00:03:21,379 GEBBIA: He earned a scholarship from his government. 48 00:03:21,379 --> 00:03:23,275 As part of that agreement, 49 00:03:23,275 --> 00:03:27,965 he signed a document saying that after Ammar had graduated, 50 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,793 he would go back to Iraq for at least two years 51 00:03:32,793 --> 00:03:34,344 to share his knowledge. 52 00:03:37,172 --> 00:03:42,034 I was the international student advisor for Ammar. 53 00:03:43,275 --> 00:03:47,482 Ammar really stood out, because he was open 54 00:03:47,551 --> 00:03:52,000 and talkative -- even though his English wasn't perfect, 55 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,965 he was eager to be successful in everything that he did. 56 00:04:02,482 --> 00:04:06,793 There was an individual in the Iraqi community. 57 00:04:06,793 --> 00:04:08,172 His name was Aman. 58 00:04:08,172 --> 00:04:13,517 He helped these new students from Iraq adjust to the U.S., 59 00:04:13,517 --> 00:04:16,793 meeting people, bringing them shopping, 60 00:04:16,862 --> 00:04:19,067 anything that these individuals need. 61 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,379 Aman had a large family, 62 00:04:24,379 --> 00:04:29,586 and one of his daughters was B'dour. 63 00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:36,172 Aman introduced Ammar and B'dour. 64 00:04:36,172 --> 00:04:38,689 AL-YASARI: Ammar described her in a very nice way. 65 00:04:38,689 --> 00:04:41,000 He said she's a pure person. 66 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,724 She's so kind. 67 00:04:42,724 --> 00:04:46,275 I thought Aman was trying to snatch up 68 00:04:46,275 --> 00:04:49,793 the best of the best for his daughter. 69 00:04:52,517 --> 00:04:56,275 NARRATOR: A month later, Ammar tells Zahraa that he and B'dour 70 00:04:56,275 --> 00:04:57,793 are getting engaged. 71 00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:01,068 Ammar's announcement that he was getting 72 00:05:01,137 --> 00:05:02,862 married came out of the blue. 73 00:05:04,379 --> 00:05:06,896 Ammar was the only one of his family 74 00:05:06,896 --> 00:05:08,172 who was in the United States. 75 00:05:08,172 --> 00:05:11,448 So everybody else was back in Iraq. 76 00:05:12,793 --> 00:05:16,482 It was a very hard and a big deal for my parents 77 00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:21,965 to miss that day, not being there to help and support Ammar. 78 00:05:23,413 --> 00:05:26,137 We felt like we are left out. 79 00:05:28,206 --> 00:05:30,896 We didn't have any role. 80 00:05:30,896 --> 00:05:33,275 Like, they just did everything so quick. 81 00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:39,379 It was very risky to marry an American for his scholarship. 82 00:05:39,448 --> 00:05:43,379 The whole purpose of these scholarships 83 00:05:43,448 --> 00:05:46,172 is to have high-achieving individuals 84 00:05:46,241 --> 00:05:47,862 come to the United States, 85 00:05:47,931 --> 00:05:51,000 learn from our education system, 86 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,793 and then return back home 87 00:05:53,793 --> 00:05:56,482 and make a difference in their communities. 88 00:05:56,551 --> 00:05:59,068 And that's what the government of Iraq 89 00:05:59,137 --> 00:06:02,689 was hoping for and was planning on. 90 00:06:02,689 --> 00:06:07,068 And if he did not return back home, 91 00:06:07,068 --> 00:06:09,896 he would have had to repay 92 00:06:09,896 --> 00:06:13,172 all of the tuition and all of the stipends, 93 00:06:13,241 --> 00:06:15,758 everything that his sponsor had given him. 94 00:06:17,103 --> 00:06:20,482 AL-YASARI: We have no idea about her family, 95 00:06:20,482 --> 00:06:21,965 about her background. 96 00:06:23,103 --> 00:06:24,896 He could lose everything -- he could lose 97 00:06:24,896 --> 00:06:29,000 his scholarship and everything he built before. 