Those Upper West Side Mysteries Continue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                The mystery of the Farea Sisters,  Rotana, 22, and Tala, 16, is still challenging all us crime buffs.  Is theirs a political homicide, or a social tragedy?  The case seems to be made for both.

                                  It started on August 24, the last time they were seen in their hometown of Fairfax, Virginia.  It seems the girls made it on their own, to Manhattan, and, as if on borrowed time,  lived the high life, in lavish hotels, and restaurants. Sounds like a plan to me, before ending one's life.

                                   Further complications arose when the girls' mother got a call from the Saudi government, learning her daughters were seeking political asylum.  The Farea family was told it had to leave the US, which the girls emphatically did not want to do.

                                   What is more, a witness said, he saw the sisters, alive, bound together, and praying near the spot where they were found--but on land.  This raised the speculation of suicide; the sisters said they would rather do themselves harm than go back to their native country, and that it has been corroborated they walked into the water still alive, makes suicide plausible.

                                       But how do two people tie themselves to each other?  That is the question!

                                        Remember the "Law And Order" episode, "Honor," where the Afghan family was destroyed, because the daughter wanted to be truly American, and the mother loved her daughter more than the ideology?  For that, both women were killed.

                                         Perhaps the Farea Sisters are a similar circumstance.  Talk to the male members of the family, and the Saudi Arabian government.  If anyone therein is involved, all should be held accountable for a senseless tragedy.

                                            Bring justice and peace to these sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, what of Anya Johnston, the 24-year-old mentally unstable woman, who slit her neighbor's throat?  That neighbor was Susan Trott, found dead in her apartment, at 710 West End Avenue, on October 21.

Johnston had a troubled past, which included bullying at Winston Prep, a private school for disabled students. She tried to stab a classmate with a pencil, would have outbursts of anger and abrupt physical movements that would disrupt classes, and even harassed others, whom she did not want around her.

She was even institutionalized in 2014.

So, why didn't Mommy take better care, so Susan would still be alive?

Did Anya target Susan intentionally?  And how did she gain access to the woman's apartment.

While this is more cut and dried than the Farea sisters, it still raises questions as to why Anya was not protected from society better, and why it took Trott to be the object catapulting her from harassment to murder?

I will stay on these cases, and let you know more, as soon as I find out!!!!!!!!!!!!
