Has anyone been reading this sorrowful news about two sisters originally from Saudi Arabia who lived in Fairfax County, Va., and were found washed ashore in NYC?

If you read several accounts, the story is harrowing in what might be the possibilites for their death. Somehow, I am in agreement with those who think this might have been an "honor killing" by males in their own family or reps from Saudi Arabia.

Horrible, no matter who did the killing. I doubt if this was a suicide, as some have speculated; something is very fishy about the entire story. The account I provided in the link does not tell the full story and possible explanations.

@golding76@I think it is an honor killing....very sad deaths.

I've been reading about this sad case since the girls were first discovered and hadn't been identified yet.

They were fearful for their lives. I don't have any idea what happened, but I am not leaning toward suicide

They were lovely girls bright, and pretty. It is such a pity. God rest their souls

What is odd is that the father lives and works in Saudi Arabia, and we have not heard from him yet. Supposedly, the girls were the "apples of his eye," as I have read.

I have read that the younger had run away but once it was discovered she was with her older sister, the pursuit for her was dropped. Shockingly, it has been conjectured that the girls were "done away with" by a squad from Saudi Arabia (much like what happened to Adnan Khashoggi in Turkey) or even -- get this -- that the Saudis hired the Mafia to do the girls in.

Too much to take in...

(Yes, the first thing out of my mouth when I saw their photos was "What pretty girls.")

That killing was so horrific. I hope they find who is behind all of this...Did they ever locate the body of A. K. ?

Not that I know of, Cherry. Dismembered pieces are hard to find, I would think, and Turkey is a very large country.

The poor Turks. They are always being chastised for certain rough behaviors, but in this A.K. tragedy, they are beyond reproach. To my way of thinking, the Turks have been very civilized and sensitive during the A.K. horror.