98 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,068 Then Ammar said, "What about if you talk to B'dour, 99 00:06:33,068 --> 00:06:37,344 get to know B'dour more, maybe you'll change your mind." 100 00:06:42,793 --> 00:06:45,482 My family met B'dour 101 00:06:45,551 --> 00:06:47,862 on Skype for the first time. 102 00:06:49,172 --> 00:06:53,172 I felt like Ammar made a wrong choice. 103 00:06:53,241 --> 00:06:55,896 B'dour was 18 years old. 104 00:06:55,896 --> 00:06:58,000 She was still at school. 105 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,344 Ammar was 26. 106 00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:04,000 His personality, his character, 107 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,068 everything was different. 108 00:07:11,896 --> 00:07:14,689 GEBBIA: B'dour and Ammar got married 109 00:07:14,689 --> 00:07:18,586 just a month after they got engaged. 110 00:07:18,655 --> 00:07:20,689 AL-YASARI: Me and my family were in Iraq, 111 00:07:20,689 --> 00:07:23,689 so that day was so hard for us. 112 00:07:23,758 --> 00:07:28,482 Ammar called my mom -- she was crying, and he told her, 113 00:07:28,482 --> 00:07:31,000 "Please don't worry about me." 114 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,137 She said, "I felt they took Ammar from me on that day." 115 00:07:41,103 --> 00:07:44,275 NARRATOR: In July 2010, the newly married couple 116 00:07:44,344 --> 00:07:46,965 fly to Iraq for Ammar's sister's wedding. 117 00:07:48,896 --> 00:07:50,482 Ammar's family throw a party 118 00:07:50,482 --> 00:07:54,344 to celebrate their first in-person meeting with B'dour. 119 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,172 AL-YASARI: My family tried their best 120 00:07:59,241 --> 00:08:00,689 to make everything ready, 121 00:08:00,758 --> 00:08:05,517 but she felt everything was not enough for her. 122 00:08:05,517 --> 00:08:08,482 I was getting ready for my wedding day, 123 00:08:08,482 --> 00:08:11,241 and she took all the attention to her. 124 00:08:12,103 --> 00:08:16,793 She was comparing herself with me on that day. 125 00:08:16,793 --> 00:08:20,379 She was complaining everything to Ammar. 126 00:08:20,379 --> 00:08:22,724 "Zahraa had this, and I don't have it. 127 00:08:22,724 --> 00:08:26,586 They decided to make this for Zahraa, but they forget me." 128 00:08:27,482 --> 00:08:32,482 B'dour was pushing Ammar hard against my family. 129 00:08:33,379 --> 00:08:36,172 But I was too late to tell Ammar, 130 00:08:36,172 --> 00:08:39,241 because she was pregnant. 131 00:08:47,275 --> 00:08:49,379 GEBBIA: Ammar's first child, 132 00:08:49,379 --> 00:08:53,896 a daughter, Abaya, was born on New Year's Eve 133 00:08:53,896 --> 00:08:57,551 2010, and he was very excited about that. 134 00:08:58,413 --> 00:09:03,172 Whenever Ammar talked about his little girl, 135 00:09:03,172 --> 00:09:05,482 he would just light up. 136 00:09:05,551 --> 00:09:08,000 You could tell that she had him 137 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,586 wrapped around her little finger. 138 00:09:11,724 --> 00:09:16,275 AL-YASARI: As a dad, he was loving, supportive. 139 00:09:16,344 --> 00:09:17,965 He was so understanding. 140 00:09:19,206 --> 00:09:21,724 GEBBIA: Ammar graduated with his master's degree 141 00:09:21,724 --> 00:09:23,758 in agricultural economics. 142 00:09:25,379 --> 00:09:27,655

proud of her. 151 00:09:55,241 --> 00:09:59,137 He was always encouraging her to be a success. 152 00:10:02,275 --> 00:10:04,655 We were so happy and proud of him. 153 00:10:06,896 --> 00:10:09,793 No one could expect the bad things to come. 154 00:10:26,310 --> 00:10:28,103 GEBBIA: December of 2012, 155 00:10:28,103 --> 00:10:32,034 they took a family trip to Washington, D.C. 156 00:10:33,000 -->

especially because 176 00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:53,655 we came from a different country. 177 00:11:56,206 --> 00:11:59,448 GEBBIA: B'dour started working in the same office that I did. 178 00:12:00,586

