Consultants in action to reconstruct the dynamics of the accident
Reconstruct the dynamics, extrapolate the data contained in the system Ais (Automatic Identification System) of the sailing vessel Tortuga and the navigation system of the gozzo, as well as the GPS data of the seized cell phones and make forensic copies of the phones of two relatives of the victim as well as of the skipper under investigation.
This is what the Salerno Public Prosecutor's Office has asked the consultants in charge of carrying out unrepeatable investigations on the vessels involved in the accident that occurred last August 3rd in Amalfi, which cost the life of Adrienne Vaughan, a 45-year-old American and president of Bloomsbury USA, the American subsidiary of Bloomsbury Publishing, the British publishing house that published the Harry Potter novels.
At 16:XNUMX p.m., in the offices of the prosecutor coordinated by Giuseppe Borrelli, the task was entrusted to the experts. The investigators requested the verification of the routes of the two vessels and the point and characteristics of the impact also on the basis of the data obtained from the positioning systems.
The data from the phones seized from Michael Lawrence, Leanna Marie White and skipper Elio Persico will also be crucial to better understand the dynamics of what happened.
Adrienne Vaughan's remains are about to be returned to the States
The collision in a boundless sea, an absurd death dictated by a mocking fate to break the serenity of those moments of relaxation with the family. The remains of Adrienne Vaughan are about to return to the States, after the relevant investigations, meanwhile the dynamics of the fatal accident have been reconstructed point by point by the investigators, led by the Chief Prosecutor Giuseppe Borrelli.
The case is not yet closed, because many elements are being evaluated, including the data from the seized cell phones, also through the recovery of the memories damaged due to the accident, but it seems that the cause of the 45-year-old publisher's death is clearly emerging: the woman was fatally struck by the propeller of one of the two boats and, according to yesterday's notification, probably by the very vessel on which she was traveling.
For this reason, the assignment of the task will be entrusted to technical experts who will have to answer a series of questions posed by the prosecutor. The notification of the technical assessment has reached the three defendants, the two shipowners and the skipper of the Daily Luxury Boat srl, or Beniamino Mellino, Rosa Caputo and Elio Persico.
