Eldar Dayan's mother said tonight that 'whoever needs to pay will pay,' after his vehicle was found abandoned in Petah Tikva, according to Israeli media. The vehicle was located earlier and two friends have been arrested, as The Zioneer reported.
The mother of missing 20-year-old Eldar Dayan said Monday evening that "whoever needs to pay will pay," after her son's vehicle was found abandoned in Petah Tikva earlier in the day. The statement came as two of Dayan's friends remain arrested on suspicion of involvement, as The Zioneer reported at 19:04.
The disappearance first came to light over a week ago, when Dayan, a resident of Dimona, was last seen on July 17 in Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park area. On Monday morning, Israeli media reported that police had issued a public appeal and that two associates had been taken into custody. By 10:19, the reports solidified that the two were arrested in connection with the disappearance. At 19:04, The Zioneer reported that Dayan's vehicle had been located abandoned in Petah Tikva and that the two friends were arrested. The source quality evolved from initial Channel 12 reports to confirmation by i24NEWS and other outlets.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, Dayan's last contact was a message to his girlfriend saying "there's a mess here, I'll talk to you when we get there." His phone has been off since. Police have said they suspect he may have been involved in a violent incident, and have appealed for public assistance.
Dayan's whereabouts remain unknown. The investigation is ongoing, with no further details on the circumstances of his disappearance or the possible involvement of the arrested individuals.