they had a relationship that didn't include B'dour. 200 00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:24,448 I think that made her kind of jealous. 201 00:13:27,689 --> 00:13:29,310 For some time, 202 00:13:29,310 --> 00:13:31,551 I stayed at Ammar's house. 203 00:13:32,896 --> 00:13:37,379 I found out B'dour has two faces. 204 00:13:37,448 --> 00:13:39,793 When Ammar was not there, 205 00:13:39,793 --> 00:13:42,689 she was so mean. 206 00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:46,000 When Ammar back at home, she was so helpful, 207 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,275 nice -- she was completely a different person. 208 00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:59,655 NARRATOR: But Ammar and B'dour seemed to be a tight couple. 209 00:14:00,862 --> 00:14:04,586 AL-YASARI: Ammar came to my house with B'dour and his kids. 210 00:14:04,586 --> 00:14:07,034 He told me B'dour is pregnant. 211 00:14:08,068 --> 00:14:11,655 He was so happy, and his kids were happy, too. 212 00:14:14,206 --> 00:14:16,758 GEBBIA: And then they were testing 213 00:14:16,827 --> 00:14:18,655 her hormone levels or something. 214 00:14:18,724 --> 00:14:22,448 Doctor said he was very concerned about her. 215 00:14:23,793 --> 00:14:27,172 And after two weeks, I receive a call 216 00:14:27,172 --> 00:14:31,655 from Ammar telling me B'dour lost her child. 217 00:14:34,862 --> 00:14:37,068 I was so worried about her. 218 00:14:39,206 --> 00:14:40,482 I went to see them. 219 00:14:44,689 --> 00:14:47,310 When I entered the room, he was holding her hand, 220 00:14:47,310 --> 00:14:52,379 telling her, "Please, be strong for your kids." 221 00:14:54,413 --> 00:14:57,586 NARRATOR: As the months go by, cracks start to appear 222 00:14:57,586 --> 00:15:00,000 in the couple's marriage. 223 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,689 AL-YASARI: Ammar started to come to my house a lot, 224 00:15:02,689 --> 00:15:08,275 like after work, and he seemed sad more than usual. 225 00:15:09,413 --> 00:15:11,931 I was worried about him. 226 00:15:17,068 --> 00:15:22,000 GEBBIA: Ammar learned of texts that B'dour had been sending, 227 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,379 complaining about Ammar and how insensitive he was 228 00:15:26,448 --> 00:15:32,172 and uncaring -- really just bashing him. 229 00:15:34,068 --> 00:15:38,000 He would never say a bad word about B'dour, 230 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000 and she was being incredibly disrespectful 231 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,551 and rude and lying about him. 232 00:15:48,275 --> 00:15:50,068 I can definitely see how that would 233 00:15:50,137 --> 00:15:52,655 have caused a rift in the marriage. 234 00:15:55,689 --> 00:16:00,172 B'dour started turning down my lunch invitations. 235 00:16:00,172 --> 00:16:01,758 I thought, you know, that's weird. 236 00:16:01,827 --> 00:16:05,275 She -- she's usually the one who's asking me to go to lunch. 237 00:16:07,310 --> 00:16:11,275 Then our mutual friends there 238 00:16:11,275 --> 00:16:13,862 told me that she was 239 00:16:13,862 --> 00:16:18,482 meeting a guy every day at lunch, 240 00:16:18,551 --> 00:16:22,379 and they would spend lunchtime chatting. 241 00:16:22,379 --> 00:16:24,379 And then later, they told me 242 00:16:24,379 --> 00:16:27,034 that they actually saw them kissing. 243 00:16:30,965 --> 00:16:35,586 I realized Ammar started losing a lot of weight. 244 00:16:35,586 --> 00:16:39,172 I did ask him, like, "What's wrong with you?" 245 00:16:39,241 --> 00:16:41,655 He said, "No, I'm fine," 246 00:16:41,724 --> 00:16:44,655 but I felt there is something wrong. 247 00:16:44,724 --> 00:16:46,275 Something made him sad. 248 00:16:47,482 --> 00:16:51,275 [phone ringing] 249 00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:53,379 Ammar called me. 250 00:16:53,448 --> 00:16:56,137 He started to talk about life and about the kids. 251 00:16:57,068 --> 00:17:01,758 He said he's worried about his kids. 252 00:17:01,827 --> 00:17:05,275 "If something bad happened to me, who will take care of them?" 253 00:17:06,689 --> 00:17:09,758 Like he knew something bad will happen to him. 254 00:17:20,137 --> 00:17:23,550 [phone ringing] 255 00:17:25,241 --> 00:17:28,241 [operator speaking] 256 00:17:28,241 --> 00:17:31,344 [B'dour speaking] 257

