Liam Biran, 32, of Marlboro, New Jersey, was last seen by family at JFK Airport in Queens on May 8, 2019, while beginning a solo trip to visit family in Israel and tour wine regions in Italy and France. He kept in touch by email and text through much of the trip; his blog’s last entry is dated April 24, 2019, from Israel. The last confirmed activity was a May 9, 2019 credit card purchase for a train ticket from Turin to the Aosta Valley.

Biran stayed in multiple hostels and traveled with other backpackers. He was scheduled to return to the United States from Paris on May 16, 2019 but never boarded that flight. His personal belongings were later found in a remote area of the Aosta Valley and searches were undertaken. The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and the FBI have been involved and the FBI has appealed for information.

What did anyone in the Aosta Valley or along the Turin–Aosta route see or hear about a solo traveler matching Liam’s description in May 2019?
