Callie Quinn woke up outside, badly injured and covered in a canvas tarp. She realized that she had been buried alive under about a foot of ash and returned to the house upset and badly injured. Quinn vomited blood and tried to explain what had happened, and a friend took her to the hospital.
As Quinn continued to accuse Youseff Khater of trying to kill her, he claimed that he needed to leave the country because of a death in the family. When he left, he erratically contacted both his girlfriend and several people he owed money to. Khater then assaulted a man in a similar manner — attacking him over paranoia about the money he owed. As it turns out, he was constantly on edge because he had stolen thousands of dollars from about 50 people, specifically in the running community (via Texas Monthly).
As Quinn worked together with authorities, they managed to track Khater down. During police questioning, he admitted to assaulting her.
