Mr. Maull,
I received a response from the U.S. Embassy today when I got in. Here is what they stated:
“Dear Lexie Herbert:
We are responding to your email of March 18 regarding the sad case of Mr. Robert Maull and his unfortunate assault and hospitalization in Cusco, Peru on February 28.
Our records indicate that at the time of the incident, Robert Maul was residing in Cusco with his Peruvian mother, who we understand continues to assist him. As soon as we were notified about his hospitalization, our Consular Agent in Cuzco visited Mr. Maull at the Clinica Pardo to provide information and guidance to the family. Our Regional Security Office also contacted the local police to obtain information on the incident.
It is our understanding that Mr. Maull has retained legal representation and plans to press charges once the culprits are identified. Our Chief of American Citizen Services here in Lima had already called the parties listed in your email to ensure that they were taking the appropriate steps to identify his assailants and file charges. In conversations with the police officials, she clearly expressed the U.S. government’s interest in this case.
We understand how difficult this incident is for Mr. Maull and his family. Please be assured that the Embassy is monitoring this case closely.
We hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Consul General and Counselor for Consular Affairs
U.S. Embassy
Lima, Peru”
I hope this provides some reassurance that they are indeed looking into your case. If I can be of further assistance or answer any questions you may have, please let me know.
Thank you,
Lexie Herbert

Supporting Robert Maull's Recovery
Our son, Robert Maull, was the victim of a brutal assault on February 28, 2008 in Cusco, Peru. Robert remained in a coma for the first six days. He is now able to talk and has all physical movement, but remains sedated in the ICU unit for his own protection, because his brain function is still very confused and he doesn't know where he is or why he needs to remain in the ICU and in bed. Robert suffered severe head injuries including two skull fractures, two brain contusions, a subdural hematoma, brain edema, and defuse brain lesions.
Robert's medical expenses alone (not including legal bills and his father's travel expenses) have already reached $15,000 (as of March 12th) and are continuing at a rate of about $350 - $500 per day. We do not know how much longer Robert will need to remain in the ICU or the hospital, but it could be several months.
We have set up this website for Robert's family and friends who would like to contribute a Medical Fund for Robert's care, follow Robert's progress and enjoy Robert's art. We sincerely appreciate all the concern, support, prayers and strong intention for Robert's recovery expressed by so many of you already.
If you would like to donate to Robert's Medical Fund, you can use the Chip-In feature at right which involves a PayPal transaction. This will not be a tax deductible donation.
If you would like to make a tax deductible donation, please email me at: fleetmaull@comcast.net and I will send you the information on how to make a donation to a Community Foundation that will accept donations on Robert's behalf.
With love and appreciation,
Fleet Maull and Lola Solis de Maull (Robert's Parents)
