In 2003 she was shot dead on the balcony of her flat and no one was ever charged or convicted for her murder - which remains a mystery to this day. - I came across her story while researching the phenomenon of kidnapping in Sardinia. In fact, Luisa was the daughter of Matteo Boe - one of the last Sardinian bandits, and a kidnapper, who appeared on the very restricted list of the twenty most dangerous Italian criminals during the time when he was on the run between the years 1986 -1992. [interview GUP Magazine]. - In her most recent project ?Some of you killed Luisa,? - a photo-text book - Valeria Cherchi (b. 1986) examines small Sardinian communities as an example of a civil context that has opted to shape its social structure by choosing omerta (Code of Silence). - Fine/as new copy
