This Week on True Crime Daily The Podcast: After killing his daughters and evading authorities for 12 years, Yaser Said was convicted and given life in prison for capital murder. Plus, a wife allegedly caught on camera poisoning her husband with drain cleaner. Nancy Grace joins host Ana Garcia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
*Trigger Warning: This episode contains explicit language and topics/discussions involving alleged sexual abuse which may be disturbing. Listener discretion is advised*No one could have imagined the true tyranny that was happening inside the Said household in Bedford, Texas. It was a horror that sisters Sarah and Amina would experience for years which included alleged abuse and control by their father Yaser, who was determined to marry the girls off to rich strangers back in his home country. When the girls decided to run away from home with their mother in December 2007, a series of events would unravel leading to the devastating murders of the young girls at the hands of the man who should have been their protector. This is the story of a culture clash within one family's household, the man responsible for the murders who became a fugitive for over a decade- even being listed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list- and the pursuit of justice for the sisters whose tragic deaths made international headlines.FIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: @crimefamilypodcastTwitter: @crimefamilypod1Facebook: Crime Family PodcastEmail: crimefamilypodcast@gmail.comEPISODE RESOURCES:'The Price of Honor' Documentary:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EUfxrtFGzA&t=25s'Crime Watch Daily' Episode:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsPb5fWY_Q4&t=1156sCBS Interview with Patricia Owens (2021)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbq-J2ZOF0wUnited States Department of Justice Press Release:https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndtx/pr/yaser-said-family-members-charged-concealing-10-most-wanted-suspect-arrestUnited States Department of Justice Press Release (Islam Said Sentencing):https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndtx/pr/islam-said-sentenced-10-years-concealing-10-most-wanted-suspect-arrest
Hey everyone, in this episode, we are talking about Sarah and Amina Said, 2 sisters who many believe were killed by their father in a "honor killing" because they were in relationships with American boys when he wanted them to be in an arranged marriage with someone from Egypt who was Muslim and that he picked out. However, after one of the girls called 911 and reported that their father was the one who was pulling the trigger, Yaser Said went on the run and was listed on the FBI's most wanted list for many years. He was caught just in the last year & is facing charges for his daughters' deaths.

January 1st, 2008. Irving, Texas. Sarah and Amina Said were two normal, happy teenage girls trying their best to live a regular life. Unfortunately, they lived with an angry, abusive father, a mother too afraid to protect her children, and a brother who provided support to their father. On January 1st, 2008 Yaser Said murdered his two daughters, abandoning their bodies in his taxi and going into hiding. In an image that is now a representative for this case, just a few days before her death, Amina posted an picture of herself online with the caption, “I don’t want to become a memory.” Amina and Sarah knew how dangerous their situation was, but they had no one to protect them.

Yaser Said moved to America from Egypt in 1983 and shortly after, at the age of 30, married 15 year old Patricia Owens. By the time she was 18, the couple had three children under the age of five, and severely struggled to make ends meet. Yaser was a controlling and abusive husband and father, particularly focusing his attention on his beautiful daughters, who he saw as a way to secure financial success once they were old enough to marry off to wealthy "suitors" back in Egypt. When they rebelled against this abuse, an already mentally troubled Yaser completely lost it, and the end result was the tragic and brutal murder of the two bright young women who were unfortunate enough to be born into this unstable family.

A father placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list after allegedly shooting his two daughters to death in an “honor killing” was arrested after being on the lam for 12 years. Plus, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s son is facing almost 10 years in prison for stabbing a neighbor over a trash can dispute. Criminal defense attorney Danielle Iredale joins us.

On January 1, 2008, Sarah and Amina Said were fatally shot by their father, Yaser Said. He allegedly committed this crime against his own children as an "honor killing." Yaser Said did not approve of the way his daughters were growing up in the world and took it upon himself to decide whether they lived or died. He then went on the run for 12 years and was on the FBI "Most Wanted" list until August 26, 2020 when he was taken into custody. Now, this piece of shit can face justice in a court of law.

