Twist in Tair Rada murder probe: hairs and evidence to be sent for testing in the United States

In depth

The re-formed Tel Aviv District Major Crimes investigation team is preparing to send hairs of Tair Rada, may she rest in peace, and of another person, along with forensic samples not yet tested, to a specialized laboratory in the United States. The testing is expected to cost hundreds of thousands of shekels.

The investigation is being conducted under a veil of secrecy and unusual gag orders. The new investigation team is trying to make a breakthrough following the acquittal of Roman Zadorov, a suspect arrested in the case. Police hope the tests will help achieve significant progress in solving the case.

The new findings are based on samples from the murder scene that have not been tested until now. After 19 years of investigation, the testing in the United States is intended to provide additional details about the murder, the particulars of which are still unclear.
