Overview
- Israel's Lahav 433 has taken charge of the multinational investigation and is working with Austrian police and international agencies to trace Mali and Liel Yahalomi.
- Investigators obtained new CCTV that shows the mother and daughter leaving their Vienna lodging carrying personal belongings with no other person visible.
- Austrian media and police sources report growing confidence that the two left Austria voluntarily and may have traveled to South America, but that claim has not been independently confirmed.
- Israel Police say detectives have made progress mapping the pair's timeline and currently assess the two may be alive.
- A court gag order restricts public updates as the Bank of Jerusalem says its internal review found no sign of embezzlement and the Yahalomi family has urged authorities to examine every possible lead and asked the public not to spread rumors.
