"LIVERMORE - Her name was Sara Abdelhadi and the last six months of her life were a living hell. There were threats, nonconsensual posts of intimate visuals to social media, incidents of harassment at the Concord mall where she worked, and finally, a kidnapping that resulted in the 23-year-old Pleasant Hill woman jumping from a car as it raced down Interstate 580 in Livermore, according to police. It was a desperate, final attempt to escape a man who seemed obsessed with her."
"Abdelhadi's abductor has been identified as 23-year-old Mohammed Yousef Omar, a Hayward resident, and authorities don't know his whereabouts. But on Sept. 23 - nearly a year to the day after Abdelhadi's death - Alameda County prosecutors charged Omar with felony counts of murder, involuntary manslaughter, kidnapping, vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence leaving the scene of an accident and a misdemeanor charge of damaging the cell phone of a witness."
Sara Abdelhadi endured six months of stalking, threats, nonconsensual posting of intimate visuals and harassment at her workplace. She was kidnapped and jumped from a moving car on Interstate 580 in Livermore to escape. After she fell, multiple vehicles fatally struck her while the alleged kidnapper fled. Authorities identified the suspect as 23-year-old Mohammed Yousef Omar and charged him with murder, involuntary manslaughter, kidnapping, vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, leaving the scene and a misdemeanor for damaging a witness's cell phone. Omar called 911 only after driving 13 miles to a relative's home and described the death as a suicide. Investigators uncovered patterns of torment, stalking and domestic violence during a six-month relationship marked by threats and persistent harassment when Abdelhadi tried to distance herself.
