New Reward Offered For Fugitive Accused Of Murdering Daughters

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The FBI has announced a new $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Yaser Abdel Said, who is accused of murdering his two teenaged daughters.

On New Year's Day nearly six years ago, Said told his daughters Amina, 18, and Sarah Said, 17, he would take them to get something to eat.  Instead, he drove them to Irving, Texas, where law enforcement authorities say he fatally shot both girls several times inside his taxi cab.  Said has been charged with two counts of capital murder.

Said was last seen in Irving in 2008, but the FBI warns he could be hiding out in North Texas, New York City, Canada or Egypt.  Said is 56 years old, 6'2" tall, and 180 pounds with a medium complexion. He has brown eyes and black hair.  Said could be working as a taxi driver and is known to frequent diners including Denny's and IHOP.  He smokes Marlboro Lights 100's cigarettes.

Anyone with information about where he is, should call the Dallas FBI office at 972-559-5000 or submit their tips online at http://tips.fbi.gov.  Said should be considered armed and dangerous.
