He survived, he is practically unharmed. They are treating me like a suspect. Now an undercover plan to solve the mystery. Step out of the car right now. Was the real mastermind . I wanted to be wrong. I really wanted to be wrong. The American Dream so many of us want, a loving family, the honest job, the home you can afford, the idea that you can start over here. And in this new country that better life will be yours. This is a story about that dream , about a family that worked for it, and then what happened to them. This wasnt part of anyones dream. Caller yeah, well, someone just broke into our house, they tied me and my mom up. How could this happen in a Gated Community they worked so hard to have . Caller i dont know, they just beat me up. Who deserved it less than this woman . My mom brought the heart to the family. Ryan was the baby of the family, spoiled rotten, by his mother, ariette. We couldnt function without my mom. Fullservice mom. Oh yeah, she did it all. She was a very nice, sweet lady. She showed her love through food. Her cakes were legendary. Making every birthday that much more special, says her older son, richard. She made this good upside down pineapple cake. It was phenomenal. Growing up richard was inseparable from his mom. Was she like the other moms that your friends had . No, i think she was more conservative side. Conservative, because of where she came from. Ariette was born in egypt and came to the u. S. At 29 years old. Her family settled in northern california. Ariette let a comfortable come allamerican life, but cultural ties are strong, and ariette was called back to egypt to meet a man. When my mom went to meet him, she really liked him. She would reminisce about how the romance blossomed. You cant just go out on dates and stuff, so they went together to the movie theater, and then when it got dark my dad reached over and gave her like a kiss on the cheek. It was a big deal for her, i think that almost sealed the deal. It was in the american way of falling in love, but ariet seemed happy. She married two weeks later in egypt and moved to california. Richard was born, and five years later, came ryan. Richard was delighted to have a brother to play with and to watch over. You are his protector, big brother . I always keep an eye on him. We get along like best friends. I always looked up to him. Their dad was the classic hardworking immigrant, earning his license to become a Respiratory Therapist, then magdi put in endless hours to keep a roof over their head and close on their backs. He came from a poor country, so he was working hard to build things up and try to establish a life. Magdi emphasized Education Teaching both his sons math at an early age. He saved to help them all prosper. And they felt he would do anything to keep his family safe. You didnt want your family to get pushed around . Not at all. It took many years of hard work saving, and investing, but magdi put together enough money to buy this home in a Gated Community, in the city of westminster, a quiet town in Orange County, california. The family was well on its way to living out the dream ariet and magdi worked so hard to build. September 29th, 2004, all of it came crashing down. Ryan, then 17, was out with friends and stayed out later than he was supposed to. When did you get home . Like 1 00 malone 30 that night. I went through the back door and went upstairs. His dad was not at home, his mom, a sleep. I was fixing up my ipod, and i fell asleep to music that night. Next thing i know i hear a door open, and first instinct was maybe it was my brother. His older brother, richard, his best friend and protector, coming home from work or so he thought. But it was not richard. I kind of looked back, thats when i felt like a hand being placed on my mouth. And it was a hand with some type of cotton glove. Can you see who it is . I noticed a black male, heavyset, i was yelling for my mom to help me, and i was really scared. Ryan says he fought the intruder. I bit down on the hand and rolled off the bed, then popped up, and i was shoved into the wall. Hes telling me to shut up and calm down. The man put duct tape over ryans mouth and started taping his hands and feet together. Right after that a second suspect comes inside, and he starts making threats to me, like dont get your mom killed. That had to be terrifying. Yeah, i was really terrified. What did you think was going on . I didnt know, i thought maybe a robbery or something. A terrifying situation was about to get much worse. Specter the hallway i saw my mom yelling take anything you want, take anything you want, and after that, i just noticed i was taking my mom away towards her bedroom. Ryans attacked or dragged him into the closet, but then noticed the duct tape was slipping around ryans hands. I heard him taking shoestring from my shoes. The man tied ryans hands behind his back. Through the closet door ryan pleaded with his attacker. I told him please dont kill me, and i started praying, and during that time he was like i know your circumstances, i know what youre going through, im not going to kill you. I know your circumstances. Strange as those words sounded ryan found them somehow comforting. After that i started to feel a little sense of relief. Then ryan heard a sound that would come to haunt him. I heard like cutting sheets. I didnt know it was going on. And what was going on was worse than anything he could have imagined. Coming up. Caller they will kill you. Apparent call to 911 and another to his brother. I was really freaking out like whats going on . What really happened inside that house . Oh my god.

