Ilana Rada, the mother of Tair Rada, who was murdered in 2006, has publicly accused the police of inaction regarding the reopening of her daughter's murder case. In an interview with N12, she expressed her frustration, stating, "I think they've reached the bottom of the bottom here," referring to the recent acquittal of Roman Zadarov, the custodian at the Katzrin school where Tair was killed. Zadarov had initially confessed to the murder but later retracted his confession, leading to inconsistencies that the court noted. Ilana's lawyer, Tal Ben-Even, pointed out that the police had formed a committee to assess whether to reopen the case, which he described as an unusual approach. He emphasized that either the case should be reopened or it should not exist at all. Furthermore, Ben-Even criticized the police for failing to investigate new evidence that has emerged in recent years due to advancements in technology. He stated, "We are all Ilana Rada," highlighting the ongoing neglect of a case involving a 14-year-old girl whose murder remains unsolved. In response, the police rejected the allegations, claiming that the investigation is complex and that they are working diligently to uncover the truth.
