fayed s vehicle. so blocking her. blocking her so she can t move her car from the parking spot. the killer gets out of the back passenger seat and approaches mrs. fayed from behind. how long did the attack take start to finish? from start to finish i would say anywhere from one to three minutes. police found no eyewitnesses to the actual stabbing, but there were people close by. there s an individual that was in a building across the street from where mrs. fayed was killed. that individual observed her grab the railing and then observed an arm come around mrs. fayed and bring her back into the parking structure. and at that time he didn t see mrs. fayed any longer. that was the killer. that was the killer. police combed the crime scene looking for answers, and they also started looking at the victim, pam fayed, and her husband, jim. the couple had been married nine years. together they ran a gold trading business called goldfinger and together it had made them rich. b
goldfinger, jim fayed s company. one of jim s nephews had recently relocated to california and had driven the car for about a month until just a few days before the murder. after that, the car was in the care of the fayeds ranch hand, a man named josé moya. investigators say it was moya who was behind the wheel, but on the tape there seemed to be three people in the vehicle. who were they? a month later josé moya was arrested and charged with pam s murder. he pleaded not guilty. it turns out josé moya knew pam. not only did he work on their ranch, he even had his own living quarters on the property. moya knew about the fayeds gold. he knew where they stored it. he was trusted to transport the gold back and forth from the business to the home in moorpark. how well did you know josé moya? i knew him pretty well. he was actually he was a
