All That Is Left of Life

Around eight o'clock, Maresciallo Tommaso Nardulli arrived at the scene where Signora Sattaflora had laid Betta Ansaldo covered with a white embroidered linen sheet from her dowry. Carla Sattaflora, who had known Betta since childhood, considered it a final gift. Meanwhile, Marisa Ansaldo had collapsed and a family doctor, Giovanni Di Lillo, had rushed to her side.
Despite no cure for despair, Di Lillo had guided Marisa back home. At home, the Balestrieri family was present when they discovered Letizia, bewildered by her daughter's state. Mauro and Giulio Sattaflora informed her of Betta's accident, and Letizia ordered them to place her on the sofa.
Stelvio Ansaldo, whose daughter had died, remained by the beach as onlookers approached him with offers of assistance. Nardulli, shocked to learn the deceased was Stelvio's daughter, approached the white sheet and spoke to the crowd. He ordered his subordinates to conduct a preliminary investigation and headed towards the onlookers, who were under a pergola for shade.
Nardulli later spoke with Faragna, who confirmed the girl did not drown. Concluding the scene was compromised, Nardulli ordered everyone to move on, leaving behind a most challenging crime scene.
