Autopsies scheduled today for Perris woman, daughter found dead in their home

Autopsies are set for today on the bodies of a 43-year-old Perris woman and her 6-year-old daughter, apparent victims of homicide allegedly committed by the woman’s husband, who was arrested in New Mexico.

Maysam Barbar and her daughter, Tamara Barbar, were found dead in their home — 2846 Banner Place — early Saturday by police making a welfare check at the request of other family members. Maysam Barbar’s 10-year-old daughter was found unharmed.

The 10-year-old, whose name was not released, is the daughter of Maysam and Michael Barbar, 52, who is a suspect in the deaths, authorities said.

Investigators said Michael Barbar was eventually tracked to a motel in Deming, N.M., where he was taken into custody over the weekend.

” We were contacted by Riverside authorities late Saturday that there was a possibility that the suspect could be staying in a Deming motel,” said police chief Michael Carillo in Deming, a small town just east of the Arizona line, some 650 road miles from Riverside County.

Riverside County sheriff’s Investigator Dean Spivacke would not say how investigators learned that Barbar was headed to New Mexico.

”We believe he was just running,” Spivacke said today.

If the suspect waives his right to fight extradition, he could be returned to Riverside County within two weeks, Spivacke said.