00:18:19,586 The caller identifies herself as B'dour Al-Yasari. 268 00:18:19,586 --> 00:18:21,896 The 911 operator was trying to get her 269 00:18:21,896 --> 00:18:23,965 to go check on the status of her husband, 270 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,310 and she kept saying she was too afraid to go in. 271 00:18:29,344 --> 00:18:31,758 When you respond to a call like this, 272 00:18:31,827 --> 00:18:34,137 you have to use extreme caution. 273 00:18:34,137 --> 00:18:37,137 Maybe there's someone in the house -- when the patrol 274 00:18:37,206 --> 00:18:38,551 officers arrived on scene, 275 00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:42,034 the only person located in the residence was Ammar. 276 00:18:42,034 --> 00:18:45,241 When myself and Sergeant Shattuck arrived on scene, 277 00:18:45,241 --> 00:18:48,862 we came around the corner to the edge of the kitchen. 278 00:18:48,931 --> 00:18:51,758 We could see Ammar's body down on the floor. 279 00:18:53,965 --> 00:18:56,551 He was lying on his back, face up, 280 00:18:56,620 --> 00:18:59,137 clearly surrounded by a big pool of blood. 281 00:19:00,448 --> 00:19:03,689 It appeared as if he was chopped up multiple times to 282 00:19:03,689 --> 00:19:06,551 his face, his neck, to his head area. 283 00:19:06,620 --> 00:19:09,344 SHATTUCK: It was 24 chop wounds 284 00:19:09,344 --> 00:19:11,758 to the head, neck, and face of Ammar. 285 00:19:11,827 --> 00:19:14,344 My first instinct was that it had been 286 00:19:14,344 --> 00:19:16,344 some type of a hatchet or an axe. 287 00:19:17,344 --> 00:19:19,965 Where Ammar was located in that hallway, 288 00:19:19,965 --> 00:19:21,241 it looked like he had taken 289 00:19:21,310 --> 00:19:24,206 off his shoes and immediately been ambushed. 290 00:19:27,689 --> 00:19:30,551 LO: On the 911 call, B'dour does talk about walking 291 00:19:30,620 --> 00:19:32,448 into the front door and finding 292 00:19:32,448 --> 00:19:34,137 the front door unlocked. 293 00:19:34,137 --> 00:19:38,586 We looked at the door jambs to see if they were damaged, 294 00:19:38,586 --> 00:19:40,206 and there was no signs of that. 295 00:19:41,137 --> 00:19:44,551 We did notice a lot of electronics still in the home -- 296 00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:47,965 his TV, computers, tablets. 297 00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:53,241 Ammar himself, on his person, his wallet was still on him. 298 00:19:53,310 --> 00:19:56,448 So we quickly ruled out this being some random act 299 00:19:56,448 --> 00:19:58,068 of a home invasion, of somebody 300 00:19:58,068 --> 00:20:00,862 trying to get a quick grab of some items or something. 301 00:20:02,275 --> 00:20:03,896 SHATTUCK: The house smelled like bleach, and it 302 00:20:03,896 --> 00:20:06,034 looked like there had been bleach poured on Ammar. 303 00:20:06,034 --> 00:20:08,482 You could see clear bleach pooling in, 304 00:20:08,482 --> 00:20:10,655 mixing in with the blood on the ground. 305 00:20:11,862 --> 00:20:13,448 To me, it tells me that someone is trying 306 00:20:13,448 --> 00:20:14,931 to cover up their tracks. 307 00:20:17,896 --> 00:20:20,448 When I arrived to Ammar's house, 308 00:20:20,517 --> 00:20:24,034 I saw the police cars, the ambulance, 309 00:20:25,068 --> 00:20:28,551 and they stopped me to go 310 00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:30,034 inside the house. 311 00:20:31,068 --> 00:20:35,793 I asked one of them about what happened to Ammar, 312 00:20:35,793 --> 00:20:38,586 but when he said, "He's passed away," 313 00:20:38,586 --> 00:20:42,103 I kept saying "No, that's not true." 314 00:20:43,241 --> 00:20:44,482 At that moment, 315 00:20:44,482 --> 00:20:49,482 I felt like there is a part of my heart, 316 00:20:49,482 --> 00:20:51,206 it's kind of just broken. 