On Court TV’s Interview With a Killer, Scott confronts Said over his version of events the night his teen daughters were killed — getting the convicted murderer all fired up by saying his story “defies logic and common sense.”
Yaser Abdel Said is serving life in prison for murdering his two teen daughters … and is the latest subject of Court TV’s record-breaking new TV series, Interview With a Killer.
On the show, award-winning investigative reporter David Scott sits down with some of the most notorious murderers in the U.S., some of whom have never spoken with the media about their convictions.
This Sunday’s new hour revolves around Said, who was convicted in 2022 of fatally shooting 18-year-old Amina Said and 17-year-old Sarah Said , after 12 years on the run from authorities. The two were found dead in Said’s taxi cab, with Sarah calling 911 in her dying moments and identifying her father as the person who shot her.
Their deaths came a week after the two sisters and their mother fled their home in Lewisville, Texas to Oklahoma, to allegedly escape Said. The killings were dubbed “honor killings” in the media, as Said was accused of murdering the girls for bringing dishonor to their family by dating men of non-Muslim faith.
