(WFAA) Testimony Friday detailed how members of Yaser Said’s family helped him evade capture for years.
Said disappeared on New Year’s Day in 2008, the same night his daughters Amina and Sarah Said were found shot to death in a cab he’d borrowed.
Picking through trash and following members of Said’s family, agents finally got the lead that led to Said’s capture 12 years after their deaths.
Agents took him into custody at a Justin home owned by Said’s nieces.
But first authorities came close to catching Said three years earlier.
FBI Agent Daniel Gimenez testified that authorities found out that Islam Said, Yaser’s son, had rented a Bedford apartment. Gimenez said agents asked the manager to call if there were any tips to Said’s whereabouts.
