American student Amanda Knox flew home free on Tuesday after spending four years in an Italian jail, leaving the family of murdered British student Meredith Kercher racked with anguish that they are no closer to the truth about her killing.
Knox, cleared of the murder by an appeals court on Monday night, left Rome shortly before midday for London where she and her family were boarding a connecting flight to their home in Seattle, airport officials said.
The 24-year-old broke down sobbing and nearly collapsed with emotion on Monday night after an appeals court in Perugia ruled she and her former boyfriend, Italian computer student Raffaele Sollecito, were not guilty of killing Kercher and should be freed immediately.
Prosecutors said on Tuesday they would appeal against the ruling and Kercher's disappointed family said their ordeal and the search for answers about the brutal murder would go on.
"We're still absorbing it. You think you've come to a decision and now it's been overturned," Meredith's mother Arline told reporters at a news conference.

The best justice daddy’s money can buy.
And what was the role of the State Dept. and the White House in this matter, inquiring minds want to know?
It does seem as if to some the girl is guilty of not being home to have been the 2nd victim.
“old-world aristocrats” ?.....
You are obviously a genious and your “new-world” with no values ,no good, no bad, no truth and no wrong...will soon make you regret and understand somethings...
But it will be maybe too late.
Keep being brainwashed by your medias and their big owners. You will be a perfect tool.
What kind of “envy” are you speaking about.
The envy of little american whores and their pathetic lives.
The bad luck for her roommate savagely murdered is to have been with A.Knox apparently.
Your so-called “new-world” is a world of mediocrity and soon of barbaria. You should better watch out.
Her family is flat broke.
Your point? There is a man in jail who confessed to it.
Please, never serve on a jury.
The flat broke I’ve known can’t afford a trip to the next county, much less to sunny Italy!
Yeah, but lets not let that get in the way of reacting on emotion. Its better to be mad that someone accused of a crime is set free than it is to believe the murderer’s own words.
Hey, frog. You’re sounding like typical Eurotrash.
Thank you for posting this. FINALLY, a Freeper posts the truth. This information has been available for some years now - but people don’t bother to either: Do research on the subject at hand before opining, or just STFU.
So many Freepers, on this subject, in the last 2 days have been very disappointing. More like a DU thread.
They're flat broke NOW, after spending every cent they had. Even the grandmother gave them $250,000 which at age 72 was all she had.
So we should keep her locked up because she “may have a link?” Sounds like good ol European justice to me, forcing them to prove innocence. What exactly did her way of life make easy?
And who said she was a hero?
Pretty sure her grandmother cashed out her savings and her parents mortgaged their house.
But more to the point, when did we start resorting to class warfare?
Excellent points. And the alleged FReepers who pulled the class warfare card and the “slut” card made me want to puke.
I think you believe a great many things that simply are not so.
Ann has gone off the reservation on several things recently. She’s been sounding like Bette Midler lately.
He’s French, they just use the guillotine.
That does not add up per the story, the dead girl had hair in her hand that did not come from him, it was either planted are another person was there. And who cleaned up the apartment.
“American student Amanda Knox flew home free on Tuesday after spending four years in an Italian jail, leaving the family of murdered British student Meredith Kercher racked with anguish that they are no closer to the truth about her killing.”
Uh, her killer’s in jail. Granted, it’s only for a paltry 16 years but that’s the truth of things.
