On August 25, 1999, one-year-old Iman Hisham Abass A. Almetnawy and her four-year-old brother Yousef were taken from their home in Euless, Texas, by their mother, Ghada Abdel Fattah Said. Ghada had legal custody at the time but left in violation of the children’s father Hirsham Almetnawy’s visitation rights; a felony warrant for Ghada was issued on November 17, 1999. Ghada was 32, an Egyptian national, described as 5 feet 2 inches and 115 pounds with black hair and black eyes.

The family may have been traveling in a silver 1989 Honda CRX, Texas plate YCJ05P, and investigators thought they might have gone to New York, Tennessee, California, or Egypt. Iman was born in Burbank, California; Yousef was born in Bedford, Texas. The case became more complicated because photos of Ghada and the children were later found in the home of Ghada’s brother, Yaser Abdel Said, who was implicated in the murders of his two teenage daughters.

Did anyone in Euless or the travel destinations listed ever see this family after August 25, 1999?
