serious damage.
07:32So here we are
07:34see you on Friday
07:35January 24,
07:37the day
07:38in which Elena dies.
07:40The last image
07:41what we have of Elena
07:42that's it
07:43that transmits to us
07:44her husband.
07:45A woman
07:47suffering
07:47and confused
07:48that after
07:49one night
07:50agitated
07:51and sleepless
07:51he doesn't do it
07:52what he did
07:53Usually,
07:54accompany
07:55the children
07:56at school.
07:57That morning
07:58will accompany them
07:59the father.
08:00He said
08:01who didn't feel like it,
08:02then I said
08:02he doesn't feel like it
08:03because honestly
08:04he didn't sleep,
08:06it's true that
08:06I don't know
08:07dreamed.
08:09And it was quiet
08:10why we did it
08:10then breakfast
08:11all together.
08:13And now
08:13listen carefully
08:15Michele's words
08:16and keep them
08:17well in mind
08:19Why
08:20hidden in the middle
08:21to them
08:23there could be
08:23the key
08:24to access
08:26to the truth.
08:27And then the children
08:28they start to go down
08:29one at a time down
08:30and she
08:31start to go down
08:32she too
08:32behind
08:33to me.
08:33I said
08:34why are you coming down
08:34stay here
08:35and he said
08:36No
08:37leave them at home
08:38the children
08:38don't bring them
08:39at school.
08:40I said
08:40because I don't have to
08:41take to school
08:42Today is Friday
08:43they have to go to school.
08:45He said
08:45No
08:46No
08:46leave them at home
08:46that controls them
08:47and it went down
08:48with me outside
08:49How do they control them?
08:51Only with the sweater
08:52and I saw
08:54that she
08:54he didn't want to
08:55return home
08:56I took it from him
08:56a jacket of mine
08:57and I put it on him
08:58I said
08:58Elena
08:58don't get sick
08:59because I already see
09:00that you are not well
09:01if we cause ailments
09:02they are ailments
09:03and here we can no longer save ourselves
09:05and she pulled me
09:07don't take them to school
09:08don't take them to school
09:09because they control them
09:11and I said
09:11What do they have to check for us?
09:13Yes
09:13because our children
09:14they want to control them
09:16because they want them
09:17go away from me
09:19and then
09:19come back to do
09:20the conversations of the night
09:22he made the speeches
09:22of the night
09:23but he did them more calmly
09:24not that he hit himself on the head
09:26like the night
09:28so
09:28It's 8 in the morning
09:31Michael comes down
09:32with the children in the courtyard
09:33and it starts
09:34towards the car
09:36Elena too
09:37he goes down to the courtyard
09:38he tells us about it
09:39Michael himself
09:41he beckoned
09:42that was coming back
09:43and he went
09:43towards the entrance of the house
09:44I started the engine
09:46here's when
09:46when you left
09:48that you saw it
09:49she was wearing a sweater
09:50with the jacket
09:51that you had put on him
09:52Yes
09:53and accompanied you
09:54until you left
09:56in the courtyard
09:56up to near the car
09:58Yes
09:58up to near the car
09:59then you left
10:00Yes
10:03that morning
10:04Michael is wasting time
10:07he procrastinates before returning home
10:09lingers in the streets of Costigliore d'Astri
10:12go and ask the municipality for information on the IMU
10:16here he is about to run via Roma
10:19filmed by a camera in the town hall
10:22with a droid face
10:24why Michael hesitates
10:27why doesn't he come home right away
10:29where is his wife
10:31he tells us himself
10:33who is sick
10:34perhaps he fears
10:35what awaits you at home
10:37a combative Elena
10:39determined to defend her reasons
10:42or vice versa
10:43he wants to show everyone
10:45to be a quiet man
10:47normal
10:48that at that moment
10:50he only has one thought in his head
10:52the taxes
10:53in the end
10:55breaks the induce
10:56ride on the white Peugeot
10:59and it starts
11:01sitting in the car
11:03Michael
11:03inside himself
11:04maybe he's trembling
11:06maybe the brain burns them
11:08he already knows what will happen soon
11:12to
11:18to
11:21to
11:32Thank you all.
12:09Thank you all.
12:22If Michael killed Elena, a few minutes later, the unfortunate woman lay dead at his feet.
12:54If we assume that Michele Boninconti is a murderer, as the Asti Public Prosecutor's Office and the GIP claim,
13:04So we have to think that now that murderer has two problems and he has to solve both of them quickly.
