Yaser Said's Taxi Murders

In 2008, Yaser Abdel Said murdered his two daughters, Amina and Sarah, in his taxi cab in Texas because he believed they had become too westernized and were dating. After the killings, Said went on the run and was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. He evaded capture for 12 years, with the help of his son and brother, who hid him in a house in Texas and provided for his needs. Said was finally apprehended in 2020, bringing an end to a long and notorious manhunt.
