The Calculated Killer: Seduced, Drugged, and Strangled in His Own Home · Crime Night

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: That night in twenty eighteen. The air in the house,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it wasn't just still, it felt heavy, calculated Nasir, he's
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: about fifty one, fifty two. A mechanic successful comes. I'm tired, unsuspecting.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: And Amrah his wife, she's thirty one. She has dinner
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: ready for him. But this isn't about comfort.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: No, this meal is designed for something else, entirely oblivion,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: really packed with a powerful sedative, fast acting.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: The precision is what jumps out right away. It wasn't
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a messy approach. This was about complete control, ensuring he
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: was immobilized before, well before the end, and the calculation.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: It didn't even stop there once he'd eaten, Once the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: drug was into system. A mirror insisted on intimacy.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Which sounds incredibly cruel.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: It was was an affection. It was like a deliberate tactic.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Drain him completely, make sure that sedative hit with full force,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and it worked. He was exhausted, drugged. He just collapsed
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: into this deep sleep, couldn't be woken.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: A house goes silent, and that silence that was the cue,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: wasn't it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, A mirror makes a call. Not even thirty minutes
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the door opens and Mamood walks in the man she
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: actually wanted.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: He's only twenty one, young, much younger.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: He goes straight to the bedroom, finds Nasa asleep, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: he uses his hands strangles him, makes absolutely certain he's dead.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Brutal, But the story gets even more disturbing after the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: act itself.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Right before they even think about getting rid of the body,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: they take two hours. Yeah, two hours. They fulfill this
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: promise Mahmoud wanted, he complained about their secret meetings, wanted
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: something normal.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: In that contact.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, So right there in Nasar's own home, in
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the bedroom where his body is lying, they consummate their
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: relationship like they're claiming the space.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It's a psychological violation on top of everything else. Just horrific.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: After those two hours, then they get down to business. Yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: wrapping Nassar's body in a sheet, stuffing it into sacks.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: They even call a friend to help. Before three am,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he's dumped in a canal nearby. Just god, it's shocking,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: so calculated. But the real question, the one driving this
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: whole deep dive, is how how does eleven years of marriage,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: four kids, a whole life built together and like this
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in betrayal murder. Okay, let's go back.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: We need to to really understand the depth of this deception.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: You have to go back to two thousand and seven,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a suit. That's where it all began. Okay, Nasar's forty. Then,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: he's a successful mechanic, owns his own workshop, financially very secure,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: respected in the community. He's finally decided. Okay, time to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: settle down, get married, and a mir She's twenty one, young, beautiful,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and crucially, her family is wealthy. Her dad owns grocery stores,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: so she understands business commerce.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Twenty years difference.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: That's significant, very and the understanding right from the start
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: seems to have been well, a calculation, almost transactional.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: A deal. Basically, she gets financial security, a good life.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: He gets a young, beautiful wife exactly.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: They marry within a year, but things start to crack
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: pretty quickly. Within two years. After their first child is born.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Amira starts to feel regret, real regret about that age gap.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: She sees it as a sacrifice she made.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, wait, if she's from a wealthy family, presumably smart,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: business minded, why not just leave divorce him? If she
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was unhappy so early on, why stick around for eleven
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: years of deception.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That's the key, isn't it. Divorce might have been messy,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: maybe less profitable in the long run. Instead, she found
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a way to leverage her unhappiness. She winnanizes that regret.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: How So, she made Nasa feel constantly indebted to her, like,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: look what I gave up for you marrying an older man.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It gave her this subtle psychological power over him. Anytime
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: she asked for something, he felt obligated to give it
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to make up for this perceived sacrifice.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Ah okay, So instead of leaving, she gained control within.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: The marriage precisely, and that control is what allowed the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: next phase, setting up her own private domain, the.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Supermarket, right, the supermarket. Yes, she pitches it as a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: business idea.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Brilliant one, really levages her family background, tells Nasa it'll
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: keep her busytive. He sees it as a good investment,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: something for the family, so he agrees sets her up.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: But there was that one specific detail she insisted on.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: The private room.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, a secure, private restroom inside the supermarket. The excuse
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: was perfect.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Plausible deniability, totally a place for her to rest during
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the day, or maybe for the kids if they visited
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: while she worked. Nasa apparently thought it was a bit odd,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: but she tied it to the family's well being, so he.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Went along with it, and that room became the hub.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: The center of operations for a whole system of affairs
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: over the next four years. While their family is growing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: They eventually have four children.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Four kids. Wow, and she's running this system. How does
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: she manage it? Keep it secret?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: It was methodical. The men were always young, usually needed work.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: The process was simple. Lock the outer iron door of
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the supermarket, conduct the liaison in the private room, unlocked
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the door. Afterwards, business as usual.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And the employees.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the men involved disposable. They never kept any of
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: them longer than six months. When she was done, she'd fire.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Them with a cover story.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I assume always business related. They weren't committed enough, or
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: she had to protect trade secrets from competitors. Things Nasser,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: as a businessman himself, would find logical. Rational explanations, made
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: her look sharp, protective of his investment.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Incredible, just layers upon layers of deception. Yet, it says
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Niser Filt, something wasn't quite right for ten years, a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: kind of unease.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: He did, an intuition, maybe but he couldn't pin it down.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Her system was just too tight, too logical. On the surface.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: He had the feeling, but no proof, nothing concrete to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: challenge her story.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So for years these affairs were just short term, transactional.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Exactly until twenty seventeen. That's when Mamood enters the picture
