In the pool



On February 22, 2014, Samira DS Frasch was ‘found’ at the bottom of her pool by her handyman, Gerald Gardner. 


When police arrived Gardner immediately began saying things like, “he murdered her,” referring to her husband, Dr. Adam Frasch, who was three hours away in Panama City Beach. Was the handyman really so discerning as to realize that what initially looked like a drowning was actually a murder? Or was he already deflecting police attention away from himself? He knew Samira couldn’t swim. The most natural conclusion upon seeing her in the pool, sunk to the bottom, would have been to think she drowned, not that someone had murdered her.


While doing the autopsy, the medical examiner found a blow to Samira's head caused by a blunt object. She ruled out a golf club which the prosecution put forward as a possible instrument used. Georgia Cappleman was attempting to build a case around a jailhouse snitch's story who had told law enforcement officials that Dr. Frasch had struck his wife with a golf club. In fact, all Dr. Frasch had told him was that he played golf. (The snitch got out of prison, anyway, in exchange for his testimony.)

Yet first-responders didn't notice the blow to her head from the blunt force, nor the injuries caused by her fall to the hard poolside. It wasn't until the autopsy that they were discovered. So why did the handyman who 'found' her start talking about murder? The only person who would have known about the injuries to her head would have been the murderer.

The fight for Samira's girls ~ Hyrah & Skynnah

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...

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

Image
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 ...

THE DAY SAMIRA DIED ~ February 22, 2014

Image
When Dr. Frasch left his wife that morning, she was still in bed. He kissed her before leaving and they agreed that she would contact him later that day about joining him and the kids at their beach home in Panama City Beach.  From there, it is easy to track what happened. Dr. Frasch first stopped by a Pep Boys to pick up a gas cap for his wife’s Hummer. This was recorded on the store’s security cameras. From there, cell phone records show that he drove straight from Tallahassee to Panama City Beach, a 3-hour drive. In Panama City Beach, he was seen on Bank of America security cameras with their two daughters.  At the same time, back in Tallahassee, a neighbour and his daughter were passing by the Frasch home. Mr. Matthew Christiansen and Lauren Christiansen were out for a walk. Samira came out of the front door that morning, remote key in hand. She was heading for her Hummer SUT H2. Mr. Christiansen glanced at the scene and saw a tall, model-looking black woman put something ...
