VATIN MURR MYSTERY: WAS IT A GAY LOVE TRIANGLE?BARBIE LATZA NA ON THE MURR OF THE POPE’S BODYGUARD—AND THE POSSIBLE GAY LOVE TRIANGLE THAT TRIGGERED .BARBIE LATZA NAUPDATED JUL. 13, 2017 11:08PM EDT / PUBLISHED NOV. 14, 2011 6:31AM EST AP PHOTOON MAY 4, 1998, FIVE SHOTS RANG OUT SI A PRIVATE APARTMENT TUCKED WH THE FORTIFIED WALLS OF VATIN CY ROME. DEAD WERE ALOIS ESTERMANN, THE NEWLY APPOTED MANR OF THE ELE SWISS GUARD ARMY THAT PROTECTS THE POPE; ESTERMANN’S VENEZUELAN WIFE, GLADYS MEZA ROMERO, A FORMER MOL; AND CEDRIC TORNAY, WHO WAS A RPORAL THE SWISS GUARD. NO ONE HEARD THE SHOTS, ACRDG TO NEIGHBORS WHO WERE TERVIEWED AFTER THE MURRS, BUT THE THREE BODI WERE ENOUGH PROOF TO SOLVE THE CRIME, AT LEAST ACRDG TO THE VATIN. THE HOLY SEE’S OFFICIAL LE WAS THAT RPORAL TORNAY HAD KILLED ESTERMANN AND HIS WIFE BEFORE PUTTG HIS 7MM PISTOL TO HIS MOUTH AND BLOWG HIS BRAS OUT. THE MOTIVE WAS SIMPLE, THEY SAID. TORNAY HAD BEEN PASSED UP BY ESTERMANN FOR A PROMOTN AND ULD NOT NTA HIS RAGE. BUT THE TTH BEHD THE VATIN’S SWISS GUARD MURRS IS FAR MORE PLEX, SAYS TORNAY’S MOTHER, MUGUETTE BDAT. EARLIER THIS MONTH SHE PLEAD TO POPE BENEDICT XVI TO REOPEN THE SE AND CLEAR HER SON’S NAME. IN A BRIEF TERVIEW WH THE DAILY BEAST, SHE SAYS HER SON WAS THE VICTIM OF A VER-UP, NOT THE PERPETRATOR OF A MURR-SUICI. “MY SON IS NOT THE MAN BEHD SUCH A MURR,” SHE SAID. “HE WAS NOT CRAZY AND VENGEFUL. HE WAS ACTUALLY A VICTIM THIS CRIME.”BDAT HAS WRTEN A LETTER TO THE CURRENT POPE THE HOPE HE WILL REOPEN THE SE. SHE BELIEV THAT BEE BENEDICT WAS A KEY ADMISTRATOR THE VATIN HIERARCHY DURG HER SON’S MURR VTIGATN, HE MAY BE WILLG TO REVTIGATE THE SE FOR THE SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY. “HE MIGHT WANT CLEAR HIS NSCIENCE,” SHE SAYS. “IT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THG TO DO.”WHEN HAPPENED, THE SWISS GUARD MURR SHOOK ROME TO S RE. BEE VATIN CY IS A SOVEREIGN NATN, HAS S OWN POLICE AND VTIGATIVE UNS. THE POPE IS THE HEAD OF STATE, AND NO ONE THE PAPAL ADMISTRATN HAS TO ANSWER TO ANYONE OUTSI THE VATIN WALLS—EVEN THOUGH THE TY NATN IS TUCKED SI THE CY OF ROME. SECRECY SHROUD THE SE OM THE MOMENT THE NEWS BROKE. IN THE HOURS AFTER A VATIN SIR LEAKED THE NEWS OF A MURR, LOL ITALIAN JOURNALISTS SPECULATED THAT THEN–POPE JOHN PL II HIMSELF HAD BEEN THE VICTIM OF A GUNMAN’S WRATH. IT TOOK NEARLY 24 HOURS FOR THE VATIN TO CLARIFY THAT HAD BEEN THE HEAD OF THE POPE’S PROTECTIVE ARM WHO HAD BEEN KILLED A MURR-SUICI AND NOT THE POPE HIMSELF. IN THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED, REPORTERS FOLLOWED SEVERAL LEADS A YET- UNSOLVED QUT FOR THE TTH ABOUT WHAT MAY HAVE REALLY HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. SEVERAL BOOKS HAVE BEEN PENNED ABOUT THE SE, BUT NONE SO FAR HAVE TLY SOLVED THE CRIME. IT WAS NO SECRET WH THE SWISS GUARD THAT ESTERMANN WAS A BISEXUAL WHO HAD A WEAKNS FOR YOUNG RECS AND HAD ALLEGEDLY JT END A SEXUAL RELATNSHIP WH TORNAY, WHO WAS 23 AT THE TIME. ONE THEORY IS THAT WHEN ESTERMANN TURNED HIS AFFECTNS TO ANOTHER YOUNG REC, TORNAY ALLEGEDLY LOST HIS TEMPER AND KILLED ESTERMANN AND HIS WIFE A JEALO RAGE. IN A BOOK ON THE SE LLED VERBUM DEI ET VERBUM GAY ("GOD'S WORD, GAY WORD"), THOR MASSIMO LACCHEI WR THAT THE DAYS BEFORE THE MURRS, HE HAD OBSERVED ESTERMANN AND TORNAY AT WHAT HE SCRIB AS A GAY BNCH AND HAD LATER TERVIEWED TORNAY, WHO HE SAID WAS CLEARLY ATTACHED TO HIS SUPERR. HE SAYS, ''THEY WERE SO TIMATE AND IENDLY FOR A SUBORDATE AND A PTA.”ANOTHER THEORY IS THAT ESTERMANN WAS AT THE RE OF A POWER STGGLE WH THE SWISS GUARD SELF. ON ONE SI WAS THE üBER-NSERVATIVE OP DEI MOVEMENT, AND ON THE OTHER A MASONIC SECT WH GROWG STRENGTH WH THE ELE GUARD. ESTERMANN, WHO WAS APPOTED AS THE GUARDS’ NEW MANR JT HOURS BEFORE HE WAS MURRED, WAS UGHT THE MIDDLE, ACRDG TO A BOOK LLED BLOOD LI THE VATIN, WRTEN BY ANONYMO THORS WHO CLAIM TO BE PRITS AND SIRS WHO LIVE SI THE VATIN WALLS. THEY MATA THAT TORNAY WAS ATTACKED AND DRAGGED TO THE VATIN CELLAR, WHERE HE WAS “SUICID” BY MANDOS AND THEN LATER PLACED ESTERMANN’S APARTMENT AFTER THE REAL ASSAILANTS DID THEIR DIRTY WORK. THEY NCLU, “THE ELEMENT THAT UNRM THE OFFICIAL TTH IS THE FACT THAT NO ONE HEARD THE FIVE LOUD SHOTS FIRED BY THE POWERFUL PISTOL FOUND UNR CEDRIC TORNAY’S BODY.”TORNAY’S MOTHER BELIEV THE SEND THEORY MORE THAN THE FIRST, BUT KNOWS THE TTH ULD LIE SOMEWHERE THE MIDDLE.
