37 years after the murder of 13-year-old Oren Bahrami, former police investigator Pinchas Haim (Shugon) reveals in an interview with Maariv the details of the investigation conducted without technological means. The boy went out to ride his bike in the Bat Yam and Jaffa area and disappeared; his body was found at the Jaffa port. Shugon recounts the secret infiltration of a criminal hub at Gan HaPisga in Old Jaffa, the arrest operation in the Gaza Strip during the First Intifada, and the reconstruction in which the suspects led the investigators to the murder weapon and hidden evidence. The motive for the murder, according to the suspects' confessions, was their fear that the boy, whom they thought was Gazan, would expose the sexual assault after they realized he was Jewish. Shugon harshly criticizes the police's current over-reliance on technology at the expense of traditional detective work.
