Police let one get away

The longer the case of missing Hightstown mom Amy Giordano goes unsolved, the more outrageous it seems that police allowed her boyfriend (now charged in absentia with abandoning their 11-month child in a Delaware parking lot) to take off for Italy.

Now police are testing traces of blood found in Giordano's apartment and asking authorities in Italy to help find Rosario DiGirolamo. He is facing the abandonment charge in Delaware, but more importantly, they want to talk to him about what he knows about the whereabouts of his girlfriend.

Gee, you think that might have been a good conversation to have before the guy left the country? If he did anything more serious than leaving that poor child, do you seriously think he is EVER coming back?

Something seemed screwy about this case from the beginning. But the cops were extremely slow to see it.

Good, old-fashioned newspaper and TV reporting, rather than good, old-fashioned police work, uncovered the missing mom, DiGirolamo and the child on a grocery store surveillance tape hours before her disapperance, and uncovered the fact that DiGirolamo lives in a very nice house that used to belong to a high-ranking New Jersey mobster.

How about getting some eyebrows raisied over just the fact that he was living in that house, and paying Giordano's $850-a-month rent in Hightstown, on the $56,000 salary of a computer programmer?

We're not sure what resources and amount of focus the police are giving this case now. But we would like to say as strongly as possible ... Amy Giordano and her family deserve 110 percent of their attention.
