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 a 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. Join us as we discuss a heartbreaking case that should never have happened.

There is tying them different saying I well I'm not going back with him, so at this point
Patricia has told several family members that she's coming back to Texas, but she's told them all different stories.
Not elaborating on her whole plan, so its December thirtieth, two thousand and seven that they returned to Texas and Eric whose Sarah's boyfriend. So
that a minor never knew that there were going back only Sarah New and agreed to, but when they did get back.
She told the girls the real reason, which was I'm getting back together with Yasser,
and of course you can just imagine a Mina and Sarah are saying
we're not going back to his house. We want to stay somewhere else, so I mean
and Sarah would call Conny and say why did you let this happen
you knew about this entire plan.
Connie said no, I didn't

Patricia was telling people different stories or not telling them.
