NEWS UPDATE: Boyfriend of missing woman becomes ‘person of interest’

By: Vic Monaco
   TRENTON — Rosario "Roy" Digirolamo flew to Italy five days after his baby son was abandoned in Delaware and one week after the mother of the child was last seen locally.
   The married Millstone man became the proverbial "person of interest" this week as law enforcement officials, now including the FBI, continued to wonder about the whereabouts of his girlfriend and the boy’s mother, Amy Giordano of Hightstown.
   And despite a wide-ranging press conference held Wednesday in Trenton by Mercer County Prosecutor Joseph Bocchini Jr., several other questions remain — including why area law enforcement officials had not yet searched Mr. Digirolamo’s home nor talked to Italian authorities.
   The prosecutor’s new news Wednesday was twofold:
   — the FBI had become involved in the case in the last 24 hours because of the "multi-state and international nature" the case had taken on; and
   — New York City police on Wednesday evening found the car Mr. Digirolamo was reported to have been driving, his wife’s 1998 Lexus, in Staten Island.
   Mr. Bocchini said the car revealed no obvious signs of foul play but it would be searched after a warrant is issued.
   He acknowledged that Mr. Digirolamo’s home on Stevenson Avenue had not been searched.
   "At this point, we don’t have a crime," he gave as a reason.
