Overview

• Police say the 93-year-old survivor died in April 2024 and was buried in the yard of her Karmiel home after two days in an industrial freezer.
• Investigators allege relatives continued collecting Israeli and German survivor benefits totaling about 18,000 shekels per month, exceeding 300,000 shekels overall.
• The inquiry began when another daughter contacted police in late September, leading to forcible entry, cadaver dogs, and heavy machinery searches.
• The daughter's partner died by suicide in custody shortly before the body was located, according to police.
• Authorities report the body has now received a proper Jewish burial, and the planned indictment includes fraud, obstruction, failure to report a death, and breach of legal duty.
