Horror. It all started at the very end of January in 2018. Imagine this. It's cold, damp, the kind of winter air that makes your breath look like smoke. On the 30th, maybe even the 31st, depending on who you ask, a man stepped out of his house and noticed something unusual. Right there, near the front of his property, almost too close for comfort, sat two old suitcases. Not the kind you'd take on vacation to the beach, no. These looked beat up, stained, heavy. They weren't on a sidewalk or left at a bus stop. They were dumped in a ditch on a rural road called Via della Industria, somewhere between two little towns, Cassete Verdini, and Polenza, just a few kilometers away from the Italian city of Machirata. Now, this man wasn't

immediately thinking crime scene. At first it was more like, what the hell? Who dumps their luggage here? But then something hit him, literally hit his nose. The smell. A stench so strong, so foul, that the wind carried it straight into his house. It wasn't just the musty smell of garbage or old clothes. No, it was something sickening, something unmistakably wrong. The kind of smell that makes your stomach turn, even if you don't know exactly what you're smelling. The suitcases themselves looked sketchy, dirty, covered in soil, leaking some kind of fluid. The man stood there, unsettled. His gut told him this wasn't just random trash. Something sinister was going on. So, on the 31st, he did the only thing that made sense. He called the police. When the officers arrived,

they did what cops usually do. They cordoned off the area, put up that little perimeter tape, and started inspecting. At first glance, they weren't too worried. They figured maybe it was just some illegal dumping, maybe rotten food, maybe animal remains,

nothing too serious. But of course, they had to be careful. Procedure demanded they check inside. So they unzipped the first suitcase. And what they found inside was something straight out of a nightmare, human remains, a body, or rather part of one. When they opened the second suitcase, the rest of the horror was revealed. It was the body of a young woman, dismembered and stuffed into those bags like

trash. She'd been beaten, stabbed, cut apart. Her face and body were barely recognizable. The brutality was shocking. And in that moment, the story of Pamela Mastropietro, the case we're talking about today truly began. So who was Pamela? Pamela Mastropietro was born on August 23rd, 1999, in Rome. She was the only daughter of Alessandra Verney and Stefano Mastropietro. Now, if you go digging around online, you'll find some people saying her family was super wealthy, loaded with old money and inheritance. But that's not actually true. Pamela's parents were hardworking middle class folks. They They ran a business together, worked long hours, and built up what they had through sweat, not privilege.

They were decent, honest people who poured everything into raising their only child. Pamela, from everything we know, was a sweet girl, shy, gentle, a little naive. She wasn't the kind of kid to cause trouble. In school, she was bright and capable, the kind of student who actually did her homework. But behind that quiet exterior, there were cracks. Pamela had always struggled with self-esteem. She wanted desperately to be liked, to be cared for, to feel safe. She craved affection and validation, maybe more than most. And she was extremely sensitive. Things hit her hard. Emotions didn't just brush past her, they slammed into her

full force. She could swing from happy to devastated in the blink of an eye. Those intense ups and downs, those emotional extremes would follow her through life and play a huge role in how things unfolded. The first big blow came when she was only 11. Her parents' marriage hit a rough patch. They came close to divorce and the house filled with tension and arguments. For kids, that kind of atmosphere can be crushing, and for Pamela, it was too much. Her mind and emotions collapsed under the weight of it. Even though her parents eventually worked things out and stayed together, Pamela couldn't just move on. The pain stayed stuck inside her, unresolved, festering. By the time she turned 12, Pamela had started drinking.

Hanging around with kids who weren't exactly positive influencers, she found a false sense of comfort in alcohol. It numbed her, made her feel accepted, at least for a little while. But it was the start of a downward spiral. Her behavior started to change. She was moody, unpredictable. Hi, I'm Darren Marler. Host of the Weird Darkness podcast.

