Two suspects, 72, from Ramat Hasharon, and 59, from Ramle, were arrested by the police after trying to blackmail the father of 34-year-old Noga Yitzhak from Tel Aviv who has been missing since November 2018.
The two contacted the father of the missing woman claiming to have information about his daughter's whereabouts.
As soon as the investigation began, the suspicion arose that the two men intended to extort money from the father of the missing woman, cynically exploiting his distress, after he offered a large financial reward to anyone providing information that could lead to her whereabouts.
At the end of their interrogation, one of the suspects was sent to house arrest for five days while the second suspect was arrested and his remand extended by the court until tomorrow.
