Re:For Thomas, with a little help from my friends 15 Years, 10 Months ago
Perhaps Thomas's sister can help with some of these questions?
I also wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has gone out of their way to help out with all of this. I'm really proud of everyone here at this board.
Re:For Thomas, with a little help from my friends 15 Years, 10 Months ago
I did not meet Thomas in Italy, but a few days before in Vienna. I have known him since 1993 and whenever he was on tour, he either slept in his car or spent the night at youth hostels. So the police should check all youth hostels in the surrounding area.
Furthermore have the police already contacted Thomas' neighbour in his hometown of Halle? His name is Mr. Sauckel. He was mentioned in German press reports about Thomas. Maybe he can provide additional information. He lives at the same address as Thomas. Thomas had asked him to look after his apartment while he was on the road.
One fact that has not been mentioned before is that Thomas was a member of the German political party CDU (the Christian Democrats). Presumably he was a member of the Halle chapter of the party. Maybe the police should contact them for further information.
Re:For Thomas, with a little help from my friends 15 Years, 10 Months ago
All the informations that we could gather have been sent to the police. If you know something else or if you have seen Thomas in his last days, please tell.
A mail has been sent to his boss, asking for help.
We just have to wait. It seems that now, we are on a good way.
Re:For Thomas, with a little help from my friends 15 Years, 10 Months ago
yes,,, it looks very good by now.
I'm sorry I can't provide any more info's on Thomas, haven't seen him anymore
but I have my fingers crossed every evening..

Despite all the efforts that have been made by everybody in each possible direction, there's no way for Sabine to bring Thomas' body back in Germany. So he will be burried in Italy. There's no other way for her.
The donations have brough 2106 EUR so far, that will help her to pay the bills that she received due to Thomas' death.
The donations will be closed at the end of the week.
We will try to get as many informations as possible from the italian police.

Thanks so much for all you and others have done, Cath. This is a remarkable statement about the kind of people who call themselves Dylan fans. The talk about the "Dylan community" is more than just talk, isn't it?
Re:For Thomas, with a little help from my friends 15 Years, 10 Months ago
Yes, sure it is.
The list would be too long of people who cared, who sent mails and phone calls, who went to ambassies or consulates, who gave ideas, and who sent money.
Marcus and Mark are dayly in contact with Sabine, Michele is in contact with the italian police.
It was (and still is) a collective effort.
