Police Suspect Eldar Dayan’s Friends Threatened to Kill Him Before His Disappearance

Israeli police investigating the disappearance of Eldar Dayan, who has been missing for over two weeks, suspect that his friends threatened to kill him shortly before he vanished. Authorities from the Central District are piecing together the events leading up to Dayan’s disappearance, focusing on a violent altercation involving Dayan and his friends. According to police, the group was involved in a fight that ended with one person being hit by a car and the group fleeing the scene. Investigators believe this incident may have prompted Dayan to flee, though they have not ruled out the possibility that he was harmed during the event and then disappeared.

Transcripts from the interrogation of a primary suspect reveal contradictions in his account of the last moments Dayan was seen. The suspect was confronted by police about abandoning Dayan at a gas station during their escape. Defense attorneys for the suspects deny all allegations. Meanwhile, Dayan’s family fears for his safety and insists he is not a suspect in any investigation. Family lawyer Sapir Perdo stated that they received information indicating the main suspect threatened Dayan’s life just before he disappeared.

Recent footage from a gas station shows Dayan shirtless, holding two shirts, one of which he puts on while handing the other to a friend. This was recorded minutes after the group abandoned their vehicle and fled. Near the location where the vehicle was found in Petah Tikva, police discovered a shirt possibly belonging to Dayan. The police continue extensive searches to solve the mystery surrounding his disappearance.
