Where is Alivia Kail? Was she sold into human trafficking or the victim of a homicide? Is she still alive?
So many unanswered questions after all these years, and still no sign of Alivia Kail, a vibrant 19-year-old who lived in West Mifflin.
Channel 11′s Chief Investigative Reporter Rick Earle sat down with investigators, who are taking another close look at the case file. He also spoke with Kail’s mother, who is still holding out hope.
I believe I’m going to find her. I think the year 2023 is going to happen,” said Christine Didiano, during a recent interview at her South Hills home.
Twelve years after her daughter vanished on a trip to Florida with her boyfriend, Didiano is still holding out hope that her daughter is alive.
Earle: Do you think your daughter is still alive?
Didiano: Yes.
In March 2011, Kail left Pittsburgh and headed to Florida with her boyfriend of six months, Alex Lorenzi.
Kail spoke with her brother at his home in West Mifflin just before she left.
“Her words specifically was you know, ‘Hey, don’t worry about me. I’ll be okay. I don’t have to pay for this trip,’” said Didiano.
That was the last time her family saw or heard from her.
“I tried calling her phone, she didn’t answer. You know I was getting very suspicious. You know, ‘Why isn’t she? It’s going into voicemail,’” said Didiano.
Didiano said they would soon learn that Kail’s boyfriend had returned to Pittsburgh from Florida, but there was no sign of Alivia.
She wasn’t answering her cell phone and her friends and family hadn’t seen her.
“I believe that you know, there’s some harm done. This is not like her. This is totally out of character,” said Kail.