13:13He has to get rid of his wife's body first and then he has to immediately do something to get away with it.
13:22That is, it must give rise to the comedy of Elena going mad, stripping naked and running away from home.
13:31Michele planned everything down to the smallest detail. They're looking at the Asti prosecutor's office.
13:37He killed, loaded the body into the car and went to throw it in the ditch.
13:47That point of the Mersa stream, hidden by the woods, presents a series of advantages for the assassin.
13:56It's very close. You can reach it by car in three minutes. It's inaccessible.
14:02It is visible from Michele's house, which will allow him to monitor everything that happens in that area
14:12and possibly intervene to keep his fellow firefighters and civil protection men away from the woods,
14:23which Michele will do in abundance.
14:29Having freed himself of the body, Michele Boninconti can devote all his energies to covering up the case.
14:37This is what those who are convinced of their guilt think.
14:42He goes to the neighbor's house and plays the part of the desperate husband to perfection.
14:48He came to my house very alarmed saying I can't find Elena, help me look for her.
14:52He was very scared, let's say. I saw it, in fact I didn't really understand what was happening.
15:00Then when I realized he was telling me he had Elena's clothes in the car, I said
15:06My God she can't be that far away that's why if she's not dressed...
15:11And did you immediately start looking for it?
15:13Right away and immediately. Yes, yes, yes.
15:15I took the car and he went down, I went up.
15:18Her husband was looking for her everywhere, even in the trunk of his car.
15:23He just didn't know where to look for her anymore, poor thing.
15:27Marilena then heads towards the church of Santa Margherita and towards Motta.
15:34Michele goes to Govone, which is about ten kilometers away,
15:39where Elena, naked, barefoot and without glasses, at least according to what Michele says,
15:47with a temperature of zero degrees, it could never arrive.
15:52Michele, however, pretends to look for her there and, as a good son-in-law, takes advantage of it.
15:58to turn on the radiators of the in-laws' country house,
16:03who are coming for the weekend.
16:05Obviously, the guilty parties think, with this trip to Govone,
16:12only apparently bizarre, Michele achieves an important result.
16:19It distracts attention from that grove on Rio Mersa.
16:24In the following months, in fact, who will suspect him,
16:28he will think that Michele might have hidden Elena's body
16:33somewhere along the road to Govone
16:37or who threw it into the Tanaro river.
16:45At this point you will ask yourself,
16:48for the investigators of Asti,
16:50What evidence would nail Michele Boninconti?
16:54Phone records, first of all, listen up.
17:00I called the neighbor and asked if she had seen...
17:03When at 8.54 he calls his neighbor to ask her if she has seen Elena,
17:09it is written like this in the indictment,
17:12Michele's cell phone connects to the cell that serves the area of his home.
17:18For the investigators, however, Michele is not at home,
17:23but on a moving machine.
17:25He's going to dispose of Elena's body.
17:30At 9.01 Michele calls Elena's cell phone
17:35and this time it connects to the cell that serves the Rio Mersa area.
17:41The investigators explain this phone call to Elena as follows.
17:45Michele makes his dead wife's cell phone ring
17:49because he didn't find it
17:51and it occurs to him that it might be among Elena's clothes
17:55that are on the seat of the white Peugeot.
17:59The next phone call too,
18:01the one that Michele does at 9.03,
18:04hook the same cell,
18:06but halfway through the call we switch to the cell
18:10which serves the area where Michele lives.
18:13In short, for the prosecution,
18:16the telephone records describe punctually
18:21the journey that Michele takes
18:23to get rid of the body and go home.
18:33Then there is the evidence of the mud on Elena's clothes,
18:37the ones that Michele had placed on the seat of the white Peugeot.
18:42That mud comes from Rio Mersa,
18:46the experts of the prosecution claim.
18:48Michele splashed his clothes while getting back into the car
18:53after abandoning Elena's body in the ditch.
18:57That mud and the phone records
19:01for the Public Prosecutor's Office
19:03they would nail Michele Boninconti.
19:06What do Michele Boninconti's lawyers think?
19:10Wednesday, July 1st,
19:12during the first hearing
19:14in the Palace of Justice of Asti,
19:16precisely on the issue of telephone cells,
19:19which seems to be the most qualifying argument
19:22of the entire accusatory system,
19:24Boninconti's defense
19:26he temporarily scored a point in his favor.
