Private  Jet, Illicit Passport for Fleeing a Saudi Man Accused of Murder

Local Editor

US officials say they are doing everything they can to get a man from Saudi Arabia back in the United States after he fled on what investigators believe to have been an illicit passport on board a private jet with the help of his country's consulate.

Abdulrahman Semeer Noorah denied the manslaughter of 15-year-old Fallon Smart who was hit by his gold Lexus when he illegally swerved around stopped traffic letting the teenager cross the road in Portland, Oregon in August 2016.

The Portland Community College man went missing June 10, 2017 – just two weeks before he was due to stand trial - and the Saudi government confirmed to US Marshals this July that Noorah had returned to Saudi Arabia seven days after he went missing.

KSA has no extradition agreement with the USA.

'We're doing everything we can to get him back,' Eric Wahlstrom, a supervisory deputy US Marshal in Oregon told Oregon Live.

Noorah skipped bail in Portland, Oregon after the Saudi consulate posted $100,000 bond in 2016.

Fresh revelations say the Saudi citizen, then 21, packed a bag, was picked up by a private black GMC Yukon XL car that drove him two miles to a sand-and-gravel yard, then he cut off the tracking device on his ankle before beginning his journey back home. Noorah has been given permission from Kolberg, to study at college that afternoon but that's not where the SUV took him.