317 00:20:54,482 --> 00:20:57,689 We assigned deputies to do a neighborhood canvass 318 00:20:57,689 --> 00:21:00,103 and asked them if they saw anything suspicious. 319 00:21:02,344 --> 00:21:03,551 We got really lucky. 320 00:21:03,620 --> 00:21:05,482 The neighbors that lived directly across the street from 321 00:21:05,482 --> 00:21:07,241 the Al-Yasaris were coming home 322 00:21:07,241 --> 00:21:10,793 from a shopping trip, and they passed a subject walking 323 00:21:10,793 --> 00:21:12,586 towards the Al-Yasari home. 324 00:21:12,586 --> 00:21:14,241 They could just tell by the stature, 325 00:21:14,241 --> 00:21:17,034 the physical build of the person, that it was a male. 326 00:21:18,241 --> 00:21:20,137 When they pulled it into their driveway, 327 00:21:20,206 --> 00:21:23,137 they noticed the subject walk into the house. 328 00:21:23,137 --> 00:21:25,448 We knew whoever that was, is the person that 329 00:21:25,517 --> 00:21:26,655 we need to find. 330 00:21:27,862 --> 00:21:29,137 SHATTUCK: The only way that we can learn 331 00:21:29,137 --> 00:21:32,137 anything about Ammar is to talk to B'dour at that point. 332 00:21:33,689 --> 00:21:37,758 At 10:44 p.m., B'dour came into the office for questioning. 333 00:21:38,689

00:21:50,448 "What type of lifestyle did he live? 338 00:21:50,448 --> 00:21:53,310 Would there be anybody that would be upset with him?" 339 00:22:11,862 --> 00:22:15,137 LO: She tells me that he's pretty much a homebody, 340 00:22:15,137 --> 00:22:18,758 that he gets up, goes to work, very family-oriented. 341 00:22:18,827 --> 00:22:21,241 To have somebody come in and cause this type of 342 00:22:21,241 --> 00:22:23,137 damage to a person, made me think 343 00:22:23,206 --> 00:22:24,344 is there something more here that 344 00:22:24,344 --> 00:22:26,758 she's not being completely honest

00:25:29,551 who I should be looking at 394 00:25:29,551 --> 00:25:32,379 in regards to the murder of Ammar Al-Yasari. 395 00:25:32,379 --> 00:25:34,241 [distorted voice speaking] 396 00:25:50,689 --> 00:25:54,000 He explained that B'dour was living two lives. 397 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000 She was living her life at home with her family, 398 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,689 and then she was running around on the weekends, 399 00:25:59,689 --> 00:26:02,551 partying, and he advised that 400 00:26:02,551 --> 00:26:04,551 Jake and B'dour had been dating. 401 00:26:05,655 --> 00:26:08,758 The red flags were just skyrocketing now. 402 00:26:08,827 --> 00:26:09,931 We knew we were on track. 403 00:26:11,482 --> 00:26:14,655 LO: We started to focus on trying to figure out 404 00:26:14,655 --> 00:26:18,103 and identify who this Jacob or Jake individual was. 405 00:26:18,172 --> 00:26:20,241 And we believed that there would be evidence 406 00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:23,965 of who this individual might be on B'dour's phone. 407 00:26:23,965 --> 00:26:25,862 So after seizing that cellphone, 408 00:26:25,931 --> 00:26:29,000 I had to turn that phone over to Detective Cramer. 409 00:26:30,172 --> 00:26:32,172 When we downloaded the phone, 410 00:26:32,241 --> 00:26:36,103 that's when we located both of her Facebook accounts, 411 00:26:36,103 --> 00:26:38,482 one that she had for her family, 412 00:26:38,482 --> 00:26:40,758 then a separate account that she used for more 413 00:26:40,827 --> 00:26:43,344 for outside-the-marriage encounters. 414 00:26:44,896 --> 00:26:47,482 We had received a tip that it was a guy named Jake. 415 00:26:47,482 --> 00:26:51,068 And that's when we discovered the Jacob Ficher screenshot. 416 00:26:52,379 --> 00:26:55,448 And that was a Facebook profile from a missed audio 417 00:26:55,448 --> 00:26:58,000 Facebook call approximately two weeks ago. 418 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,551 Seeing that profile picture 419 00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:04,000 and that Facebook account is what gave us 420 00:27:04,068 --> 00:27:06,000 the opportunity to discover his residence. 