She was concerned about her husband. 43 00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,760 I remember when I received a call that... 44 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:54,140 A horrible incident has taken place and Saad is severely injured and he is being 45 00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:56,000 taken to the university hospital. 46 00:03:56,540 --> 00:04:02,920 And everybody was just shocked because I cannot imagine that anybody would have 47 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,960 any animosity against a person like Saad. 48 00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:15,580 It had been 17 years since Saad first left his home country of Syria for 49 00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:16,940 in 1982. 50 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,040 The family was very educated. 51 00:04:21,620 --> 00:04:26,080 He had a brother who lived in Boston, and he was professional. 52 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:32,020 His other brother was a physician, and he himself came as a student to do his 53 00:04:32,020 --> 00:04:38,020 bachelor degree in computer sciences at Florida Atlantic University, FAU, in 54 00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:39,020 Boca Raton. 55 00:04:39,740 --> 00:04:44,520 Initially, he worked in some kind of tech company in Hollywood area there 56 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,520 to Miami. 57 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,500 That's where Summer, his wife, came and joined him from Syria, and they got 58 00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:53,800 married in Hollywood, South Florida. 59 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:02,040 Sod and Summer relocated from South Florida to Jacksonville in 1986 for a 60 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,040 opportunity. 61 00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:09,460 At that time, the computer job was not that prevalent or not that good paying. 62 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,720 So that's where they moved down to Jacksonville and purchased a convenience 63 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,660 store. And then he put all of his efforts to become a very successful 64 00:05:20,660 --> 00:05:21,660 business owner. 65 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,420 His business became very successful. 66 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,560 They were making a lot of money with this particular business. 67 00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:35,040 I knew Saad and Samar from the very beginning of my migration to 68 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,780 The president of Islamic Center of Northeast Florida, he invited me for 69 00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:43,060 and that's where I came across them. 70 00:05:43,610 --> 00:05:46,330 They became just like my family and friends. 71 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:52,050 And he was regular for our congregational prayers, and he was a 72 00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:53,710 person, always smiling. 73 00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:59,550 And the next year, in 1987, they had their daughter, Layla. 74 00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:04,810 They lived in Deerwood, which was a gated community, a very affluent 75 00:06:05,530 --> 00:06:10,690 Deerwood has a gorgeous golf course, swimming pool, tennis courts, club. 76 00:06:11,290 --> 00:06:12,810 It's a really nice area. 77 00:06:15,190 --> 00:06:18,310 Saad was very close to his mother and his brother. 78 00:06:18,770 --> 00:06:23,950 So after a lot of communication between the family, the mother and the brother 79 00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:30,090 decided to move to Jacksonville to live closer to Saad. I mean, the way I look 80 00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:36,810 at Saad is that typical success story, who came as an immigrant, who 81 00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:41,600 worked through different stages to become successful businessman, and who 82 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,480 focused upon his business and upon his family and upon serving the community. 83 00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:56,540 So it was the shock of my life seeing somebody who is so kind, so 84 00:06:56,540 --> 00:07:02,500 caring, and such a person full of life being stabbed at his own home. 85 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:11,320 Within an hour of the 911 call, authorities received word that Saad 86 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,020 succumbed to his injuries. 87 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:21,200 I remember rushing to the university hospital, and there I found almost 88 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,740 everybody from the Muslim community or the Syrian community. 89 00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:28,340 It is horrible. 90 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,360 It is unbearable. 91 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,160 So the first question came to our mind is, who could have done it? 92 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,740 Homicide investigators soon arrive at the Kawaf residence. 93 00:07:40,890 --> 00:07:45,350 along with a significant amount of blood on the floor of the garage. 