Amsterdam is big pool of foreigners, not many from Middle East though. There is big presence of Turkish and Maroccan descendants too who could be mistaken for Middle Eastern, however I don't think this is case in here.
I have came accross this case few times over the years and I can't shake feeling that he might be the guy I met there briefly sometimes between 95-97. Resemblance is striking.
I don't remember much unfortunately. But he was older then me. I think he could be between 20-30 then even though post mortem looks like he might be older than that. Guy had also tattoos on arm/s as I remember we have discussed them but can't recall what they were
. I do remember though that he was Italian.
But again, it might not be him..