421 00:27:08,482 --> 00:27:11,068 It was time to start conducting some surveillance. 422 00:27:13,103 --> 00:27:15,965 NARRATOR: Investigators stake out Jacob's apartment 423 00:27:15,965 --> 00:27:19,103 on the evening of February 6th, 2019. 424 00:27:21,758 --> 00:27:24,344 They spot a man inside the property, 425 00:27:25,689 --> 00:27:28,034 but he is not Jacob Ficher. 426 00:27:28,034 --> 00:27:31,344 He is Jacob's roommate, Levi Thomason. 427 00:27:32,758 --> 00:27:35,379 LO: Levi actually leaves the residence and starts 428 00:27:35,379 --> 00:27:39,000 walking down the street to a local bar. 429 00:27:44,655 --> 00:27:46,344 Detective Ward, when he walks in, 430 00:27:46,413 --> 00:27:51,448 he does see that Levi is interacting with an individual, 431 00:27:51,517 --> 00:27:54,344 and we later identify that individual as Jacob Ficher. 432 00:27:56,103 --> 00:27:57,379 WARD: So I ended up sitting about 433 00:27:57,379 --> 00:28:00,655 two barstools away from Jacob and Levi. 434 00:28:02,482 --> 00:28:04,103 Whatever conversation they were having, 435 00:28:04,103 --> 00:28:06,068 they wanted it to keep very quiet. 436 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,103 It appeared Levi was trying to console him. 437 00:28:13,172 --> 00:28:16,103 It was -- it was raising some red flags 438 00:28:16,103 --> 00:28:18,172 that we are definitely on to the right person. 439 00:28:19,689 --> 00:28:22,448 LO: Jacob was intoxicated, 440 00:28:22,517 --> 00:28:25,103 and they began to cause the disturbance. 441 00:28:25,103 --> 00:28:26,862 Jacob was subsequently arrested 442 00:28:26,862 --> 00:28:29,068 that evening for disorderly conduct. 443 00:28:38,034 --> 00:28:40,275 It worked out in our favor, because then we can 444 00:28:40,275 --> 00:28:43,862 now actually sit down and, uh, talk with Jacob. 445 00:28:43,862 --> 00:28:46,931 [Lo speaking] 446 00:28:52,586 --> 00:28:55,103 [Lo speaking] 447 00:28:56,103 --> 00:28:58,275 -Yeah. -Okay. 448 00:28:58,275 --> 00:29:00,931 [Lo speaking] 449 00:29:07,793 --> 00:29:10,172 I terminated that interview, and Jacob was 450 00:29:10,172 --> 00:29:12,344 brought down to the jail to be lodged. 451 00:29:14,034 --> 00:29:15,758 WARD: Detective Lo's interview with Jacob was 452 00:29:15,758 --> 00:29:19,068 going on simultaneously with me interviewing Levi. 453 00:29:20,172 --> 00:29:22,172 SHATTUCK: Levi was able to give us a lot 454 00:29:22,172 --> 00:29:25,965 of information into the relationship between 455 00:29:25,965 --> 00:29:27,241 B'dour and Jacob. 456 00:29:27,310 --> 00:29:29,517 [Ward speaking] 457 00:29:33,482 --> 00:29:37,448 [Thomason speaking] 458 00:29:37,517 --> 00:29:39,758 [Ward speaking] 459 00:29:39,758 --> 00:29:43,551 [Thomason speaking] 460 00:29:54,862 --> 00:29:56,965 WARD: That was a big piece of the puzzle, to be able to 461 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,862 establish that this wasn't just 462 00:29:58,862 --> 00:30:01,862 some fling that B'dour had with Jake. 463 00:30:01,862 --> 00:30:04,275 Levi confirmed that they had 464 00:30:04,275 --> 00:30:06,241 actually been dating for several months. 465 00:30:09,275 --> 00:30:12,344 NARRATOR: Police find messages on B'dour's phone 466 00:30:12,413 --> 00:30:15,448 that make clear B'dour and Jacob's relationship. 467 00:30:17,103 --> 00:30:19,448 CRAMER: They started dating in August, and it was hot 468 00:30:19,448 --> 00:30:21,862 and heavy, and then there was a break-up in October, 469 00:30:22,793 --> 00:30:26,034 and then she reached out to him in November, and then it 470 00:30:26,034 --> 00:30:28,275 seems that the seriousness of their relationship really took 471 00:30:28,275 --> 00:30:29,862 off from there. 