94 00:07:45,910 --> 00:07:52,290 There was blood splatter or transfer on the wall and then on the car, the Camry 95 00:07:52,290 --> 00:07:59,270 itself, which was indicative of a very violent fight and stabbing. 96 00:07:59,550 --> 00:08:04,210 In 1999, DNA was at its infancy at its time. 97 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,740 So detectives are looking to gather any type of evidence from the garage and 98 00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:11,280 inside the house. 99 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,800 You have blood spatter in places. You have some blood droplets on the kitchen 100 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,980 cabinet. There was blood on the kitchen counter and I believe by the sink as 101 00:08:20,980 --> 00:08:21,980 well. 102 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,300 You've got blood everywhere. 103 00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,160 So it's incumbent upon the police to collect blood samples. 104 00:08:27,790 --> 00:08:34,070 Inside a kitchen cabinet, investigators also find evidence to corroborate Summer 105 00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:36,049 Kuwaf's story of the attack. 106 00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:40,690 There were some bags where the money apparently was. In fact, one of the 107 00:08:40,690 --> 00:08:45,830 evidence photos shows a stack of bills in a bag, like maybe somebody missed 108 00:08:45,830 --> 00:08:50,430 when they were scarfing up the rest of it. So this confirmed that this was more 109 00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:52,110 than likely a home invasion robbery. 110 00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:57,370 They didn't know if there was some random person that was going to various 111 00:08:57,370 --> 00:09:00,010 in that particular area. So they were on high alert. 112 00:09:02,510 --> 00:09:08,110 Coming up, investigators uncover red flags inside Kuwaf's life. 113 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:13,470 The victim was the subject of a federal and state investigation. 114 00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:18,750 The felon had inside information that the victim carried large amounts of 115 00:09:18,750 --> 00:09:24,610 home. This is a whole other ballgame now. And as the mystery deepens, the 116 00:09:24,610 --> 00:09:27,950 road to justice leads to an unlikely pair. 117 00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:30,230 You can't dispute the DNA. 118 00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:31,570 They match. 119 00:09:45,550 --> 00:09:50,770 Just a few hours into the investigation of 39 -year -old Saad Kawaf's murder, 120 00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:55,890 investigators in Jacksonville have little doubt about the killer's motive. 121 00:09:56,410 --> 00:10:01,710 It was a robbery slash homicide type incident. You had one victim that was 122 00:10:01,710 --> 00:10:06,850 deceased there, as well as a survivor, the wife of the deceased. 123 00:10:07,370 --> 00:10:10,530 Now we need to figure out who possibly could have done this. 124 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,000 distraught at what just occurred. 125 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,260 The detectives started to interview her at the Deerwood Country Club. 126 00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:23,880 They asked her to start at the beginning of their day. 127 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,660 She said they woke up like any other morning that day. 128 00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:34,780 He was going to pick up his mother to take the mother to a doctor's 129 00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:39,540 Samar had just bid goodbye to her husband. She heard commotion in the 130 00:10:39,860 --> 00:10:42,560 It sounded like her husband was yelling. 131 00:10:43,950 --> 00:10:49,690 She went out there and she saw a male suspect having a major scuffle with her 132 00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:52,150 husband, stabbing him. 133 00:10:53,230 --> 00:10:59,210 There was a white female in the garage as well that immediately approached her 134 00:10:59,210 --> 00:11:01,010 and demanded money from her. 135 00:11:01,730 --> 00:11:04,690 She did not recognize these people who had never seen them before. 136 00:11:05,230 --> 00:11:09,750 She immediately got into a struggle and they then fell to the ground and 137 00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:10,810 struggled from the ground. 138 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,640 She fought off her attacker. 139 00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:18,920 And during her fighting off the attacker, she bit her assailant. She 140 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,920 significant bite mark on her left arm. 141 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,700 The female assailant took Mrs. Quap inside the home to look for money. 142 00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:33,360 And then in comes the male suspect holding a knife to her throat. 143 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,700 And he demands money. He says, I know you've got it here. 144 00:11:38,460 --> 00:11:40,740 The assailant kept asking for the deposit. 