tried to set his wife up to be killed four different times. and what was interesting about that was that on one of these occasions he said that mr. fayed had set up a time when she was at a party in malibu on the 4th of july. was pam fayed at a party in malibu on july 4th? yes, she was. and that led to his credibility. so at that time we decided to try to get this conversation on tape. so they wired the cellmate 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. 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
charged with pam s 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 moorepark. how well did you know josé moya? i knew him pretty well. he was actually he was a really nice guy to me. he was a character. every time he d come into the office we would joke around with each other. he wasn t someone i would ever think could be involved in something like this. you liked him. i did. your mom liked him. she was very fond of joey. had moya charmed his way into the fayeds life as a way to gain their trust? was this all part of a bigger plot to kill each of the owners and steal their gold?
marriage, the final scenes, as it turns out. the woman is pamela fayed, and the man is her husband, jim. at the time this video was recorded, one of them had just minutes to live. rewind the video to just a few minutes the fayeds have just had a meeting with their lawyers. they re in the midst of a bitter divorce. it s 6:30 p.m. the meeting is over. pamela hurries to catch the elevator and gets off at the third she walks to her car and reaches for the keys inside her purse. that s when she was attacked. los angeles prosecutor alan jackson would spend many hours scrutinizing that video. tell me about the attack.
detective salaam abdul-rahman has seen enough cases to know that, in his line of work, murder and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. the ongoing fayed divorce, therefore, got his attention acrimonious, nasty, bitter. mr. fayed was really upset with his wife, mrs. fayed. so that marriage would bear much more scrutiny. investigators set about talking to friends and family to solve the mystery of pam s death. they needed to start with the story of her life. pamela had a spirit that was infectious. carol neve was pam s best friend. she was always happy. she had a personality that just sucked you in and kept you there. carol met pam 22 years ago. we were neighbors and we did become best friends, to the tune of every day we talked. every single day. that was long before jim
them, that moya hired investigators say steven was the alleged stabber and gabriel was the lookout. both pleaded not but amazingly, jim wasn t done with the idea of murder. he apparently believed his cellmate had connections and wanted to hire a new hitman from jail. he wants the ranch hands taken care of. he actually drew out a map that was never found depicting where he can find the ranch hand to actually carry out this murder. and what he wanted to do was have the ranch hand tortured so he could actually tell his cellmate or tell the hit man where the other two individuals were. prosecutors say the price tag for pam fayed s killing was $25,000.
