Lior Katz, 44, from Tel Aviv, has been missing since last Thursday, November 5, after returning from a psychiatric emergency room at Abarbanel. She has been diagnosed with schizophrenia for many years, and during her last visit to the ER she was diagnosed with psychosis due to non-compliance with medication. She refused hospitalization, and her father brought her back to her home in the Kerem HaTeimanim neighborhood. The next day, her traces disappeared. Dozens of police officers are participating in the searches, including scans of shelters, distribution of flyers, and checking cameras. Her father, Avner, said she left her phone and keys on the windowsill, and that she had three previous suicide attempts. Police said they do not recall a disappearance case with no sign at all. The article describes severe mental distress and brings quotes from the father and police sources.
