Until I accidentally ran across this web-article, I had never heard of this case. Does anyone out there know anything more?

Thanks!
The linked article bemoans the fact that this case has not been reported widely, and then goes on and on about how terrible that is, mentioning media reporting of other crimes around the country and implying that it is predjuice or insensitivity or something that keeps it out of the news.

One has to wonder, however, why the reporter didn't take the opportunity to put out some actual facts in the case, instead of using it as an opening for a soap box diatribe.

Ten years after Iman Muhanna Mohammed was stabbed to death in the bedroom of her Metairie home, her murderer is still free, WDSU-TV reported. Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office detectives have never identified a suspect in the death of the 42-year-old teacher who was six months pregnant at the time she was killed.

Mohammed's husband, Fakhri, told investigators he left their home in the 2200 block of North Sibley Street on Dec. 17, 2004, to take their children to school. When he returned, he found her dead in their bed, stabbed 33 times.
 
On the morning of December 17, 2004, a young, pregnant mother named Iman Muhanna Mohammad was stabbed to death in the bedroom of her Metarie, LA home. Her husband, Fakhri, discovered her body when he returned home from taking the children to school. Iman Muhanna Mohammad had been stabbed thirty-three times; some of her wounds were defensive, which means she fought to save her life and that of her unborn baby girl. Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office investigators found that while the phone line had been cut, there were no other signs of forced entry. Fakhri Mohammad was cleared of any suspicion almost immediately, and the case has seen little movement since. Repeated requests for comment for this article from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office and the lead detective went unanswered...

Iman was a devout Palestinian woman and Islamic studies teacher, a graduate of the Islamic University of Gaza who helped found the Muslim Academy in Gretna, Louisiana, suburb of New Orleans. She and Fakhri were caring for two children (including his daughter from a previous marriage), and were expecting a third child. She was an admired and beloved member of the New Orleans Muslim community. Although we’re in the midst rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina’s fury, she is still deeply missed and we have not forgotten her. But what angers many of us is the silence surrounding her case...
