The shocking accusation against Yaser Said came during testimony by his ex-wife, Patricia Owen, during his capital murder trial. Breaking down several times on the stand, Owens testified that her daughters told her in 1998 that Said had touched them.

After learning about the allegations, Owens said that she went with the daughters to the Hill County Sheriff’s Department “to make a report” before moving to another town to be near her sister. At the time, Amina would have been around 8 years old and Sarah would have been 7.“He wanted me to go back to him and if I didn’t go back to him, he threatened to kill me and my family,” Owens said, adding that Said stated he wanted to kill her after she filed the charges.
While she left Said several times throughout their marriage, Owens said she always returned out of fear. In the weeks leading up to the murders, prosecutors allege Said had grown “angrier” after feeling he had lost control of his wife and daughters, who had been dating non-Muslim men. Owens said that while she knew about her daughter’s boyfriends, the trio kept the information from her husband out of fear of his reaction.
Amina and Sarah would eventually return to the Dallas area on New Year’s Eve, after Owens said that Said and his brother repeatedly called begging her to return. She said that Said left messages that he had changed and that he would leave the house if they didn’t want him there.
