After 40 days of dead ends, a strange $2,000 septic-tank pumping invoice at 4 A.M. from Tommaso Cioni’s house raises suspicion

And the service itself was unusually expensive: $2,000 for an emergency septic tank extraction.

Detectives noted that septic pumping services are typically scheduled during daytime hours and rarely require emergency overnight visits unless there is a serious plumbing failure.

But according to the company records, the request had been marked “urgent.”

Investigators contacted the service provider to verify the details. Workers who responded to the call reportedly told detectives that they had been asked to pump and empty the septic tank completely.