Her parents couldn't understand what was happening, so they turned to professionals for help. Therapy revealed that Pamela was suffering from borderline personality disorder or BPD. If you're not familiar with it, BPD is a mental health condition that makes it really hard to regulate emotions. People with BPD often struggle with identity, relationships, impulsivity, and extreme mood swings. It can be exhausting for the person living it and for the family trying to help. Pamela was put on medication. Her parents took on the role of watchful guardians, making sure she took her pills, monitoring her diet, and keeping her on track.

For a while, things seemed stable. But when Pamela turned 14, the cycle repeated. Once again, she got involved. with the wrong crowd. Once again, she slipped into destructive habits. This time, it wasn't just alcohol. Her peers were using drugs, and Pamela joined in. Schoolwork fell apart, she skipped classes, her grades nosedived, and her behavior became more alarming. At 15, her parents made the difficult decision to send her to rehab. And surprisingly, it worked. After several months in a structured program, Pamela came home looking like her old self again. She went back to school,

reconnected with family, even seemed happy. For a brief moment, it looked like she'd turned a corner. But then came the boyfriend. His name was Andre Claudio Nitu, a 21-year-old who entered Pamela's life like a dark cloud. From the very beginning, her parents hated him. He was older, sketchy and manipulative. The red flags were everywhere. He wasn't just a bad influence. He was toxic. And worst of all, he introduced Pamela to heroin. Think about that. A girl already struggling with emotional instability, a history of addiction, fragile self-esteem, and then comes this guy, dangling one of the most dangerous drugs in the world in front of her. It was a recipe for disaster. Andre didn't just use drugs with Pamela. Reports say he forced her into situations against her will,

controlling and exploiting her. Her parents saw what was happening and fought hard to intervene. In 2017, they finally managed to take legal action against him. He was sentenced to four years in prison. It should have been a relief. But for Pamela, the damage had already been done. She was devastated, emotionally broken, and felt abandoned and alone. Her parents realized she couldn't recover in Rome. The city was full of bad influences, bad memories, and temptations. She needed a fresh start, somewhere away from all that. So they made the decision to send her to a rehab program in Coridonia, Machirata. The facility was called P-A-R-S, a cooperative focused on recovery. On paper, it sounded like the perfect setup, a three-month voluntary program with therapy sessions,

both individual and group, controlled diet, strict routines, medical supervision, nurses on staff. The idea was that Pamela would never feel isolated or unsupported. The environment was supposed to be safe, structured, and nurturing. And at first, it worked. The first month went smoothly. Pamela seemed focused, motivated, even hopeful. When her family visited, she was a lot of looked better, happier, determined to get her life back. The second month was just as promising. It felt like she was building real momentum. And then came January 2018, her third and final month in the program. She was just about to finish, just about to go home. But on January 29th, everything fell apart. Pamela's mother, Alessandra, got a phone call that froze her blood. She looked at the

screen and saw the rehab center's number. Naturally, she assumed it was Pamela calling to check in, to share how things were going. Instead, it was a doctor, and his words sent a chill through her entire body. Pamela had run away. According to the staff, she'd just left. No warning, no explanation. She packed up her things, walked right out, and disappeared. They claimed they had no idea where she was. they were looking, but nothing made sense. Alessandra couldn't believe it. Her daughter was about to finish the program. She'd been stable, positive, ready to come home.

Why would she suddenly run away? Even stranger, the facility was supposed to be secure. It had cameras, staff, supervision. How could Pamela just vanish? Police interviews with fellow patients painted an even uglier picture. According to them, the rehab wasn't nearly as strict. does it claim to be. Hi, I'm Darren Marler.

Some patients left to go buy drugs, then returned without consequences. Security was practically non-existent. The whole idea that Pamela was under constant care,

a total illusion. And yes, unfortunately, she'd fallen back into bad company inside the program. Other patients used drugs, and Pamela gave in. She relapsed. And on January 29th, After an argument inside the center, she walked away. That was the last time anyone saw her alive. To be continued.
