Mohammed Abequa

Mohammed Abequa is a Jordanian citizen and naturalized American citizen who murdered his estranged wife in July 1994 in Parsippany, New Jersey, kidnapped their two children, and fled to his country of origin. Abequa became the subject of an international manhunt when the murder was discovered. He avoided the efforts of government prosecutor Michael Murphy to extradite and try him due to the lack of an extradition treaty between Jordan and the United States.
