Madeline Samaan Fay Autopsy

Autopsy results for Madeline Samaan Fay, two-year old toddler abducted by her father, Mourad Samaan, gives mixed cause of death as two gunshot wounds to her head and carbon monoxide poisoning.

What causes a man described as a “loving father” to become an executioner?  Rage? Revenge? Retaliation? We’ll never know. All we know is that he killed his innocent daughter near Grizzly Flats, California after her mother received full custody.

Madeline Samaan Fay and father found dead in 4Runner

Madeline Samaan Fay, a two-year old, and her father who abducted her were found dead as I knew they would be. Chalk it up to instinct from following Amber Alerts or from reading too many mystery novels. No matter how I knew, the results are the same. The FBI hasn’t released the cause of death, but common sense says this was a murder-suicide event.

Someday I’ll write about the dark side of this crime. For now, it’s better to go on with life and hope we don’t see a copycat performance by others struggling with custody battles.

AMBER ALERT for Madeline Samaan-Fay

I can’t shake the thought that I’ve seen this abductor—the shaved clean-cut version—walking alone through an East Bay Wal-Mart parking lot several weeks ago. I hope I’m mistaken.

Click the link below to see his picture. Maybe you’ve seen Madline or her father, Mourad "Moni" Samaan or his green Toyota 4Runner, California license plate No. 3XRM111.

No details, but good news! ABC KGO reports that Meloshi Mehta, 15-year old girl missing from Fremont, is home safe.

Next step: When will California become the leader in adding endangered runaways to the highway alert system?

Missing Fremont Teen-Where’s the Amber Alert?

Miloshi Mehta, 15-year old Mission San Jose high school junior went missing on Sunday, August 7, 2011. She was last seen about 8:30 p.m. when she went for a walk around Lake Elizabeth.
 

Miloshi’s family said they suspected she may have walked away to meet a man whom she had corresponded with on the internet. If they had lied, feigned ignorance, or shrugged their shoulders to questions about circumstances surrounding her absence, hinting that she could have been abducted while walking, perhaps an Amber Alert would be flashing on nearby freeway signs. You might be scanning faces of every dark-haired, black eyed teen on the BART, looking for Miloshi, worrying, maybe praying that she would be found unharmed. Since her family told the truth—that she could have been lured away by an internet sexual predator—Amber Alert does not apply.

I hope she’s found unharmed. If not, will a California lawmaker propose a Miloshi Alert to assist in locating teens lured away by internet sexual predators?

False Amber Alert kidnapped teen from Antioch, California

Did you notice that I didn’t post this Amber Alert as I have others? Why? Because my sleuthing skills whirled a clue in front of my eyes that the fictional crime-solving Jessica Fletcher would have noticed immediately.

“The robber [Eric Lerone Walker] ordered him [16-year old] at gunpoint to drive the Yukon, police and Holmes said.” You say, so what? Lots of 16-year olds drive. Here’s a second look. Robber takes car keys from barbershop owner, then points sawed-off shotgun at a young man entering the shop and demands the youth drive the owner’s 1996 Yukon as a get-away vehicle. Duh? The Jessica Fletcher question: How did the robber know the young man he “abducted” could drive? As sure as 1+1=two, I knew Jessica Fletcher would spot this pair as friends who partnered this robbery.

I could have posted this blog within minutes of the Amber Alert, but then the police might suspect I knew something about the robbery instead of being an avid mystery fan. Even though I like to think I’m a super sleuth, this was a faked kidnapping so clear that even Jessica Fletcher’s nephew could have figured it out while she was off in Cabot Cove writing another mystery book.
