brutal. vicious. pamela was completely defenseless. she was attacked, i believe, from behind first, with a knife. somebody much larger than her, somebody much stronger than her, who had an absolute mission, and that was to cut her throat, to kill her. on the video you can see people in the complex starting to walk toward the sound of pam fayed toward the sound of pam fayed screaming. one man ran to the scene and saw a tall man in a black hooded sweatshirt jump into the back seat of a red suv that was parked behind pam s car and be driven that witness then tried to help pam fayed. and then, as he walked around to where the attack took place, that s when he first saw pamela. he said that when she looked at him he went into a little shock because the only thing that was not covered in blood was the whites of her
i was about 6 years old. they started dating. and slowly, you know, she started introducing this man to me, and i actually i grew attached to him. i looked at him as that father figure that i needed in my life. i kind of get the feeling that he sort of seemed to step up to the job of stepfather, which a lot of guys don t do. he did. he actually did want to take on that responsibility. i think he was proud to do it. we actually got really close to each he was very caring and loving towards me. what did you like most about him? he was funny. i just liked being around him. funny but not nearly as social and outgoing as pam. jim was a gentle soul. very quiet kind of soul. very private back then. she saw jim as someone who would provide for the family, had a good, honest job, doing electrical work. when they learned pam was pregnant, they decided to make it official. jim and pam were
jim fayed was the president. he seemed to like the sound of that, and he apparently loved controlling just about every aspect of the business. he originally was a really humble guy, and i feel like, as the business grew, so do his ego and basically changed the person he was into thinking almost as if he was someone who was invincible. and then one day jim discovered that he wasn t. his health started to slip. he developed rheumatoid arthritis and started taking a lot of pills to dull the pain from and perhaps a different side of jim fayed began to emerge. there became a point where jim was addicted to pain medications. and it wasn t the same jim that pam knew. by this point jim wanted total control of her and the company and her job was to stay home and be a wife. as controlling as jim was,

a witness against him. he was pretty pissed off about that. what potentially were the penalties for mr. and mrs. fayed in that federal case? potentially they could have had their assets seized. that was if they have their assets seized fayed wouldn t be able to conduct business. after a long investigation, federal agents took jim into custody days after pam was killed. he was charged with operating a money transfer business without a license, and he pleaded not guilty. at the same time, detective abdul rahman continued his investigation into pam s murder, starting not just with the videotape of jim fayed at the time of the murder but also with some security video of the parking garage exit. what we did was that we narrowed it down to the time around when mrs. fayed was killed and the vehicles that were leaving the parking
