A black SUV pulled up to Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah’s home in Southeast Portland two weeks before his June 2017 trial.
Noorah, a Saudi national charged the year before in the fatal hit-and-run of a teenage girl crossing Hawthorne Boulevard, had a bag packed that Saturday afternoon.
The private car drove the 21-year-old Portland Community College student to a sand-and-gravel yard two miles away.
That’s where Noorah sliced off the tracking monitor he had worn around his ankle for months, according to interviews with federal authorities. He then discarded it at the scene before vanishing, leaving a victim’s family crushed and prosecutors furious and flummoxed.
Law enforcement officials now say they believe Noorah got an illicit passport and boarded a plane — likely a private carrier — to flee the country.
Despite unknowns in the ongoing investigation, officials with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Marshals Service are all but certain who helped orchestrate the remarkable escape: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
U.S. officials learned only recently from the Saudi government that Noorah arrived back home 18 months ago.
“We’re doing everything we can to get him back,” said Eric Wahlstrom, a supervisory deputy U.S. marshal in Oregon.
Prosecutors still hope to try Noorah in the death of 15-year-old Fallon Smart.

Portland is a hotbed of radical Muslim activity.
Intel was stupid enough to hire some of them.
saudi should have been our first target after 9/11.
Will Trump be able to sweep it under the rug. Eliminating SA students would be better but not easier.
Just like the Boston Bombers’ pal. Flown out of the country the next day. The corruption runs deep here...
Kaepernick?
You can run from the law, that probably would have slapped his wrist but you can’t run from your own conscience.
His guilt will eat at him until death. Then he will face another judge.
You are assuming he has a conscience and that it would affect him in this matter. He probably shrugs it all off....
In your dreams. That girl means nothing to him. Not now, never
You assume he has the same conscience as you of what would cause guilt. I don’t think this is the case here.
The United States does not have an extradition treaty with Saudi Arabia. So Trump would have to move heaven and earth to get this guy back.
But Trump should try it anyway! Most people would applaud the move. It would show the world that yes, we do value the lives of American citizens. And as an added bonus, it would embarrass Saudi Arabia.
So does Trump have the moxie to give it a go?
Side note to Mr. Trump: Don’t ask yourself “What would George W. Bush do?” Ask yourself “What would Teddy Roosevelt do?”
Trump knows enough about the Saudis that he could get him back tomorrow morning.
Perhaps we should ask why judges allow FOREIGN NATIONALS to post bail, or is that too sensitive a question...when the objective is to make Trump look bad by continuing to bash Saudi Arabia.

Probably not. If he’s a typical hard-line Saudi Islamist, he views women as chattel. And that goes double if the woman is an infidel. So running over this woman would be no worse than running over, say, a dog.
I read a story somewhere - maybe it was here on Free Republic - about radio transmissions during the First Gulf War. The Saudi pilots (our great allies) would simply refuse to talk to American military females on the radio. Great guys, the Saudis.
I don’t believe what the New York Times writes.
A newspaper from Oregon....ARE YOU KIDDING?
I have no idea what the article says. I only know that it is worthless.
Welcome to the real world of former respecters of a free press.
Wouldn’t waste my time.
Bkmk Oregon
