Overview

  • Greek authorities detained the unnamed American suspect Friday on Skiathos under a European arrest warrant issued by Italy.
  • Police recovered the body of a 30-year-old American woman under a black bag in Rome’s Villa Pamphili park after determining she died several days before the infant.
  • Investigators theorize the suspect returned to the park to kill the infant, whose body was discovered several hundred meters away in undergrowth.
  • Fingerprint evidence on the covering bag and a tent scrap from a Vatican-area shelter, combined with mobile phone tracking, linked the suspect to the crime.
  • He is set to appear before a Greek judge next week for an extradition hearing and retains the right to contest his transfer to Italy.
