Kidnapping, accident, or planned disappearance? The scenarios being examined in the Vienna search

The investigation into the disappearance of Mally and Liel Yahalomi in Vienna has been transferred to the Lahav 433 unit, and an Interpol representative has been sent to Vienna. Scenarios of kidnapping, accident, or intentional disappearance are being examined, after the possibility of hospitalization in hospitals was ruled out. The family is furious about incorrect reports, and family member Ronen landed in Vienna to join the search.

The investigation into the disappearance of Mally and Liel Yahalomi, an Israeli mother and daughter missing in Vienna since last Friday, was transferred this evening (Wednesday) to the Lahav 433 unit, under the directive of Police Commissioner R.N. Danny Levy. Investigators from the national unit for combating economic crime were appointed to the investigation team due to their expertise in locating virtual economic traces. An Israeli police representative at Interpol was sent to Vienna, and the Mossad and Shin Bet are also partners in the investigation. A command center was established to manage the investigation, operating 24/7. As part of the investigation, all directions are being examined, including a dedicated team for thinking about "out of the box" scenarios. The possibility of involvement in a traffic accident followed by hospitalization as unidentified persons was examined, but all hospitals were checked and the possibility was ruled out. The background investigation did not raise any indication of threats, but there is a suspicion that they withdrew a large sum of money and turned off the last location identification app on the phone. The family is furious at police sources "who are briefing incorrect and misleading information." The Israel Police says that the Austrian police are treating the mystery seriously and have escalated the investigation to a national unit for complex incidents. Claims of foot-dragging in unloading cameras are unfounded, according to them, due to the need for warrants and legal accompaniment. The vacation apartment was found empty of belongings, and there is still no lead. The family has not yet been questioned by the Austrian police, and contact is being made through the consulate. There is no official announcement from the Austrian authorities, and the Austrian media are barely covering the event. Ronen Yahalomi, Mally's son and Liel's brother, landed in Vienna at noon to join the search.