145 00:11:41,530 --> 00:11:46,570 They had inside information that Mr. Quaff carried large amounts of money 146 00:11:47,070 --> 00:11:53,810 Mr. Quaff's business did a lot of work in lottery deposits and food stamps, 147 00:11:54,010 --> 00:11:58,050 and so he was holding on to large sums of money at a time. 148 00:11:58,610 --> 00:12:04,010 So is there a co -worker at his convenience store that for some whatever 149 00:12:04,010 --> 00:12:05,870 would want to do this? 150 00:12:06,430 --> 00:12:11,920 According to Summer, Her husband had brought home more than $50 ,000 the 151 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,760 previous night to keep safe until the bank opened on Monday morning. 152 00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:23,120 And at that point, Mrs. Qua told them where the large sum of money in a paper 153 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,900 bag was hidden in one of the kitchen cabinets. 154 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:34,060 After Mrs. Qua points it to them, she is then tied up in duct tape. 155 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,500 Her mouth is sealed with duct tape. 156 00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:41,680 She is secured to a chair, and the male and female suspect leave. 157 00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:49,580 Once the suspects left, she was able to get out of the duct tape and contacted 158 00:12:49,580 --> 00:12:51,080 911 at that point. 159 00:12:51,780 --> 00:12:58,420 Her husband was still alive in the garage, and his only words are, I'm 160 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,600 Call police. 161 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,800 The female was described as being a white female, short blonde hair, well 162 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,460 -dressed and wearing a hat. 163 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:18,200 She didn't have much to say to describe the male assailant.

Cash was probably king. 193 00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:18,720 An employee might have known that Mr. Coif had this much money in his home. So 194 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,280 they did go to the store. 195 00:15:21,870 --> 00:15:27,190 They interviewed each of the employees individually to determine their 196 00:15:27,190 --> 00:15:28,470 relationship with the victim. 197 00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:33,030 Was there anything that would either lead to believe that one of those 198 00:15:33,030 --> 00:15:34,170 is a potential suspect? 199 00:15:34,730 --> 00:15:37,710 They checked their background. They checked their whereabouts. 200 00:15:37,950 --> 00:15:44,770 But all the employees had ironclad alibis, and none of them had done 201 00:15:44,770 --> 00:15:49,610 to raise suspicions of being involved in this homicide. 202 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,200 As investigators search for other potential leads, they discover a 203 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,740 tied to Saad's business dealings. 204 00:15:58,980 --> 00:16:05,040 They learned that the victim was the subject of a federal and state 205 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:10,020 investigation involving the potential money laundering scheme. 206 00:16:11,140 --> 00:16:15,780 This is a whole other ballgame now. We potentially could have organized crime 207 00:16:15,780 --> 00:16:18,840 involved here, which opens up your... 208 00:16:19,070 --> 00:16:22,450 possibilities exponentially of what could have occurred. 209 00:16:22,950 --> 00:16:26,870 Is he selling drugs? Is he getting money for something else that he's not 210 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:27,870 supposed to be doing? 211 00:16:28,410 --> 00:16:33,650 So as a detective, this quickly goes from being, is it a small group of 212 00:16:33,650 --> 00:16:38,710 individuals that knew what his daily routine was, to now the sky's the limit. 213 00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:41,070 Are there drug cartels involved? 214 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:58,020 Less than six hours after the murder of Saad Khawaf, investigators with the 215 00:16:58,020 --> 00:17:02,540 Jacksonville Sheriff's Office have discovered he was the subject of a multi 216 00:17:02,540 --> 00:17:03,840 -jurisdiction investigation. 217 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:11,680 In the United States, if you make a bank deposit, $10 ,000 or more, it 218 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,359 gets reported to the federal government. 219 00:17:13,660 --> 00:17:19,420 The victim was making cash deposits to his bank twice a week. 220 00:17:19,930 --> 00:17:22,290 They were under the $10 ,000 mark. 221 00:17:23,230 --> 00:17:27,390 It's going to throw a red flag if you're constantly making cash deposits on a 222 00:17:27,390 --> 00:17:29,610 regular basis under $10 ,000. 223 00:17:30,350 --> 00:17:32,290 It's going to get their attention, and it did. 224 00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:38,370 It raises the eyebrows of the government as how are you making the money? Is 225 00:17:38,370 --> 00:17:39,390 your business a front? 226 00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:44,430 Are you doing something illegal and you're bringing in a lot of cash that 227 00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:45,430 not reporting? 228 00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:50,670 And so he was reported by his bank to the authorities, and the matter was 229 00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:52,050 assigned to a task force. 230 00:17:55,890 --> 00:18:01,130 Two days after his murder, a judge signs off on a search warrant for Saad 231 00:18:01,130 --> 00:18:02,130 Khawaf's home. 232 00:18:02,930 --> 00:18:05,910 Detectives conducted a search warrant at his home. 233 00:18:06,430 --> 00:18:10,450 They found nothing.

