The family of Donna Bennet explains their bittersweet feelings knowing for certainty their daughter is dead, but are grateful for the closure and the fact that they will finally have a kever, after six long years.
1. Other missing persons still occupying police include:
Alexandra Brandt was 9 when she disappeared on November 24, 1994. She was last seen leaving school, with witnesses giving statements a man approached her and she was walking with him. Police believe the case is criminal, not terror-related.
2. Adi Yaakobi was 16 when she disappeared on December 13, 1996 from Tel Aviv’s trendy Shenkin Street. She was on her way to a friend’s home in Netanya and has not been seen since. In this case too, police believe the motive is criminal.
3. IDF soldier Guy Chever was 20 when his disappeared on his way home from his Golan Heights area base on August 17, 1997. Some believe, based on limited information, that he was abducted and is being held in Syria. In 2005, officials admitted to reports that his beret was found in the border area. Both nationalistic and criminal motives are being investigated.
4. Andrei Bozrotzko was 17 when he disappeared on August 22, 1997. He never returned home from school. Police intelligence reports indicate he was abducted by criminal elements, beaten to death and buried in a secluded area. Reports that his presumed death was terror related have not been substantiated.
5. IDF soldier Majido Halabi was 20 when he disappeared on May 24, 2005. He left his Dalyat el-Carmel home and was not seen since. Reports indicate he took a ride from someone but this is unconfirmed. He was wearing regular clothing on that day, not his uniform. The IDF investigation ruled he was not abducted but is missing by choice, a statement that has elicited much anger from his family.
