for murder. and just when you think this case couldn t get any stranger, another twist. an ex-con came to spezi and in return for a few euros gave him a white-hot tip. the source claimed that carlo had taken him to one of his hideaways on the grounds of this centuries-old villa, and what he had seen inside might crack the monster case once and for all. he told me that he saw in his house the gun and in a little armoire six metallic boxes. the gun, and in an armoire, six boxes matching the number of women who had been mutilated by the monster. tantalizing, and if true, proof that carlo was the killer. did you believe it? well, yes. spezi just about had a heart attack. he was telling me this. i said, mario, this sounds too good to be true. it s a renaissance villa. but preston was intrigued enough that he asked spezi to
what do you think of this theory? it s completely crazy. it s completely crazy. spezi developed his own very different theory based on something he says he was told by a high-ranking member of the carabinieri, the italian federal police. they tell me to a journalist who is writing about the monster, they told this new story very interesting. the carabinieri had withdrawn from the case years before, reportedly outraged at the way it was being managed by local investigators. but obsession is obsession. they continued a secret investigation into the sardinian connection to see if they could figure out who the monster of florence was. the unofficial investigation had led to a suspect. he was the son of one of the sardinians involved in the 68 murder. so he could have gotten hold of the gun. the key to the whole mystery. this is the real, real problem of the case of the monster of florence. who has the gun and how they
so you are not the monster of florence? you asked him outright? i asked him directly. i asked him, mario, i m sorry. i can t let you do this scoop. i can t let you do this scoop. then he said something very vulgar in italian. the gist of it being what? the gist of it, i like my women living when i have sex with them. then the writers got up to leave. he said, ah, spezi, i forgot something. i never joke. and i never kid around. what did you take that to mean? well, it was a threat. in italian it s even more of a threat than it is in english. as you left his home after speaking to him, what did you think? well, me and doug, we were silent. we entered our car, and then almost at the same time, we say, it s him. if it was him, if carlo was the monster, it was a stunning moment. and it would make a great ending to their book on the monster case.

man they suspected of being the monster. translator: evidently, mr. preston did not do the least bit of fact checking. in 1983 when the two young germans were killed, this person was in prison for another crime unrelated to the monster crimes. if giutarri was so sure that carlo was not the monster, we asked if he would set up a meeting for us and that night at giutarri s office, it happened. after conferring with him for nearly an hour, carlo agreed to speak to us, but not on camera. standing face-to-face, at times uncomfortably close, carlo answered our questions with a smile that barely concealed his contempt. we asked if he was good with a knife. he said no, although he does own a scuba knife. he s a diver. we asked if he was a good shot. he said he had never fired a gun. not even a toy. we asked about his prison record. he said he was sure he had been in prison during one of the monster killings.
