Did Dr. Frasch lie about his wife’s drinking?




Dr. Frasch told investigators that his wife had been drinking throughout their last day together and that she had opened a fresh bottle of champagne when they had gotten home that night. 


However, the toxicology report showed no alcohol in her system.


In the trial, both medical examiners were asked if Samira had finished off two bottles of champagne from about midnight to 4 am would there still be any alcohol in her system in the morning? Both the State medical examiner and the expert for the defense said there would still be alcohol in her system. 


However, Dr. Frasch had not told investigators that she had consumed two full bottles of champagne between midnight and 4 am. He had told them he had seen two empty champagne bottles on the kitchen counter when he had left that morning. And that her drinking had started earlier in the day. It was a second bottle that had been opened at midnight.


Earlier in the trial, Detective Justin Vann was asked why police had not collected the champagne bottles as evidence. Especially since there were so many open bottles everywhere, including a half-finished glass on an end table. Detective Vann said they didn’t because “there’s no law against that” regarding drinking. 


No, but there was no law against anything else they collected as evidence that day to try to determine what had happened. Even the diaper bag was temporarily confiscated. 


Considering how many crimes are fuelled by alcohol, it was odd that they didn’t collect them. It would have confirmed Doc’s story to have found Samira’s fingerprints on the bottles and the glass. He said he hadn’t been drinking. 


The truth is, with Dr. Frasch as the prime suspect from Day 1, they had no reason to verify his story or do any kind of detective work that might actually exonerate him. Finding evidence that pointed away from him was not in the best interest of their case. 


In addition, the prosecution was saying that Samira had died sometime much earlier, before Dr. Frasch left at 8 am. In fact, all the evidence pointed to her dying at around 11 am which gave more time for the alcohol to leave her body.

What's going on now? The fight for Hyrah and Skynnah

Image
A horrific drama continues to unfold in Tallahassee. Tallahassee lawyer James P. Waczewski has filed a civil lawsuit against Dr. Frasch on behalf of his client, Samira Frasch’s mother in Madagascar.  Samira Frasch’s mother wants not only the children but also Samira's $1 million dollar insurance settlement that would have gone directly to secondary beneficiary, Hyrah (Adam and Samira's firstborn), under the Slayer Statute which says a murderer can't financially benefit from his crime. But the  settlement  was paid to the primary beneficiary, Dr. Adam Frasch, before his trial. The insurance company did their own investigation and discovered many exonerating facts, including that one of Samira’s phones had pinged off of a tower in Marianna, FL at the time that Dr. Frasch was passing through on his way to Panama City Beach. Since his own phone showed him steadily heading south, they knew he was nowhere near his home in Tallahassee at the time of his wife’s death. And this is...

Scapegoat

Image
On February 22, 2014, Samira Frasch - supermodel, singer, mother - was alleged to be ‘found’ dead at the bottom of the pool of her Tallahassee, Florida home by a maintenance man. At the same time, her husband was in Panama City Beach (a three-hour drive away) with their two young children having left the house early that morning to give his wife a Momma’s Day Off.  It should have been a good day for Samira. Dr. Adam Frasch often took the children so that his wife could run errands, get her hair and nails done or go to the spa for a massage, waxing and facial. It was something they did when they were at home or travelling. Dr. Frasch would take the two girls to the park or library or Chuck E. Cheese. And as the girls got older, he would take them to the beach house. Sometimes Samira would meet them later in the day and take the kids so that her husband could get a massage or run some errands or if either of them wanted to use one of their sports cars or motorcycles that weren’t baby...

Trial

What kind of relationship did they have? “Everything I can tell, it was pretty violent… physical abuse, verbal abuse, mental for sure.” Jason Newlin, State Attorney Investigator  Everything got twisted right from Day One. It was true that Dr. Frasch and his wife had a history of violence. But it was Samira who was the assailant. Because of a bipolar disorder, on occasion Samira would get violent, full of rage and out-of-control. Ninety-five percent of the time, the Fraschs were fine but these domestic incidents were used to support that they had a tumultuous relationship without ever mentioning that it was Samira who instigated them and Dr. Frasch who endured them.  Dr. Frasch challenges anyone - friend, family or foe - to name one time he was violent toward Samira. In fact, anyone who knew the family would have had to say that when Samira threatened him, her husband replied with patience and love. But no character witnesses were called on to oppose the picture of violence cre...
