Century City stabbing: The plot thickens

Police have determined that the vehicle used by the perpetrator in the slaying of a woman in a Century City parking garage was rented with a credit card bearing the name of her estranged husband, a federal prosecutor said today. The credit card was seized from the wallet of James Fayed during a recent search of his Moorpark ranch house, said Assistant U.S. Atty. Mark R. Aveis. The license plate of the vehicle was caught on security surveillance cameras and traced to an Avis rental car agency near Fayed’s Camarillo business, he said. Aveis’ comments came as Fayed appeared in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles to face felony charges of conducting unlicensed money transactions through the international gold trading company he ran with his wife, Pamela. Fayed was arrested Friday evening and remains in federal custody. Read the whole story here.

Fayed is allegedly a cousin of Dodi Fayed, of Princess Di infamy. Are the Fayeds a "curse" to the women they marry or have affairs with? Can there be some bad karma to do with how the clan first got its money -- if we're going into a "plot?"