472 00:30:29,862 --> 00:30:34,275 The Snapchat search warrant returned had a lot of 473 00:30:34,275 --> 00:30:38,000 still photos and videos of B'dour and Jacob together, 474 00:30:38,068 --> 00:30:41,241 which just solidified how intimate 475 00:30:41,310 --> 00:30:43,965 their relationship was. 476 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,758 We were able to determine that she had taken one 477 00:30:47,758 --> 00:30:51,034 of her two daughters and introduced the child 478 00:30:51,034 --> 00:30:52,620 to Jacob Ficher. 479 00:30:54,586 --> 00:30:56,965 And they began talking about Jacob 480 00:30:56,965 --> 00:31:00,068 and her running off to the West Coast. 481 00:31:01,655 --> 00:31:04,862 They began planning to rent a car 482 00:31:04,931 --> 00:31:07,344 and take the two kids to get away from 483 00:31:07,413 --> 00:31:10,241 her family and move in with his family out there. 484 00:31:12,103 --> 00:31:15,000 It was just a couple of weeks before the homicide occurred 485 00:31:15,068 --> 00:31:16,862 when she really started turning up 486 00:31:16,862 --> 00:31:18,862 the pressure on Jacob to help her out 487 00:31:18,931 --> 00:31:20,689 with this abusive relationship 488 00:31:20,689 --> 00:31:22,965 she was saying she was having. 489 00:31:22,965 --> 00:31:25,379 B'dour had painted a picture 490 00:31:25,379 --> 00:31:27,827 to Jacob of Ammar being a monster, 491 00:31:29,275 --> 00:31:32,758 controlling, terrible husband. 492 00:31:32,758 --> 00:31:36,758 It was obvious that that's what was fueling Jacob's fire 493 00:31:36,758 --> 00:31:38,586 to want to intervene. 494 00:31:38,586 --> 00:31:41,103 LO: The more we reviewed the messages, 495 00:31:41,103 --> 00:31:43,862 he became a more viable suspect 496 00:31:43,931 --> 00:31:45,827 as to the person who killed Ammar. 497 00:31:51,758 --> 00:31:55,103 We executed a search warrant at Jacob and Levi's residence. 498 00:31:56,275 --> 00:31:57,172 Jacob's bedroom, 499 00:31:57,172 --> 00:32:00,758 we found the packaging for a camp axe. 500 00:32:00,758 --> 00:32:05,103 We thought Ammar was killed with a hatchet or a camp axe. 501 00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:08,551 That's exactly what we had right there 502 00:32:08,551 --> 00:32:10,655 was the packaging for it. 503 00:32:10,724 --> 00:32:14,000 WARD: We located a receipt to a local grocery store. 504 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,172 On the receipt, 505 00:32:15,172 --> 00:32:19,172 it showed a purchase of a camp axe, 506 00:32:19,172 --> 00:32:21,241 and then a bottle of bleach, 507 00:32:22,586 --> 00:32:25,655 and we knew that bleach was used at the crime scene. 508 00:32:27,172 --> 00:32:30,103 The next day, we sent Detective Ward to Kroger, 509 00:32:30,103 --> 00:32:32,517 which was the store the bleach was purchased from. 510 00:32:34,034 --> 00:32:36,344 When I was reviewing the surveillance footage, 511 00:32:37,586 --> 00:32:41,448 we actually started right at that moment of the purchase. 512 00:32:41,448 --> 00:32:45,965 Jacob Ficher began his checkout at 3:33 p.m. 513 00:32:48,862 --> 00:32:50,551 At 3:35 p.m., 514 00:32:50,551 --> 00:32:54,655 he exits the store holding his groceries in one hand, 515 00:32:54,655 --> 00:32:55,758 and then in the other hand, 516 00:32:55,758 --> 00:32:58,068 he's holding a bottle of bleach. 517 00:33:00,758 --> 00:33:04,241 SHATTUCK: That photo speaks a thousand words. 518 00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:06,241 I remember sitting there, probably looking over 519 00:33:06,310 --> 00:33:08,448 Detective Ward's shoulder, looking at that, going, 520 00:33:09,758 --> 00:33:10,931 we got him. 521 00:33:13,793 --> 00:33:15,758 WARD: So at that point, as we were watching 522 00:33:15,758 --> 00:33:17,034 the surveillance footage, 523 00:33:17,034 --> 00:33:18,965 we were actually able to go back, 524 00:33:20,103 --> 00:33:22,724 then figure out exactly what vehicle he came from. 525 00:33:23,965 --> 00:33:25,551 On the surveillance footage, 526 00:33:25,551 --> 00:33:28,965 we see that Jacob exits a vehicle, 527 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,103 a red Dodge Ram pickup truck, that is consistent to 528 00:33:32,103 --> 00:33:34,344 the vehicle that we know B'dour owned. 