On June 6th, 2017, Amal Bahjat was found murdered in her home in Surprise, Arizona. On a wall in the house, a message had been scrawled in Arabic—what seemed a warning from the killer or killers, since Amal, a former Muslim, had converted to Christianity and was vocal about her new faith. Amal was active on a television ministry broadcast for the Kurdish community in the US—but only as someone who called in to bear her testimony of Jesus Christ. She never appeared physically on any television program or video. Although her murder may appear to have been a consequence of Amal’s conversion and activity in the ministry, the host Eileen sees it differently. After going through public documents and forensic evidence, she strongly believes that her friend’s murder was not motivated by religion—but that she was killed by someone close to her. A month prior to her murder, Amal called 911 and reported a kidnapping attempt. Two policemen showed up at her residence in Surprise, but found Amal utterly calm and collected. She didn’t show any sign of fear or stress. In addition, according to people close to her, Amal had received phone threats in the days leading up to her murder. But Amal never reported these to the police, nor did their postmortem investigation turn up any suspicious messages or voice mails in her phone record. Amal’s husband Jihad was also a convert to Christianity. Yet she alone fell victim to the alleged extremist’s attack. This case was solvable back in 2017—but the police of Surprise botched it. Eileen exposes the incompetence of the local detectives, and their mishandling of crucial evidence. Please join Eileen as she unravels the threads of the unsolved murder of her friend. The story has never been told until now—and the rabbit hole she went down will thrill and appall you with its many twists and turns.Copyright 2025 Eileen Zenn Crímenes Reales Espiritualidad Política y Gobierno

    May 27 2025

    This episode is about the phone detail records of Amal and Jihad’s cell phones.

    Although the police report does not give much info about Amal’s phone details from that morning of June 5th, 2017, one text stood out, and that is a Whatsapp message that was sent from Amal’s phone to none other than her spouse. It might sound normal at first, Until you learn where was Amal when the message was sent and the content of what she wrote.

    Host Eileen Zenn, interviewed both Jihad's friend Ibtisam and her brother Saleh, who after all these years remembered details about their phone calls with Jihad on that fateful day of the crime. Details they didn’t share with the police back in 2017, but ones that they have finally come forward with.

    Tune in to learn about it.
