Some interesting facts about Guede..
he moved to Italy when he was 6 years old, and was informally adopted ? by a wealthy local man...he went to good schools, played basketball
however, he fell into drugs, theivery...the family has pretty much disowned him?? calls him a liar,
by her own admission Know "knew" Guede...
and there is a local who has identifed her, Rafael and Guede "together" and claims that Amanda pulled a knife on him when they had a dispute about parking spaces the very day before the murder
~~~~~~~~
Interesting facts about Amanda and Rafael...only knew each other 2 weeks..
I personally think they might be one of those cases where 2 people find each other and bring out the worst in each other??
Amanda, from all accounts, and her own diary, myspace etc...was into drinking,drugs...and had been doing a lot more than studying in Italy...her diary said she had unprotected sex with 7 guys in the short time she was there and she was (oddly) thinking she might have HIV and wondering who gave it to her?? (*her own thoughts...not fact)
Rafael had a similar dark side...pics of him as a vampire, bloody "costume" pics...into "Halloween"....violent comic book fan
Both into Halloween (Meredith was killed Nov 1..day after?)
From all indications Amanda and Meredith did not get along...Amanda too "wild",
she was about to lose her job at the pub for her wild behavior, sexual advances to customers, and irresponsible
Amanda had written odd "story" about gang rape and killing a woman
~~~~~~~~~
My personal thought is that somehow 2 people into sex, drugs, drinking, violent sex, group sex hooked up with a deviant drug dealer friend and thought that it would be "fun" to set up a disliked roommate ...I think they sexually assaulted Meredith and at some point realized that she was going to have them all charged with rape and somehow they killed her as a group
her windpipe was crushed and her throat slit..so it may have been more than one person who attacked her
Amanda is the one who had the key to the apartment and was the roommate and I think she brought the 2 guys there, Meredith was the subject of their unwanted sexual advances, and it doesn't matter who made the fatal cut or ? they were all in it together
