A complicated situation

A Tallahassee lawyer was representing Samira's mother in an effort to get the two daughters brought to Madagascar, Samira's place of birth. He often uploaded videos about the case. I asked him in the comments why he was so certain that Adam Frasch was guilty.

He replied that the interrogation was a big part of what convinced him of Dr. Frasch's guilt. He provided the audio recording of it at his YouTube channel and I listened to it three times. I had the opposite experience. I even made a transcript to review. For me, it came across as an innocent man trying to explain a complicated situation.


There was no doubt that Adam and Samira had issues and in the interview he alludes to the consequences of the relationship with the nanny to his daughter from a previous marriage, Martha Moore, which occurred before he and Samira were married. He also mentions how Samira’s constant (unfounded) accusations of infidelity had broken him to the point where he had decided he might as well do what he was being accused of, but that he knew that it hadn’t been the right thing. 


“After awhile you get beat down so much and get accused of things, you might as well do it. Or might as well show her, and that’s not right. Like my dad taught me growing up that two wrongs don’t make a right.” 


The actual psychology of the Frasch marriage was far more absorbing than how any of the documentaries presented it, all of which liked to create a story about a man with dissipated desires. Like most cases, the truth was far more engrossing than fiction. 


The entire transcript of Dr. Frasch's interview with the police can be read at the Travesty of Justice -- the Book blog. It took place after officially finding out that his wife had been found dead in the family pool in Tallahassee. Dr. Frasch had had an early morning and a full day in Panama City Beach taking care of the two girls with plans that Samira would join them later after she had had some time to herself. The harrowing interview started at 11:38 PM when he was both physically exhausted and emotional drained and continued until 1:37 AM.

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...