Ryan girgis had just been through a terrifying ordeal. Two men breaking into his home in a Gated Community ryan girgis had just been through a terrifying ordeal. Two men breaking into his home in a Gated Community in the middle of the night. Both guys were really huge, like their whole persona was just like gangsters and like thugs. Youd never seen them before . Never. They tied him up, threw him in a closet, but not before he saw one of the men drag his mother into her bedroom. He says he thought he heard the men walk out, thought he heard a car drive away. But for a few more moments ryan sat in that dark closet, heart thumping my friend he says, to come out. It was now or never. He managed to untie himself and grabbed his cell phone. I went down the hallway, i looked to the right really quickly, i noticed that the door was like in like a closed position into my mothers bedroom. Why didnt you check on her . I wanted to get out and come out with help. You got to be thinking about how your mother is. He ran outside the house and called 911. Caller what happened . Caller two black guys just jumped in my house and started yelling at me [ bleep ] dont make me have to kill you. I will kill you, dont get your moms killed. Ryan called his dad, magdi. He asked if ryan was okay, and where ariet was. Ryan didnt know. Ryan called his older brother richard, who was working the night shift at the queen mary hotel. What did richard say . He questioned if i was all right, he questioned where is mom . He questioned who he thinks it is. Why would he think you might know who broken . He felt like i was the one who got tied up and things like that, they came into my room, so he just was like questioning like is a something to do with you . Do they have a personal vendetta on you or anything . As youll see, thats a question that would come up again. After ryans Call Richard Left work and drove to the house, but the police tape was already up, and they wouldnt let him through. I was really freaking out like whats going on . Whats going on . I was asking them, like where is my mom at . Police took richard and ryan to the station. The boys were surprised to find themselves split up and sitting in separate interview rooms. Ryans hands were bagged to preserve any evidence, but before detectives could ask too many questions richard asked one of his own. What happened to my mom . Please. Before your mom is dead. Oh no. Shes not, no shes not. I didnt hear that. I didnt hear that. Ryan says he didnt know what was happening then, but he could tell it was bad. Oh my god. Oh my god. I just hear like a scream, and i am like, what just happened . That sounds like richard, my brother. And he is screaming to the top of his lungs. Shes not. Shes not. You can just hear richard . I can hear him going hysterical in the other room. Ive never heard him scream like that. Does my Little Brother now . Police told ryan the same news that their mother, ariet, had been murdered. Other carps then the cops started asking other questions. Police took cotton swabs, fingerprints, dna. They treating you like a suspect . They are treating me like a suspect at this point. Did you have a chance to check on your mom . I just ran out of the house. I have to pass by my moms room. Yeah. I didnt even look i didnt even look at, ran as fast as i can. Richard was facing questions are slightly different, but just as skeptical. Why would someone pick your house and breakin i dont know, i wish i knew. I dont know. Cops to get fingerprints and or dna . Yeah. Expected do you think to yourself they are looking at me as a suspect . Yeah. It was scary. Ive never been in that situation. The Detectives Zinged to linger on his brother, ryan. This wouldnt be directed against him that you know of . I mean i dont know, dude. The first reaction i was like was it one of your friends, did someone breakin or something . That was your first reaction . As police continued their questioning one question stood out above all. Why would these two thugs come into your house, basically not hurt you, and really brutally kill your mother and leave behind a witness . Yeah. This investigation was about to take a turn no one expected. Coming up. Two ghosts just walked in and committed the ultimate crime. Dna and csi. What will the evidence reveal .

Ryan girgis was attacked in his own home and, hours later, ask your Eczema Specialist given the worst news imaginable. M ryan girgis was attacked his own home and given the worst news imaginable. While he escaped his mom, ariet, had not. She was dead. All of which begged oppressing question. Why would they kill her and leave me . Police and his own brother were asking the same thing. How many murders do you get in westminster . Not many really. Deputy da in Orange County, california, the Ariet Girgis Case landed on her desk. Its the most thing people would fear to be home in the sanctity of your home asleep in your bed and have intruders come in and do the unthinkable. Police found ariets body near her bed. She had been stabbed multiple times. The audit tearing sound ryan hurd, investigators believed it was the sound of the knife ripping through the mattress as killers slit her throat. Was the knife found at the scene . It was not. James was a Patrol Officer at the time. The details of the crime scene pointed to something other than a Home Invasion robbery. In part because nothing appeared to have been stolen. This was not a burglary in which there was Collateral Damage . Definitely not. Cash was in plain sight, jewelry, even ryans ipod and new dock all untouched. The house wasnt even rummaged through. Whats more is this was Gated Community, the killers would have needed a gate code to get in. This starts getting more interesting. As to who could have done it. Crime scene investigators collected mounds of evidence, and surprisingly, with all that blood not a single trace of unknown dna. All the dna results matched the people who lived in the house, ariet, magdi, richard, and ryan, the witness who for some reason was left alive. Two guys came into the house, beat up ryan, tie him up, then kill ariet in a brutal hands on way and Leave No Trace . Thats what it looked like, and looked like two ghosts walked in and committed the ultimate crime. It seemed improbable, and it encouraged detectives to look closely at ryan. He claimed to be a victim, but was he really . Police learned the friend he was with the night of the murder had offered ryan a knife for protection, just hours before ryans mother was brutally killed with a knife, a knife that had not been found. They also learned ryan smoked marijuana and not just at the occasional party. He smoked every day, and he wasnt just smoking. I was helping someone with like, selling like narcotics and stuff. What kind of narcotics . Marijuana. Small amounts were found in ryans room along with a set of bags, tinfoil, and a bong. And more, like the description he gave about the suspects. Both black, male, as if they were from gangs. We werent sure if that was true. Claiming two black men for the murders seemed too convenient. If beaten by gang members bigger than he was, why didnt he look like it . Theres no question if ryan had been in a serious duking it out fight with a couple of guys, then he would have ended up more battered. If the guys wanted to hurt him worse definitely so, yes. And remember, ryan told police one suspect said i know your circumstances, im not going to kill you. Is that true . If so, what did it mean . And then there was the issue of ryan claiming to have left the house before he so much as took a peek into his mothers bedroom. Is a detective you have to consider why. Detectives soon found out ryan had more dark secrets than they realized. Coming up. Hes the only one who survived, he is practically unharmed. New questions for ryan, and a new clue. Had he received a warning before the attack . It popped up like you better watch your back, i know where you leave. Gamechanga . While the flexdisc contours to it.
