About Linda Agostini
On 1 September 1934, the badly burned body of a woman with a bullet through the neck was found in a culvert running under Howlong Road in Albury, New South Wales, Australia. The woman became known as the Pyjama Girl. The body remained unidentified for a decade until an Italian-Australian man, Tony Agostini, confessed to killing his wife, Florence Linda Agostini, who had been missing since late August 1934. Police said they had matched the dental records from the body with Linda Agostini's, though she had been ruled out as the victim in the initial investigation. Tony Agostini was arrested and charged with murder. He was then brought to trial and convicted of the lesser offence of manslaughter, and was sentenced to 6 years in prison. He was paroled after 3 years and 1 month and was deported to Italy. In 2013, historian Richard Evans published a book that concluded police decided to identify Agostini in order to close the case to avoid embarrassment, and that the body could not have actualy been hers. Among many other discrepancies, their eye colours did not match. This means the body buried as "Linda Agostini" is in fact an entirely different person - the Pyjama Girl - who remains unidentified.
