Who was Ammar Alyasari and what was his family like?
If you were to ask their friends and neighbors, they would tell you that the Alyasaris were a stable, happy family living a typical suburban life. But on February 4th, 2019, at 8.05 p.m., that facade would come crashing down with a frantic call to 911.
911, what is the address of the emergency? Okay. What's going on there? Okay, are you with the patient now? No, I'm outside. I'm scared to come in. Okay, how old is he? I'm scared if someone's inside.
So the initial 911 call was from Badura Eliasari, and she, during that 911 call, had told dispatchers that she walked into her home, she didn't know what had happened, that her husband was down.
Okay, is he awake? No, I don't know. I just saw him on the ground and I left. Okay, is he breathing? I talked to him, he didn't talk to me.
Nicole Matusko is a prosecutor with the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office in Lansing, Michigan.
What details emerged from the 911 call?
So some of the first questions they had for the 911 caller was, how did this happen? What did you see? Did you hear anything?
Yeah.
But Doerr told the operator that when she walked in and saw her husband laying lifeless on the floor, she immediately fled the home, fearful the attacker might still be inside.
I did not go back inside the house because I'm sure someone's still in there.
Within minutes, paramedics and deputies from the Ingham County Sheriff's Office responded to the location, the lights and sirens shattering the tranquility of the suburban street where every house has an attached garage and a tree in the front yard.
So Holt is a residential area. It was a very quiet neighborhood. It was a dead-end street. If you were to drive by the homes, you could see kids playing outside. It's just your average neighborhood community. We do have pockets of high crime, but I wouldn't call Holt one of those pockets of crimes.
Arriving deputies found Bedore crying hysterically in their front driveway.
She was frantic. She ran up to the deputies, telling them that someone could still be in her house and that her husband was down. Her friend had come over to pick up her children.
When deputies entered the home, they encountered a unsettling scene. And from someone who has handled these panicked 911 calls, I can tell you while your training kicks in, in the back of your mind, you do wonder what you're walking into. Of course, we're only human, and there are so many cases that even the most seasoned officer can be shocked by what they find. And this was one of those cases.
When first responders came to that scene, I don't believe they knew what to really expect. And they definitely didn't expect what they saw inside the home. It was a pretty violent murder. So there was blood everywhere in the hallway where Ammar was located. And there was a single light on over where his body was bound.
