Specialized divers have resumed search operations in the Furlo reservoir and the Candigliano River to locate Riccardo Branchini, a 19-year-old who disappeared in October 2024. The search, commissioned by the family, focuses on the area where Branchini’s vehicle was previously found containing his personal belongings.

While previous sonar efforts failed to locate him, the family has requested the dam be emptied of sediment to aid the search, though environmental and fish protection concerns have complicated such requests. Meanwhile, the Pesaro Prosecutor's Office had previously sought to dismiss an investigation into potential incitement to suicide.
