The final victims were French tourists Jean-Michel Kraveichvili and Nadine Mauriot. Following this crime, the killer sent a taunting letter to prosecutor Silvia Della Monica that included a piece of Mauriot’s breast. The Investigation and Suspects
In the early 1980s, investigators realized the ballistics from the current murders matched the exact .22 caliber Beretta used in the 1968 slaying of Barbara Locci. Stefano Mele, Locci’s husband, had been convicted of that crime and was still behind bars during the later murders. This proved Mele could not be the Monster, forcing police to realize the true killer had either committed the 1968 crime or somehow obtained Mele's gun. The Trial of Pietro Pacciani
Their amateur investigation, however, drew the ire of the authorities. The pair came to believe that the true mastermind behind the murders was not the peasant Pacciani, but a far more sophisticated figure. They pointed to Francesco Calamandrei, a bespectacled, overweight retired pharmacist living in the same village as Pacciani. According to their theory, Calamandrei was the brains of the operation, a satanic cult leader who ordered Pacciani and the other Snack Buddies to carry out the murders and obtain the gruesome body parts.

Pasquale Gentilcore and Stefania Pettini are shot and stabbed. Pettini is the first victim to suffer post-mortem violations, being stabbed 97 times.
The murders continued relentlessly. The killer targeted Italian couples, and eventually, international tourists. In September 1983, two young German men, Wilhelm Friedrich Horst Meyer and Jens Uwe Rüsch, were shot dead in their Volkswagen van—the killer likely mistaking Rüsch's long hair for that of a woman.
In the later murders, the female victims were dragged from the vehicle. The killer expertly used a blade to surgically excise their pubic areas and, in later cases, their left breasts. Chronology of the Bloodbath : Paolo Mainardi and Antonella Migliorini are shot

Wilhelm Friedrich Horst Meyer and Jens Uwe Rüsch, two German students, were shot to death in their Volkswagen van. It is widely believed the Monster mistook the long-haired Rüsch for a woman. No mutilation occurred. Following this crime, the killer sent a taunting
The ritual of the murders was almost always the same: the killer shot the male partner first, then turned on the woman. In at least half of the cases, the violence did not end with death. The Monster used a knife to excise large portions of skin surrounding the female victims' sexual organs, and in two instances also cut off a breast. A fragment of one victim's breast was even mailed to the only female member of the investigative team. This unique and gruesome signature led some to call him "The Surgeon of Death".
Today, the case remains officially open. Amateur sleuths, journalists, and forensic experts continue to debate the evidence. Was the Monster a single, highly organized lone wolf with surgical knowledge who successfully evaded police? Or was it a chaotic joint venture between local misfits? Until the elusive .22 caliber Beretta is found, the rolling hills of Chianti will keep their dark secrets.
