On New Year’s celebration 2008, two teenagers Amina and Sarah were shot dead, their bloodied bodies left in a taxi cab. The alleged shooter is their father Yaser.
In fact, Sarah appears to identify her Dad as the murderer in a 9-11 call – her dying words. For more than two years the Fox News Reporting squad has been following this story and the investigate for Yaser, who vanished the night of the murders.
We learned this dark tale began long before the girls were born. Their mother Patricia married the Egyptian-born Said when she was only 15 years old. She says her husband violently abused her during their 20-year marriage.
Over the route of our investigation, Fox News’ Gregg Jarrett made several trips to Texas, taping hours of interviews with investigators, relatives and family friends.
We also obtained never-before-broadcast video of the girls that was secretly shot by their father. In light of what happened to Amina and Sarah, it’s extremely disturbing footage.
If Yaser Said killed his daughters, what was his motive? His American wife Tissy claims he did so because their girls were dating boys that weren’t Muslim.
While friends and family call the murders honor killings, it’s a label the FBI and local police have been hesitant to use.
In fact, 8 months after the deaths of Amina and Sarah the FBI added the words “honor killing” to their wanted poster but days later, removed them.
