Another motive in the Samira Frasch case?




Gerald Gardner was the Frasch family handyman and spent extensive time with Samira both when Adam was at work and later when the couple were living separately. The police report includes an interview with a neighbour who said that a man fitting Gardner's description told her he was looking after Samira while she and Adam were separated.

When police interviewed Adam they were told that Samira would occasionally let the handymen they hired stay over at their place in the guest room, something that made him uncomfortable. He also told police that Samira would almost flirt with Gerald Gardner, their current handyman, on the phone saying how much she missed him. 

Gardner had testified on Samira's behalf at a child custody hearing despite knowing that at times she would get violent with Adam and when off her medication might not be the most fit parent to look after the children. Gardner had seen her coming at her husband and had often pleaded with her not to do that to Doc, as he called Dr. Frasch. 

At the trial, prosecutor Georgia Cappleman asked him if he was romantically involved with Samira. He denied any romantic interest, but the question itself is telling. Certainly, it suggested the possibility. And a simple denial from Gardner is not sufficient proof that he didn't have feelings for his beautiful employer. 

At the time of the trial, the Tallahassee Democrat reported that, "State prosecutors are trying to block the testimony that Samira Frasch and the man who found her lifeless body were romantically involved." 

Adam and Samira were reconciling shortly before her death. Videos and photos on the family's phones show them having a weekend vacation, enjoying the hotel pool and in a restaurant having an amiable meal. The prosecutor ignored all of this. She also ignored that the handyman might not have been pleased that Samira and Adam were reconciling and that Adam was in the process of moving back into the family home. 

If Gerald Gardner was being rebuffed by Samira that would have been one more reason why an altercation by the family pool could have ended badly. 

There was more to Gardner's story than what came out in the trial. Travesty of Justice: The Dr. Adam Frasch Case goes into greater detail as to how and why the handyman is not only the best suspect in the Samira Frasch murder, he's the only suspect.

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 - model, 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-seat...

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...
