The first person to experience fraud at the hand of Youssef Khater was Callie Quinn. Among all his victims, Quinn shows up most in the series. Per Texas Monthly, Quinn is a native Texan who moved to Chile in 2011. Once she arrived in Chile, she squared away work, and she needed a place to live. She found a large house, described like a hostel, where Khater also lived. It’s here that things start to go wrong for Quinn.

A supposed marathon runner who was known to tell grandiose tales of his time spent in Danish special forces, Quinn and Khater did not get along right away. Many of Quinn and Khater’s shared roommates fell under his sway, though, and eventually, Quinn succumbed to his charms. Khater claimed to be Palestinian. Soon, Khater announced he had purchased a condo building in Santiago and was looking for renters. Quinn was interested, paying Khater $1,000. The condo in question never materialized, and Khater would end up bludgeoning Quinn. She would survive, but Khater’s crimes only worsened from there.
