Who Killed Samira DS Frasch?

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 under the Slayer Statute that says a person can't benefit financially from their crime ... if the primary beneficiary, Dr. Adam Frasch, was indeed guilty of murdering Samira. But it was paid out to Dr. Adam Frasch before his trial. The insurance company did their own investigation and discovered that among many exonerating facts, 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. A

On the day of Samira's death, police interviewed neighbours. One neighbour told police that Dr. Frasch hadn't looked happy the day before Samira had died and had put on weight. Suspicious? At their beach home, a neighbour told police that Dr. Frasch had been behaving erratically, driving forwards and then backwards on the street. Suspicious? Prosecutor Georgia Cappleman drew attention to how on the day of the murder Dr. Frasch had gone and purchased a gas cap for his wife's Hummer. Suspicious? Yes, one has to be careful to leave the house looking cheerful and trim, otherwise it might look suspicious.  As for the erratic driving, Dr. Frasch was driving away from his beach home and realized he had forgotten to check the mailbox. He backed up to get the mail.  And in one of the many documentaries made about this case, Prosecutor Georgia Cappleman put forward the idea that Dr. Frasch had gone out to purchase a gas cap for his wife's Hummer in an effort to establish an alibi

The media loved the story of Adam and Samira Frasch. They were a fascinating couple with a luxurious lifestyle and two beautiful babies, one of them already a social media star. The truth of how Dr. Frasch had met his French model wife and the life that they shared would have been enough of a story but the media chose to fall back on clichés that turned Dr. Frasch into a womanizing gambler and his wife into a terrified, hunted woman.  At the centre of the lies were Assistant State Attorney, Georgia Cappleman, and State Attorney Investigator, Jason Newlin. The misconceptions put forward by the media could almost all be directly or indirectly linked back to this tag team that decided at some point that it was going to be Dr. Adam Frasch who would be prosecuted for Samira’s death regardless of whether or not he had an unbreakable alibi. Dr. Frasch’s alibi alone should have exonerated him. Neighbour Matthew Christiansen came forward and said that he had seen a tall, thin, African American

Prosecutor Georgia Cappleman admitted three years after the trial that she gave the jury what they needed to hear to get the verdict she wanted. 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 thr

At 10:46 am on February 22, 2014 Bank of America security footage recorded Dr. Frasch with his two children doing his banking in Panama City Beach. After that, he went on to his Panama City Beach home where his neighbour talked with him and helped him get his children out of their car seats.  At the same time back in Tallahassee Samira was seen alive on the driveway - putting something into the Hummer and returning to the house - by neighbours, Mr. Matthew Christiansen and his daughter, Lauren. Dr. Frasch was three hours away and in less than half an hour, Samira would be murdered. He could not have done it.  Mr. Christiansen is positive about the time. He even walked the route again to time it, using his phone records which gave him the time that he had called his wife when he got home that day. He had passed the house sometime between 10:25 am and 10:45 am on February 22, 2014. He came forward and talked to law enforcement officials when he heard about Samira's death, but this wa

In an interview with Tallahassee lawyer James P. Waczewski  almost three years after the trial, Prosecutor Georgia Cappleman said that when it came to selecting the jury, she wanted people who understood the cycles of domestic abuse.  But what was never brought out at the trial or by the media was that Samira Frasch was bipolar.  The anomalies of their marriage weren’t caused by domestic abuse, they were caused by her manic and mixed episodes.   In an inexcusable twist of irony, it had been suggested by authorities that it was Dr. Frasch who was bipolar and needed to be on medication before he could appear in court.   It was part of the prosecution’s efforts to hold Dr. Frasch in jail while they built a case against him. Over five years after Samira’s death, in the interview with Waczewski, Cappleman says she “wasn’t familiar with any particular diagnosis that he had for a mental health problem.”  She admits, “I think we felt like the case was going to be difficult to prove. We were st
