“Help! My dad shot me.” Desperate pleas were some of the last words 17-year-old Sarah Said uttered in a New Year’s Day 911 call from the back of her father’s taxi outside Dallas, Texas.
Desperate pleas were some of the last words 17-year-old Sarah Said uttered in a New Year’s Day 911 call from the back of her father’s taxi outside Dallas, Texas.
Minutes later, a passerby discovered Sarah and Amina’s bullet-riddled bodies outside a Dallas-area hotel and also called authorities for help. But Said was nowhere to be found. It would take authorities over a decade to find a man who landed on the FBI’s Most Wanted List and was hiding about 40 minutes away from the crime scene in Justin, Texas.
“This is a case about a man obsessed with possession and control,” prosecutor Lauren Black said during opening statements on Tuesday. “He controlled what they did, who they talked to, who they could be friends with, if they—and who they—could date. And he controlled everything in his household.” Two weeks before lamming it, the Said daughters and their boyfriends—Edgar Ruiz and Erik Panameno—began to organize the escape plan.Ruiz told jurors on Tuesday that Amina had originally planned to flee alone, but that he suggested to his girlfriend that she should take Sarah and her mother, Patricia Owens, to protect one another.
Prosecutors said that on Christmas Day, the group went to Oklahoma, where Owens had family. The next day, Said reported them missing to the Lewisville Police Department—forcing the mother to call an officer to insist she was “alive and well” but was fearful of her husband.
