Century City Murder
I’m strangely fascinated by the case of the woman stabbed to death in a Century City parking garage after meeting with her lawyer in a nasty divorce with millions of dollars at stake. They say that stabbing someone to death is the most rageful of murders–you have to get thisclose–and the vast majority of women killed are knocked off by their husbands, exes or boyfriends. So why was it that a doctor who tried to help the poor woman, Pamela Goudie Fayed, was arrested at the scene (and later released) and the husband was left to walk around free for weeks—until it came to light that the rental SUV used as the getaway car in the brutal attack was rented with his credit card. Great police work! Don’t they have security cameras or parking lot attendants in that garage? The sleazebag ex-husband was up on federal charges pertaining to what looks like a Ponzi scheme business he ran–a gold bullion business, and I bet there’s no bars there–and the judge wouldn’t grant bail. Coincidentally, Ms. Fayed just happened to be killed on the eve of a court hearing into how to divide up proceeds from the business.
