    Found Deceased Italy - John Durkin, 21, Rome, 19 February 2014

    Here's a quote from that article linked in Hap's post from a former DEA/DOJ Agent in Italy that is truly frightening: “If you go to the U.S. Embassy in Rome on any given day, you’ll see probably half a dozen to a dozen students all lined up because they’ve got lost passports...

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    http://www.ilmessaggero.it/roma/cronaca/roma_uccisione_beau_accusa_lieve_galioto-1876961.html It seems they are reducing the charge to manslaughter, which seems quite odd considering he is under investigation for 3 deaths now......

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    I completely agree with that. I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong at all. I have just been irritated with comments in some of the articles I have read like "Statistically, Italy has a very low crime rate compared to the US.........etc". There's no way to know for sure what the actual...

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    In most of the comments sections of any article about Beau (or any of the students/tourists who have died in Italy in the past couple years), you'll find a back-and-forth about the crime rate in the United States vs Italy, Spain, France, etc. While the general statistics may prove this point...

    Found Deceased Italy - US Airman Halex Hale, 24, Aviano, 2 July 2016

    This young man went missing the night after Beau Solomon was killed in Rome..... Beau's credit cards were used in Milan on July 1st, and Hale went missing on the night of July 2nd about 200 miles NE of there..... Time for Italy to address the gangs targeting Americans over there.....

    http://www.stripes.com/news/missing-aviano-airman-may-have-drowned-police-say-1.418506 It's a stretch, but this guy went missing about 2 hours NE of Milan the night after Beau was killed. Likely found today..... "Hale’s father said that he’d been told his son planned a 15-minute...

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    Excellent article Hap.... I wonder if the toxicology reports were ever made public from the Andrew Mogni case...... or if his parents ever confirmed that GHB was present in his system... It would not surprise me to see GHB in Beau's toxicology reports... and I hope they immediately make the...

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    Unfortunately, having known Beau and the type of person he was....... it may very well have been his compassion and willingness to help others that got him killed. It's possible that he chased the 2 men who robbed him, but I find it highly unlikely that he chased them for nearly 1/2 a mile from...

    This article claims there is a video of Beau speaking "at length" with 2 North Africans in front of G bar before following them to the bridge... http://roma.corriere.it/notizie/cronaca/16_luglio_07/beau-nuoto-non-finire-rapide-cff331f8-4477-11e6-a4dc-8aa8f57c2afd.shtml

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    Good points all around... I spoke at length to Beau's best friend today for the first time since last weekend. A couple observations from our conversation.... *He stated that he could not imagine Beau following anyone out of the bar and leaving his roommate at the bar alone. *He confirmed that...

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    That struck me as odd right away. It's almost 1/2 a mile from G Bar to the bridge. He has no reason to follow them unless he has already been robbed, yet she is claiming the robbery took place after he "accompanied them down the stairs". If he was "staggering or stumbling drunk" as she claims...

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    So......in searching for the location that Andrew Mogni fell, I found this short article about an unnamed 22 year old German who fell to his death on June 4th, 2015... just a few months after Andrew Mogni. This location is only steps from where Beau was killed and is apparently exactly where...

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    It looks like he indeed has experience. I hadn't noticed this before in the Daily Mail article: "(Galioto), A former soldier who served in Somalia, he was raised on the outskirts of the city in a good family. They then moved to a big villa on the Via Appia. Following his military service, he...

    This quote from Galioto's lawyer: "Solomon tried to swim back a couple of times but he disappeared into the water quickly," Vincelli said, adding that this part of the Tiber is full of rapids and rocks." Here is the route he was alleged to have taken "chasing the North African robbers" to end...

    I'm very happy to have found this forum. Hopefully I can contribute in some small way going forward! That being said, this particular case is somewhat personal to me as I had gotten to know this young man over the past months. Here are a few observations: 1.) According to his closest friends...

    Italy - Beau Solomon, 19, UW student, Rome, 30 June 2016 *Arrest*

    How is it that a shirt ends up "blood-stained" while submerged in water? If indeed he sustained a large head wound after a fall into the river, it seems highly unlikely his shirt would be full of blood. This whole thing reeks of similarities the Andrew Mogni case....... and even the Durkin case...
