PIZZEY: (voice-over): “At a press conference this morning, this prosecutor said Ashley Olsen had two fractures to her skull and had been strangled. Also evidence of consensual sex before the murder. The suspected arrested is Tidiane Cheik Diaw, a Senegalese with no criminal record who worked distributing flyers for local nightclubs. Witnesses saw the two enter the apartment together and they were both seen on surveillance cameras in the area. According to police, at some point, the suspect took Olsen’s phone and put his sim card in it and it was described by the landlady and Olsen’s body being in a state of disarray. Olsen spent most of Friday night in this night spot that has a history of problems over drug dealing and other public order offenses. Her father Walter, seen here laying flowers Tuesday outside the apartment where she was murdered, said in a written statement, at the time, that he had confidence that the perprator of a horrible and senseless crime would be found and sentenced quickly. In the statement, Olsen described his daughter as a beautiful and creative young woman with a happy, exuberant and generous soul and adding we were heartbroken she was taken from us. Ashley Olsen had been living in Florence for about three years. And was described as well-known and popular in her neighborhood.
