Michigan Man Plotted Bizarre Kidnapping Scheme

A man living in Royal Oak, Michigan, met a woman online who lived in Windsor, Ontario, who had a four-year-old son. The man became obsessed with the woman's child, claiming he wanted to be the boy's father.

He allegedly drove to the Detroit River with a kayak, bicycle, ski mask, black hat, and a taser, paddled across the river, and snuck into the woman's home and attempted to strangle her. She fought back and managed to pull the ski mask off, and see it was the man she had been dating.

Michigan Man Accused Of Planning Abduction

According to the Windsor Star, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan, Shahza Hameedi, dated a Chinese woman living in Windsor, Ontario.  She let Hameedi spend some private time with her four-year-old son, and both times he came back with scratches and bruises.

U.S. authorities said that Hameedi became fixated on taking custody of the boy he barely knew, which culminated with an alleged sexual assault so violent that the child was hospitalized.

Investigators found a plethora of incriminating evidence when they searched Hameedi's home. He is currently in U.S. custody, and after he stands trial here, he will be served with a Windsor police warrant for charges of aggravated sexual assault, sexual interference, two counts of assault, choking, possession of a prohibited weapon, and assault causing bodily harm.
