Saudi student fallout: Parents of slain Portland teen talk about loss, suspect's disappearance
https://www.oregonlive.com/expo/news/g66l-2019/01/036c7bae154985/saudi-student-fallout-parents-of-slain-portland-teen-talk-about-loss-suspects-disappearance.html
The suspect, Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah, was jailed and charged with first-degree manslaughter and felony hit-and-run. After his arrest, the Saudi consulate retained private defense attorneys to work on his case and cut a $100,000 check to provide him bail.
Federal law enforcement now believe the Saudi government orchestrated Noorah’s remarkable escape in June 2017. They say the Saudis furnished the young man, who studied at Portland Community College, with an illicit passport and possibly a private plane.
The Oregonian/OregonLive has since discovered similar cases in Oregon and across the country, including one in Ohio in 1988 that suggests the practice has been going on for decades.
The cases have generated international headlines, and Oregon’s U.S. senators are seeking answers on Capitol Hill.
