Michele Misseri, Cosima Serrano, and Sabrina Misseri were the key perpetrators in Sarah Scazzi's murder. The 2010 murder of 15-year-old Sarah Scazzi in Avetrana, Italy, became widely known for its notable developments and public revelations. The crime was reportedly carried out by her relatives.

It started when Michele Misseri, her uncle, confessed to the murder only to retract his statement that his daughter, Sabrina, and wife, Cosima Serrano, were masterminding the crime.

Cosima Serrano and Sabrina Misseri stay behind bars. Applications filed by Sabrina in appeal include a temporary leave application that was denied. Meanwhile, Michele is released and continues asserting his crime in Sarah's murder, making the public image of the case even more confused.

This case has been the subject of an extensive investigation in This Is Not Hollywood, as the psychological and social aspects behind such familial treason are brought out. The series premiered on Hulu on December 11, 2024.


Michele Misseri: The conflicted uncle

From the beginning, the focal figure of the case was Michele Misseri. He first confessed to murdering Sarah and claimed he did it alone. Later, he shifted the narrative by telling everyone that his daughter Sabrina was the culprit with the help of Cosima, who allegedly covered up the murder.

Michele's involvement was central to the case, as revealed during the investigation and subsequent trials. After being convicted of hiding the body of Sarah and related crimes, Michele spent part of his imprisonment term. According to L'Unione Sarda, after his release from Lecce prison, Michele Misseri repeated his confession in the press, saying:

"It was me, I killed her, I should stay here."

He regretted accusing his daughter Sabrina and declared his guilt for the crime. This statement was made after his release from prison on February 11, 2024.


Cosima Serrano: A controversial conviction

Cosima Serrano, Sarah's aunt, was charged with the murder along with her daughter, Sabrina. Prosecutors alleged that Cosima played a significant role in entrapping Sarah in their home where the crime occurred. Although she maintained her innocence, Cosima was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2013.

As of 2024, Cosima is still in prison, insisting that she was wrongly convicted. Her lawyers have filed several appeals, which have all been rejected.


Sabrina Misseri: The "Cold Planner"

Sabrina Misseri was Sarah's cousin and ex-best friend. She was painted as the mastermind of the crime. Investigators said that jealousy reportedly made them commit this crime since she felt Sarah overshadowed her, and this is what harbored the resentment against her. Together with her mother, Sabrina received a life sentence for murder.

Sabrina has maintained that she never participated in the crime; she says she is an innocent victim of a wrong judgment. In prison, she is said to be subdued but continues to pursue a case against her in higher courts.


The case of Sarah Scazzi serves as a reminder of the complexities of familial relationships and the impact of crime on families. From those public confessions by Michele Misseri, mixed with conflicting testimonies, the mystery of what happened will always remain an issue.

Meanwhile, Cosima Serrano and Sabrina Misseri remain serving out their life sentences, unwavering in their claims of innocence. As This Is Not Hollywood revisits this story, it examines the events and intricate dynamics that captured national and international attention.
