The investigations, conducted by the Carabinieri under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor's Office, allowed to reconstruct the accident that occurred in the late afternoon of that day, when the woman's lifeless body was found along the road, with wounds consistent with an investment by a vehicle.

Thanks to the description of the vehicle and the images from the cameras, the Carabinieri identified the van, found in a parking lot in Mirandola, hidden to conceal the damage. The Prosecutor's Office ordered its seizure and the owners, not finding it, reported the theft on January 20. From this report it emerged that the 41-year-old, who was using the van, had falsely declared an accident on January 17, but the images contradicted his version, showing the damage to the vehicle immediately after Vaccari was hit.

The hit-and-run driver, a 41-year-old already on probation for a conviction for spending counterfeit money and receiving stolen goods, was arrested by the Carabinieri of Modena, under the coordination of the Public Prosecutor's Office, with a custodial order for road homicide aggravated by escape.