19:30Taking advantage of some loopholes in the procedure,
19:33Lawyers Girola and Tortoroglio
19:35they presented a technical consultancy
19:38on telephone cells,
19:39what they say
19:40it would eliminate the Public Prosecutor's consultancy
19:44on the same topic.
19:46Consultation cannot be allowed,
19:49the Public Prosecutor objected
19:51and the civil party lawyers,
19:54because it was submitted out of time
19:57and does not fall within the context of the abbreviated procedure.
20:01After a long Council Chamber,
20:04the single judge
20:06However, he admitted the defense's advice,
20:09which will be discussed together with the other consultations,
20:12the one about the mud on Elena's clothes
20:14and the one on the causes of his death,
20:17July 22nd,
20:19during the next hearing of the trial.
20:22Only then will we know
20:23if this consultancy
20:25will really be able
20:27to rebalance,
20:29at least in part,
20:31the scale that currently
20:33it all goes against Michele.
20:35In the meantime,
20:37his lawyers are claiming victory.
20:40It was very important for us,
20:42because it is an expertise
20:43that has reached us
20:45just a few days ago
20:46and it is an expertise that,
20:48in our opinion,
20:49obviously from our point of view,
20:52it's disruptive
20:53and it unhinges a little
20:56what are the certainties
20:57of the accusatory system.
21:03If you go back and read them again
21:05the statements
21:06released in bursts
21:07after the disappearance of his wife,
21:10you realize
21:12which are many
21:13of questions
21:14to which Michele
21:15he did not give convincing answers.
21:18Let's take, for example,
21:20Elena's cell phone.
21:22When he comes home
21:23and he can't find his wife,
21:25Michele goes out in the car
21:27to look for her.
21:28I took his cell phone
21:29and I put up with it.
21:31He brings with him
21:32Elena's cell phone too.
21:34And I went out in the car.
21:36Have you heard it?
21:38Why then,
21:39in the next half hour,
21:42Michele does five times
21:43his wife's number,
21:45but he didn't have it
21:46that cell phone in your pocket?
21:48Not to mention
21:50of Elena's glasses.
21:52In Michele's stories
21:53of that morning,
21:54the only pair of glasses
21:56that Elena uses
21:58appears and disappears
21:59now here,
22:01now there.
22:02But to the police
22:03Michele delivers
22:05a pair of fake glasses.
22:08Why?
22:09And that double pile
22:11of Elena's underwear,
22:13of different colors,
22:14that Michele that morning
22:16he has on the car seat,
22:18what were they used for?
22:20Some time ago
22:21we came into possession
22:24of the minutes
22:25of information gathering
22:27to which she had been subjected
22:29in Asti
22:30the eldest daughter
22:32by Michele Boninconi.
22:33It was February 28th
22:35from last year.
22:37Elena has disappeared
22:39for 34 days.
22:41The magistrate
22:42he wants to know
22:43from the little girl
22:44in the morning
22:45of the disappearance.
22:47Remember
22:48What did Michele tell us?
22:50And then the children
22:51they start to go down
22:52one at a time down
22:53and she starts to go down
22:55she too behind
22:55only with the sweater.
22:58I saw that she
22:59he didn't want to go back home
23:00I got him one of my jackets
23:01and I put it on him.
23:03I said
23:03Elena, don't get sick
23:04because I already see
23:05that you are not well.
23:06If we cause ailments
23:07they are ailments
23:08and here we are no longer saved.
23:09When you left
23:10that you saw it
23:11she was wearing a sweater
23:13with the jacket
23:13that you had put on him
23:15and accompanied you

23:39like every day.
23:40I didn't hear
23:41they bicker.
23:43Mom was fine
23:44Mom didn't accompany us
23:46out of the house
23:47she didn't go out into the yard
23:49I'm sure
23:50he didn't follow us
23:52he didn't have a jacket.
23:54Mom's habit
23:56it was about taking a shower
23:57in the evening
23:58and he had the habit
23:59to undress in the bathroom.
24:02Mom that morning
24:03it was like every other morning
24:06she wasn't even confused
24:08it was just normal.
24:12What effect does it have?
24:13see it collapse a little
24:15at a time
24:15the castle of lies
24:17built to hide
24:19Elena's body?
24:21And it's not terrible
24:23when the castle
24:24collapses due to the statements
24:26of one of your children
24:27the creatures that are yours
24:29most expensive in the world.
