Israeli Mother and Daughter Disappear in Vienna, Police Investigate All Leads

By כיכר השבת, דוד הכהן
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

New details have emerged in the disappearance of Israeli mother Mally Yahalomi and her daughter Liel in Vienna, Austria. Security cameras captured the two women leaving their apartment alone, taking all their personal belongings with them. The last phone location was recorded on Saturday morning near Vienna's central station, prompting authorities to review nearby surveillance footage to track their movements and determine if they boarded a train out of the city.

Austrian police have stated there is no evidence suggesting terrorism or criminal activity related to their disappearance but continue to investigate all possibilities. The search has expanded beyond Vienna and Austria to other European countries, reflecting concerns that the women may have left the country. The investigation is being conducted jointly by Vienna police and Israel's Lahav 433 fraud unit.

A Chabad emissary in Vienna reported no contact with the missing women but described a strong community effort among Austrian Jews and Israeli tourists to assist in the search. Local business owners are checking security footage and sharing information, while many individuals are actively seeking ways to help locate Mally and Liel.

A senior official involved in the investigation said the primary assumption is that the women are alive, and all scenarios are under consideration, including a planned departure or involvement of local criminal or nationalist groups. The Israeli embassy filed the missing persons report on August 10, and police have maintained close cooperation with Israeli authorities throughout the ongoing inquiry.

Summary: Israeli mother Mally Yahalomi and daughter Liel disappeared in Vienna, last seen leaving their apartment alone. Austrian police found no signs of foul play but expanded the search across Europe. Community members and authorities continue coordinated efforts to locate them.