This week on #TubtaNabadda, we look into how the government of Somalia, with support from and in coordination with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), is responding to the COVID-19 crisis as it affects disproportionately internally displaced people (IDPs). We interview Amina Said, Commissioner of National Commission for Refugees and IDPs (NCRI), about what is being done to prevent the spread of the virus in displaced communities, and how the agency works in coordination with international partners to support these communities. We also interview Guelnoudji Ndjekounkosse, UNHCR Somalia Senior Protection Officer, about the main protection concerns in relation to COVID-19 and forced displacement in Somalia, and his Organization’s support to the government-led response to the crisis. In the studio, your hosts are Ali Gutale and Fathi Mohamed Ahmed, joined by Fansan Band with a song on how good hygiene can prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The Price of Honor is a documentary film about the murders of Amina and Sarah Said, teenage sisters from Lewisville, Texas, who were killed in a premeditated “honor killing” in 2008. The film shows the lives of the sisters and the path to their eventual murders by their own father, Yaser Said, who fled the crime scene and remains on the FBI’s Most Wanted List. Director, and Executive Producer and activist, Xoel Pamos, and author, activist, producer, Amy Logan speak with the Voice of Leadership about honor killings and this powerful film. The film reveals new details and uncovers evidence about the case that has never before been made public, including a previous murder committed by Yaser, and the ultimate sacrifice of Amina Said, who had a secret plan to protect the love of her life. Her words, through emails, letters and diary entries, become the voice of the film and change much of what has heretofore been assumed about this case. Despite the tragedy, viewers will learn of an incredible love story that still has life after death. Friends, family members, experts and activists against “honor violence” emotionally guide viewers through the girls’ lives and deaths, in the process launching a movement to bring Yaser Said to justice. The Price of Honor discredits the prevailing theory that Yaser fled to his native Egypt after shooting his daughters, instead proposing that he is in hiding in the U.S. The film’s additional mission is to bring awareness to this international issue of honor violence, expose law enforcement’s mismanagement of the Said case, and raise the bar for how honor violence is handled by police in the U.S. henceforth.
- Jag skriver om varje händelse, om Al-Shabab och barnen som sprängs, berättar hon. När jag skriver så gråter jag. Och gråter jag kan andra också gråta. Amina Said, biolog vid Karolinska Institutet i Solna och poet, en av ca 45 000 tusen somalier som bor i Sverige, har nu två länder att dikta om. – Kanske ser du bara en främling, en flykting som har haft det jättesvårt. Men bland oss finns filosoferna, dramatikerna, författarna och inte minst poeterna, säger Abdibashir, poet och författare, sedan många år bosatt i Sverige. Somalias poesi ställer frågorna om gud, den bearbetar krigen och formulerar satiren. Den skärper politiska möten, finns för att lösa konflikter och för att visa var man står. Och så diktas det förstås om kärlek. Alltid. Somalia har sin Romeo och Julia och i diasporan, i Europa och USA, växer ny generation poeter fram. Du är en häst, som springer ensam Och han försöker tämja dig Jämför dig med en omöjlig motorväg Med ett brinnande hus... Warsan Shire Ett program av Helen Ardelius.
I veckans Människor och tro tittar vi närmare på den bakomliggande konflikten som gjort torkan i Somalia till en hungerkatastrof. Vad spelar religionen för roll? Journalisten Abdi Aynte som skriver en bok om al-Shabaab, Sally Healy på forskningsinstitutet Chatham House i London och Amina Said, svensksomalier som var med och tog initiativ till den somaliska regeringen. I Spanien har påvens besök föranlett våldsamma protester. Sveriges Radios Sydeuropakorrespondent Alice Petrén, reder ut begreppen. Dessutom handlar det om sufierna som blivit västs favoritriktning inom islam. Vi möter Andreas Hasslert från Trelleborg som lärt sig mycket genom att bara vara nära sin läromästare på Cypern. Natacha López träffar honom, Simon Stjernholm vid Lunds universitet och Shadi Barakat som utbildar sig till imam i Jemen och leder den enda sufi-ordern i södra Sverige. Utrikeskrönikan kommer från Washington. Inger Arenander begrundar kyrkan och papperslösa flyktingar. Dessutom om Tea party-rörelsen i USA som med glödande tro - även på dödsstraff - nu blir en allt viktigare spelare i politiken. Tea party-rörelsen har både likheter och skillnader när man jämför med den religiösa högern. Och nu snubblar republikanerna över varandra när de springer högerut för att möta Tea party-folkets krav. Sören Wibeck intervjuar Allan Lichtman som har skrivit en bok om vägen till Vita huset med titeln "13 nycklar till Vita huset" och professorn i statskunskap Daniel Dreisbach.
