N12 reporter Dean Fisher reports that an examination of German airlines' internal systems shows the two missing Israeli women, Mali and Liel Yahalomi, flew with Lufthansa to Argentina. The report comes behind the official Vienna police statement on the case.
Today, N12 reporter Dean Fisher reported that an examination of German airline internal systems has revealed that the two missing Israeli women, Mali and Liel Yahalomi, flew with Lufthansa to Argentina. The report emerges behind the official statement by Vienna police, which had not disclosed this specific finding.
The development follows a week of rapidly evolving reports. On Tuesday, Austrian media first reported that the mother and daughter had left Vienna voluntarily, claiming they fled by train to Germany and then left Europe. Additional reports that day suggested destinations in South America or South Africa, with i24NEWS citing Austrian police sources indicating South Africa. By the evening of Tuesday August 11, Vienna police officially confirmed that the women had departed Austria of their own accord and stated there was no suspicion of a violent crime. Throughout the investigation, evidence emerged of a large cash withdrawal and the deletion of location data from their mobile devices, consistent with a planned disappearance.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, the case prompted a broad international search involving Austrian police, the Mossad, and the Shin Bet. The family, represented by Ronen Yahalomi, continued to push for a comprehensive search even as evidence of voluntary departure accumulated.
The N12 report is based on internal airline check-in and booking systems, but has not yet been publicly confirmed by Austrian or Israeli authorities. The precise location of the women in Argentina, if the report is accurate, remains unverified. Reports continue to monitor the investigation.