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and everything changes.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, So Ma Mood June twenty seventeen. Amiras thirty one,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: now married ten years. Ma Mood is twenty one. They
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: meet on Facebook. What made him different? Why did he
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: break her system?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: It seems this one, well, it became emotional for Ameira.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: It wasn't just physical utility anymore. She fell for him hard,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: believed he treated her with real love, like a real man,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: something she felt was missing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And Ma Mood what were his motives?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Initially pure exploitation. It seems he saw wealthy older woman,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: feigned affection to get money and idot get money immediately.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: As soon as they met in person at the supermarket,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: he asked for cash and she gave it to him easily.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But then something shifted.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, after about six months, Ma Mood apparently started to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: reciprocate those feelings, or at least he enjoyed the money,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the constant attention from her. It became more than just
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a transaction for him too, it seems.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: So Amira hires him full time at the supermarket to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: keep him close exactly.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It cemented their connection, gave them constant access privacy. But
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: after a year of this, Mamod started getting tired of
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the secret meetings in the back room.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He wanted that normal experience she eventually gave him after
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the murder.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Right, he wanted to be with her in the house.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Amira initially refused, said it was too risky, but she
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: promised him, promised she'd make it happen somehow.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And that's when the idea shifted from a fair to elimination.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: It seems so, after eleven years married, one year with Momod,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: they decide Nasa has to go so they can be
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: together properly, and Ameera, described as the dangerous, apparently planned
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the whole murder in just two days.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Two days, that's fast.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And the timing was again impeccable, or perhaps just grimly convenient.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: The children happened to be staying with relatives. It gave
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: them a clear window, no witnesses, no complications, which.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Brings us back to that Wednesday night, the sedative, the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: forced intimacy, the strangulation, the chilling two hour celebration, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: then the disposal. The cover up starts almost immediately.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Thursday noon, Ameer makes her first move. Calls Nasser's brothers,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: tells them Nasser called her from his workshop the night before,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: said he was working late, but then never came home.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: She even says she'd check the workshop and it was closed,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: setting up a missing person angle. Precisely by Friday morning,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the brothers filed the report, and almost at the same time,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: a body is pulled from that nearby canal.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Nasar's body the brothers identify him, but Amirah she puts
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: on her performance at the morgue.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: A big one. She acts utterly devastated, so distraught she
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: claims she can't even identify her own husband. The police
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: initially buy it, thinking she's just in deep shock.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But this is where her meticulous planning starts to fall apart.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Isn't it that decade of control gives way to panic,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It really does.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: The pressure gets to her when the police start questioning
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: her formally, her story changes that initial narrative she gave
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the family Naser never came home from the workshop. That
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: gets thrown out.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Would she tell the police instead?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Now she claims Nasser did come home Wednesday and I
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: had dinner, then he got a phone call about work
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and left again, a completely different timeline, a.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Fatal contradiction, because the science wasn't going.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: To lie, not at all. The forensics come back strangulation
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: is confirmed as the cause of death, but the toxicology
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: report is the real nail in the coffin high levels
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of sis in his blood and the crucial part undigested
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: food in his stomach, meaning he was killed very shortly
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: after eating dinner. He couldn't have come home eaten then
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: left again for a work hall before being killed elsewhere.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: He was drugged and killed right there in the house,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: soon after that final meal.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It completely destroys her second story to the police. Yeah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and implicates her directly.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, the timeline becomes undeniable. Suspicion locks onto a mirror.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Then the police start digging deeper. They talk to people
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: near the supermarket.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And they confirm the weird pattern locking the iron door
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: from the inside.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, neighbors mention how unusual it was locking up during
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: business hours, staying inside It defied logic for a normal shop,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: backing up the idea she was using it for something illicit.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: The pieces are all falling into place.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: The final piece is uncovering the relationship with Mahmood. Police
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: find communications, financial records. The whole explicit.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Affair comes to light, so face with the science, the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: contradictory stories, the motive.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: She breaks infesses everything, the whole plan, Mamod's involvement, the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: friend who helped dump the body, and the outcome. All three, Amirah,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Mahmood and the friend were arrested, charged with premeditated murder.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Ultimately they were sentenced to death.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Just a chilling story. Eleven years of calculated deception, four children,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a successful life on the surface, all undone.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: It really is a stark example of how long someone
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: can maintain a facade fueled by dissatisfaction. She managed every
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: detail for over a decade, but couldn't manage her own
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: panic when the pressure was finally on. That one slip
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: up in her story.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It makes you think, doesn't it. The source material mentions
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: birds of a feather flock together. If you listening, ever,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: feel caught in some kind of calculated situation maintaining a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: false front. What's the real price? And how often does
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: this intricate planning, years of it just crumble because of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: one small human error, forgetting which lie you told to whom?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And it poses a deeper question, perhaps, is any human calculation,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: no matter how are cold blooded truly fool proof? Can
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: it ever fully escape? Well? Maybe not justice in the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: legal sense always, but just the simple undeniable weight of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the truth. Sometimes it's the smallest thing, undigested food, a
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: conflicting alibi that brings the entire structure crashing down.
