Who Killed Samira DS Frasch?

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...

Gerald Gardner claimed he "found" Samira in the water. All the evidence pointed to him being the one who put her there. Samira was alive when she went into the water. The medical examiner said she had died by drowning, not because of the blows to her head. A prison snitch told a lurid story of Dr. Frasch putting his wife into the cold pool to hide the time of death. In fact, Samira wasn’t dead and anyone with medical training would have known that. If he had done it, he was guilty of a single blow to the head, nothing more. The medical examiner testified that it was unlikely she would have died due to the blow or due to the impact of hitting the hard ground. No one paused to consider that it was unlikely that Dr. Frasch would go from facing a possible assault charge to risking facing a first-degree murder charge. The person who put Samira in the water did so in a panic, thinking her injuries were more serious than they were. This profile fits the handyman, not her husband. He...

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 h...
