Details of Disappearance
Nahida Khatib, a Muslim, Lebanese-born woman,Khatib vanished on October 1, 1976, from her home in the 4000 block of Menomonee River Parkway.
She left behind her purse, keys, shoes and clothes. Food, ready to be cooked, sat on the stove and meat was left thawing on the counter top. There was a half-empty cup of coffee. Her 2-year-old niece was unattended in a playpen.
The only items missing were Nahida's furry slippers and bathrobe. After 10 years of marriage, Nahida was in the throes of a nasty divorce from her husband.
From the beginning detectives suspected foul play. Investigators believed that Khatib’s husband was involved in her disappearance. Immediately after police started questioning the husband about the disappearance of Nahida, he retained a defense lawyer and questioning stopped. He was never charged with the crime; there was no evidence, no body or sign of struggle. The husband died in 2001.
There's a strong chance she is the Doe found in Wauwatosa, but we have to wait for the DNA.