Absolutely. 528 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,720 But at the end of the day, it was her choice either to go or not go. 529 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,540 And she chose to go. 530 00:40:29,009 --> 00:40:31,230 Melissa Schaefer's never been anybody's victim. 531 00:40:31,790 --> 00:40:37,810 She's very aggressive. And the same way that she could flip that switch and be 532 00:40:37,810 --> 00:40:42,710 this angry person, she can flip it right back the other way and come across as 533 00:40:42,710 --> 00:40:44,710 soft -spoken, caring. 534 00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:50,750 If she went over there that day with Bear and they murdered this man, she 535 00:40:50,750 --> 00:40:53,350 willingly. She went because of what was in it for her. 536 00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:55,950 She was an angry, selfish person. 537 00:40:58,190 --> 00:41:03,430 I am glad that justice has been served, even though it will not bring that 538 00:41:03,430 --> 00:41:09,550 father or that brother or that kind human being back. But at least right 539 00:41:09,590 --> 00:41:12,610 the closure is that we know what happened. 540 00:41:13,590 --> 00:41:19,290 To realize that William Bayer, after the murder, was sitting with his task force 541 00:41:19,290 --> 00:41:24,490 of federal and state agents, listening to an update on the homicide that he 542 00:41:24,490 --> 00:41:25,490 committed. 543 00:41:26,990 --> 00:41:30,130 Being discussed, that is just amazing to me. 544 00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:35,130 The fact that he's retired law enforcement leaves a bad taste in your 545 00:41:35,170 --> 00:41:41,170 It's beyond disappointing when you learn that one of your own is capable of 546 00:41:41,170 --> 00:41:42,170 doing something like this. 547 00:41:42,990 --> 00:41:48,470 He needed her help, and she didn't want to disappoint. 548 00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:55,210 So for this particular event, you know, I would say they would have been... 549 00:41:55,790 --> 00:41:56,870 The perfect match. 550 00:42:00,270 --> 00:42:03,230 It's sad for the Coif family that it happened to him. 551 00:42:03,770 --> 00:42:08,490 Mr. Coif came to America for a better life, for himself as well as his family. 552 00:42:08,710 --> 00:42:13,630 He moved into an affluent neighborhood, a gated community where he felt safe, 553 00:42:13,750 --> 00:42:17,890 and he just wanted to live a peaceful life, being successful, and that dream 554 00:42:17,890 --> 00:42:18,890 fell short. 555 00:42:19,820 --> 00:42:24,940 Saad was a family man, he was a generous man, he was very pious, righteous, 556 00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:32,000 smiling, very social, very friendly, very caring, a person who was kind to 557 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,000 everybody. 558 00:42:34,240 --> 00:42:41,180 When these kind of souls go away, they leave a huge vacuum. I believe if he 559 00:42:41,180 --> 00:42:45,120 would have been given the opportunity to live, he would have made a huge 560 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,260 difference in the lives of so many people around him.
