Tampa Times Union Staff Writer

Temple Terrace- The family of a man murdered two years ago is offering a $10000 reward leading to the arrest of his killer.

On July 15th, 2002, Temple Terrace police found the partially decomposed body of Abdul Rahman al-Hamdman, 47, in his apartment at 8504 W Riverchase Drive in the Colonial Grand Apartments.

Al-Hamdman had been strangled, Temple Terrace detective Bernard Seeley said Tuesday after the agency released the reward information. Seeley also said that al-Hamdman's 1991 Nissan Maxima had been found at 4904 Nassau Street, a block from N. West Shore Boulevard, about 7 AM July 11th, 2002; four days before his body was found.

Someone had tried to set it on fire, Seeley said. The car was smoldering when Tampa police arrived. The car was impounded with no attempt to contact al-Hamdman. Seeley said the information about the car was not released earlier because the investigation "was so very active". Since then, its been a cold case with no developments.

The $10,000 reward offered Tuesday is in addition to $1,000 offered by CrimeStoppers. Anyone with Information may call Temple Terrace Police at 813-989-7110 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-873-8477.

DOCUMENTS!!!! PART 1 of 2

Attached are the Al-Hamdan Files that I received from the Temple Terrace Police Department a couple of weeks ago. I hope this is a further start to allow Mr. Al-Hamdan an online footprint and more coverage.

There isn't much information other than names and numbers (no SSN's). More than likely, the names and numbers are no longer valid. But, the documents do provide information, such as a possible workplace for him, which appears to be a place called Olympia Bakery. I further researched this workplace and it appears that it is now the Olympia Bakery and Catering Service. Hopefully these peak someone's interest and if anyone has questions, feel free to inquire!

This apartment is not located in a particularly high crime area. That makes me think this was personal, not random.

Realtor.com has a crime button and the darker the shade, the higher the crime.

Oh yes, all the signs point to a personal attack. I have a feeling it may have something to do with the arrest of the sex worker that was with him days before his murder. Abdul was doing some rather shady things prior to his death. That involved him seeing sex workers, going to adult theaters among other things. He had been separated from his wife Margie at the time because of his “roving eye”, but I personally don’t think she had anything to do with it. She was the one who found his body, and she got into hysterics apparently when she found it.

I would bet my next paycheck that it was someone that had either similar interests to Abdul, or someone he may have dealt with in the Tampa “red zones”.
