Israeli police are preparing to send previously unexamined evidence from the murder scene of Tair Rada to a specialized laboratory in the United States for analysis. The evidence includes hair samples belonging to Rada and another individual, along with other findings from the crime scene. This development comes after a special investigative team was formed within the Tel Aviv District's Central Investigations Unit (YAMAR) to re-examine the cold case.
The samples were collected recently by forensic identification lab personnel and YAMAR investigators with the goal of exhausting all testing possibilities to help solve the case. The transfer of evidence is awaiting special approval from senior police officials. The testing is estimated to cost several hundred thousand shekels, possibly more.
A source familiar with the investigation stated that very few people are privy to the renewed inquiry, emphasizing a near-total information blackout. "These are very expensive laboratory tests, but our goal is to get to the truth," the source said. Police are reportedly pinning significant hopes on the results, believing they could be crucial to advancing the investigation.
The Tair Rada murder case was transferred from the Northern District's YAMAR to the Tel Aviv District's YAMAR in July of last year. Police stated at the time that this is a standard procedure for unsolved murder cases spanning many years, allowing a new team to review all investigative materials.