529 00:33:37,655 --> 00:33:39,655 And that's when we figured out that it 530 00:33:39,655 --> 00:33:42,172 was B'dour Al-Yasari's truck that had pulled in. 531 00:33:43,862 --> 00:33:47,172 When we saw B'dour taking Jake to get the weapon 532 00:33:47,241 --> 00:33:50,758 that would be used to kill the father of her girls, 533 00:33:50,827 --> 00:33:52,931 we knew that she had something to do with it. 534 00:34:02,862 --> 00:34:05,241 Jacob Ficher remained in custody following 535 00:34:05,241 --> 00:34:06,551 his arrest on Wednesday, 536 00:34:06,620 --> 00:34:09,344 February 6th, for disorderly conduct. 537 00:34:11,241 --> 00:34:12,862 WARD: When someone is arrested, we'll go through 538 00:34:12,862 --> 00:34:15,241 all their property when they're booked in. 539 00:34:15,310 --> 00:34:18,655 Detective Shattuck told me there was a bus pass in his wallet. 540 00:34:19,965 --> 00:34:22,241 From the bus records that I obtained, 541 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:23,585 I could articulate that 542 00:34:23,585 --> 00:34:28,241 Jacob Ficher used his bus pass at 5:53 p.m. on February 4th. 543 00:34:28,310 --> 00:34:31,482 And where he would have gotten off puts him right in the area 544 00:34:31,482 --> 00:34:34,137 of the Al-Yasari home, 545 00:34:34,137 --> 00:34:36,862 within minutes of the witnesses across the street 546 00:34:36,862 --> 00:34:39,551 putting a figure matching his description in the front door. 547 00:34:41,482 --> 00:34:43,034 Jacob Ficher was formally charged 548 00:34:43,034 --> 00:34:45,482 with the murder of Ammar Al-Yasari. 549 00:34:45,482 --> 00:34:50,034 Then we shifted all of our attention to B'dour. 550 00:34:51,275 --> 00:34:54,516 It was time for us to really solidify her involvement. 551 00:34:57,068 --> 00:35:02,965 Al-YASARI: I remember we were in the funeral home with Ammar. 552 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,241 I saw B'dour there 553 00:35:05,310 --> 00:35:06,793 with her family. 554 00:35:06,793 --> 00:35:09,448 Then I told her, "B'dour, 555 00:35:09,448 --> 00:35:14,034 they arrested the guy who killed Ammar." 556 00:35:14,103 --> 00:35:16,034 She's shocked. 557 00:35:16,034 --> 00:35:20,965 She was so nervous, and her reaction 558 00:35:20,965 --> 00:35:23,103 was not normal to me. 559 00:35:26,344 --> 00:35:29,482 NARRATOR: Investigators analyze the communications between 560 00:35:29,482 --> 00:35:32,655 B'dour and Jacob in the leadup to Ammar's murder. 561 00:35:33,689 --> 00:35:36,344 We discovered a screenshot of 562 00:35:36,413 --> 00:35:39,655 the communications between B'dour and Jacob. 563 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,896 That was Jacob Ficher asking B'dour to 564 00:35:43,896 --> 00:35:47,551 tell him how much Ammar had damaged her. 565 00:35:50,034 --> 00:35:53,448 B'dour obliges and sends a list of all the things 566 00:35:53,448 --> 00:35:57,448 that she's claimed that Ammar has done to her. 567 00:35:57,517 --> 00:36:00,000 SHATTUCK: B'dour is describing Ammar to Jacob, 568 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,344 calling him physically abusive, 569 00:36:02,344 --> 00:36:06,137 mentally abusive -- flat-out lies about Ammar. 570 00:36:07,448 --> 00:36:11,137 There was absolutely zero evidence that Ammar was ever 571 00:36:11,206 --> 00:36:14,551 abusive in any way, shape, or form to anyone. 572 00:36:14,620 --> 00:36:18,931 B'dour was pumping up Jake to kill Ammar. 573 00:36:19,896 --> 00:36:22,965 She's using Jacob to accomplish what she wants. 574 00:36:26,379 --> 00:36:30,344 LO: When we processed the items in both B'dour 575 00:36:30,413 --> 00:36:32,137 and Ammar's vehicles, 576 00:36:32,206 --> 00:36:34,655 we noticed that they both had dash cams. 577 00:36:35,586 --> 00:36:38,896 In reviewing B'dour's dash cam footage, 578 00:36:38,896 --> 00:36:42,137 it pretty much gave her account of when 579 00:36:42,206 --> 00:36:44,758 she leaves work to when she arrives home. 580 00:36:44,827 -->
