Italian police now say they have detained a 40-year-old homeless man from Rome in the death of a 19-year-old college student from Wisconsin. Police said the man was “seriously implicated” in the alleged murder. Beau Solomon’s body was pulled from Rome’s Tiber River on Monday. Solomon---from Spring Green---went missing early Friday morning after going out with some friends at a pub shortly after he arrived for an exchange program at John Cabot University in Rome. His brother---Cole Solomon---told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that his brother’s body was found with a head wound and blood on his shirt---and---that thousands of dollars had been charged in his credit card. Beau Solomon had just finished his first year at UW-Madison.
