On a wall in the house, a message had been scrawled in Arabic—what seemed a warning from the killer or killers, since Amal, a former Muslim, had converted to Christianity and was vocal about her new faith. Amal was active on a television ministry broadcast for the Kurdish community in the US—but only as someone who called in to bear her testimony of Jesus Christ. She never appeared physically on any television program or video. Although her murder may appear to have been a consequence of Amal’s conversion and activity in the ministry, the host Eileen sees it differently. After going through public documents and forensic evidence, she strongly believes that her friend’s murder was not motivated by religion—but that she was killed by someone close to her. A month prior to her murder, Amal called 911 and reported a kidnapping attempt. Two policemen showed up at her residence in Surprise, but found Amal utterly calm and collected. She didn’t show any sign of fear or stress. In addition, according to people close to her, Amal had received phone threats in the days leading up to her murder. But Amal never reported these to the police, nor did their postmortem investigation turn up any suspicious messages or voice mails in her phone record. Amal’s husband Jihad was also a convert to Christianity. Yet she alone fell victim to the alleged extremist’s attack. This case was solvable back in 2017—but the police of Surprise botched it. Eileen exposes the incompetence of the local detectives, and their mishandling of crucial evidence. Please join Eileen as she unravels the threads of the unsolved murder of her friend. The story has never been told until now—and the rabbit hole she went down will thrill and appall you with its many twists and turns. https://the-victim-in-surprise.captivate.fmtrueepisodic338351nopodcastArizona, USAS2 - Episode 5 - Let’s Talk About Trash and TemperatureS2 - Episode 5 - Let’s Talk About Trash and TemperatureIn this final episode, we go on a deep dive into two important and unfortunately overlooked pieces of evidence that could have helped with this case. Amal's body temperature at time of death & also the trash from the crime scene.

Why was one not looked into at all and the other only slightly touch upon?

This season closes out with lots of questions, with aspirations, & with the hope that this case will be solved one day.

Through her work and determination, our host Eileen Zenn continues to uncover more information about this unsolved case. While some of this has been very discouraging, Eileen will not give up, and that is why we have returned.

When this podcast was originally conceived, the intention was to present it as one season to bring awareness to Amal Bahjat's brutal unsolved murder. The hope was to respark interest in her case and to reignite the police investigation to find Amal's killer. However, as we are entering into the 9th year of her unsolved cold case, host Eileen Zenn felt the urge to bring the podcast back for another season to keep alive the attention and focus to this case and to present more facts and details.

Through her work, Eileen has uncovered more information, some of which was very discouraging, but Eileen will not give up, and that is why we have returned.

In this season, we will look closely at the small details surrounding this case. In this episode, we shall introduce them to you, the listener. Based on updates from the Surprise police department's most recent report, we go back to where Eileen left off back in Season 1.

She was my friend. I am Eileen Zenn, the host of The Victim in Surprise. I have become fed up with the Surprise police department’s handling of the case, so I began to do my own digging into this unsolved violent crime against my friend.

From blame shifting, to evidence mishandling, what I have discovered will shock you. Some claim that this brutal act was motivated by religious fanaticism, as evidenced by a menacing message written on a wall at the scene of the murder but there is reason to believe that Amal might have been killed by someone close to her.
