Yasmine was a 19-year-old Cairo University student who disappeared in 2004 under mysterious circumstances. The case revealed a chilling deception orchestrated by Mohamed El-Masry, a young man who felt too “unworthy” to approach her directly. To gain Yasmine’s attention, he impersonated his wealthy cousin, Amr, creating an elaborate false identity. Believing she was meeting Amr, Yasmine went to the arranged meeting, only to be abducted and ultimately murdered by El-Masry. The police investigation traced her disappearance, uncovered the truth behind the false persona, and led to the discovery of her body. Mohamed El-Masry eventually confessed to the crime and was sentenced to death, bringing the case to a grim close.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/crimenight1Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
