In recent days a has entered new item in the investigation into the murder of Chiara Poggi. A pen drivea small USB stick used to store and exchange files from one PC to another. Of course, in the age of streaming, the cloud and photos on social media it seems like distant technology. But In the early 2000s it was one of the few ways to exchange files particularly heavy. A premise. The Garlasco case is complex, made up of tons of papers, different investigations and stratified readings. Here we leave you our section dedicated to the murder of Chiara Poggi, with all the updates.
The pen drive was found in a wicker basket in the kitchen. According to what is emerging, it was capable of containing files up to 2 GB and it seems that he came used mainly by Chiara Poggi. Part of the accusations against Andrea Sempio are based on the analysis of the USB stick, as well as on the analysis of the PC supplied to Marco and Chiara Poggi. The IT expertise was entrusted to Paolo Dal Checco: from what is emerging it seems that on this stick there were still the tracks from some videos with Chiara Poggi and Alberto Stasi.
Something had already emerged, even in past years. I am intimate videos of the couplerecorded by themselves. Some were also found on Chiara Poggi’s PC, under the Albert folder. A password protected folder. The flash drive passed from Alberto Stasi to Chiara Poggi at the beginning of June and was used to download and upload videos between their PCs. After about a month, Chiara Poggi had deleted the videos from the flash drive.
Garlasco, what happens when we talk to ourselves: the Sempio case analyzed with the psychologist Contarino
According to the new accusatory systemSempio would have seen those videos and from there he would have decided to attempt an approach. Once the approach failed, the attack that led to the death of Chiara Poggi would begin. The April 14, 2025 in an audio recorded in Sempio’s car, where he didn’t know he was being intercepted, he himself talks about “video” and “pen”. But how is it possible that videos, actually deleted, somehow remained on this flash drive?
The Transient File Problem: What Happens to Deleted Documents
We don’t want to go down too specific but we leave you some general indications. We do not know the exact model of the flash drive in Chiara Poggi’s hand but given the dimensions and descriptions we are most likely faced with a flash drive that works with SSD memorySolid State Drive. It is the opposite model to HDDthe hard disk drive: here we are talking about a magnetic hard disk on which files are stored.
When we erase data from these media we never really erase itespecially if we do not use specific commands or programs. We are simply telling the software that manages the stick that We no longer need that data. This is the reason why the data is no longer shown to us when we return to the stick. The files though they will actually be deleted only once they will be transcribed with other files.
If by chance you happen to erase an entire hard drive therefore, do not immediately fear that you have lost all your data. Of course, recovering them won’t be easy. There are paid programs but if you don’t have any computer skills it’s better ask a technician directly. If there were actually still videos on that flash drive, it means that Chiara Poggi no longer used it to save anything else.
