Yam Levy
The body of a young Israeli woman who went missing in
Germany was found Thursday in the south of the country.
Yam Levy, 23, traveled to Germany on her own, and went
missing early last week. Her body was discovered on a mountain at 1,150 meters,
near the town of Oberstdorf, some 200 southwest of Munich.
The development was initially reported by a local radio
station, AllgäuHIT, and was later confirmed by Robert Graf, a local police
spokesman, who said that Levy had accidentally fallen from great height.
Levy, a resident of the central Israeli town of Lapid, was
last seen on September 10 in the town of Immenstadt, about 120 kilometers from
Munich. She left the hotel where she was staying, evidently to hike in the
area. The next day she sent a friend a picture from a mountainous region. She
was later spotted in the company of two men and another woman with whom she was
evidently traveling, according to witnesses.
Levy was expected to check out of the hotel last Thursday.
After she failed to turn up, the hotel management informed the police of her
disappearance. The police began searching for Levy and interviewing witnesses,
while her family traveled to the area.
On Thursday the police expanded the effort to locate Levy
and another young woman who had gone missing, an Austrian national. A private
detective was recruited for the task by Levy's family, according to local
reports.
