Episode Details

A former boxing champion and refugee turned humanitarian, Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, is now facing murder charges after the grisly discovery of aid worker Elisabeth Jane Ross’s body in a suitcase inside an abandoned Athens building. Once orphaned in Kabul and surviving harrowing journeys through Iran and Turkey, Ahmadzai built a new life in Greece with his American wife and founded a charity for refugees—possibly where he met Ross. Police say he had access to her apartment, was seen carrying a suspicious suitcase, and used her bank cards. Evidence includes a replica gun and knife found at his home, plus location data placing him near the crime scene. A toxicology report is underway, and investigators are hunting down Ross’s “American friends.” Flowers left at the site reflect the global outpouring of grief for this courageous aid worker.
