Open lead

On the sole of the foot of the body found in Fiesole along the railway on 11 September 2000, a name was written that matches a person reported missing a few days earlier, on 5 September 2000, while travelling from Albania to England through Italy. No source consulted explicitly links the two events, and later press coverage of that disappearance also reports alleged sightings of the person still alive in subsequent years. Whether the written name actually corresponds to the identity of the body found in Fiesole remains to be clarified.

Notes on this record

What emerges when the official register data are compared with press sources.

On the sole of the foot is a name matching that of an Albanian citizen who went missing on 5 September 2000 during a journey from Albania to England: no source explicitly links the two events, and some public accounts of his disappearance continue up to 2008, so the match remains a lead to be verified.
