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
wife s phobia with knives, and that was one of the reasons that a knife was used. you think it s no accident that pamela fayed was killed with a knife. you think her husband deliberately not just had her killed, but had her killed in the way that she was most frightened of? that s my belief. jim fayed was to go on trial the jury would learn about all the evidence investigators collected. they would hear from witnesses and, of course, from jim fayed himself in his own words, in what his attorney would claim was simply a performance for an audience of one. and now you re about to hear the tapes too. she ran her mouth too much. she ran out of control. she started running her mouth. she should have kept her mouth shut. yeah. coming up, true confession or terrific con job? he was conned into playing along with this cellmate in order to survive.
as the money came in. now it was no secret that pam fayed and her husband were involved in a nasty, high stakes divorce. it was also no secret that jim fayed could not have committed the murder. when mrs. fayed was killed, it was impossible that he was holding the knife because he was with his attorneys at that moment. in the same building? in the same building. he couldn t have gotten away from them long enough to get down to the parking garage and kill his wife? no. and also, after mrs. fayed was murdered there was video footage that put mr. fayed in the courtyard. so it was impossible for him to be in two places at one time. that security video shows jim fayed trying to make a cell phone call at exactly the moment you see people reacting to pam s screams. not only that, but a tall man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt clearly was not a description of jim fayed. a woman murdered, a bitter
and the first thing we noticed was that there was three individuals in the vehicle that was registered to mr. fayed s company. so we knew we had three additional suspects besides mr. fayed. now, the only question is how do we tie those three to mr. fayed? and that was done through cell phone searches and also cell site coordination. it would take more than a year to gather enough evidence to charge two more suspects with murder. in june 2010 steven simmons and gabriel marquez were arrested. prosecutors say jim didn t know them, that moya hired them. investigators say steven was the alleged stabber and gabriel was the lookout. both pleaded not guilty. but amazingly, jim fayed wasn t done with the idea of murder. he apparently believed his cellmate had connections, and he wanted to hire a new hit man from jail. he wants the ranch hand taken care of.
for sound, and they heard jim fayed talking about how he had tried to kill his wife but how it just hadn t worked out that time. former prosecutor, alan jackson. james fayed describes in detail how he told the killers about a party that pamela was going to be attending in malibu. according to him, they were simply supposed to carjack her and kill her, and everybody would think that it was just a random act of violence. nobody would know anything the better. now with a confession on tape, both jim fayed and jose moya were charged with pam s murder. but there was more work to be done in order to track down the others involved. it seems like you pretty quickly fixed on mr. fayed as the only suspect here. and the only question was, since it wasn t his hand on the knife, whose hand was it, and how do you connect that person to him? correct.
