The body of a young woman was
found in the Tor Sapienza area of Rome early Friday and is
thought to be that of a 20-year-old Chinese student Zhang Yao,
who disappeared in the area Monday. The body was in a bush and,
according to initial information, may have been knocked there by
a passing train. Zhang came to Rome to frequent the Fine Arts
Academy (Accademia dele Belle Arti) and went missing after going
to Rome's immigration office to get her student's residency
permit. Initially police suspected a kidnapping for ransom.
