The Dammam Kidnapper: Unraveling Decades of Deceit and Stolen Identities
from Crime Night · host Crime Night
Maryam, known as the “Khatefat Al-Dammam” or “Dammam Kidnapper,” was at the center of a shocking case in Saudi Arabia involving the abduction of multiple infants from hospitals over a period of two decades. The case began to unravel when three young men—Yusuf, Musa, and Nayef—discovered that their identities had been falsified and that Maryam was not their biological mother. DNA testing and extensive police investigations revealed that she had abducted them as infants, linking her to numerous unsolved cases of child abduction. Authorities also uncovered the role of her accomplice, Sultana, and the pair’s involvement in selling kidnapped children as well as practicing sorcery and witchcraft. Despite the severe trauma caused by these crimes, the victims themselves advocated for leniency in Maryam’s sentencing, acknowledging that she had raised them. This led to a life imprisonment verdict rather than the death penalty.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/crimenight1Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
