The mystery of the disappearance of the boy Nissim Sheetrit
A few months before the disappearance of Sheetrit, who was 17 at the time of the incident and whose body was never found, he was abducted from the yeshiva in Ashdod where he studied, and beaten by the chastity guard, who threatened not to go out with girls he knew.

He later met a man named Mike, with whom he hung out for about a week, until his traces disappeared after a meeting the two held in central Jerusalem.
Police suspected that the man was a messenger of the chastity shift, who decided to kill him and hide his body, but he fled to the Netherlands the year Sheetrit disappeared.
The details of the investigation and the identity of the suspects in the case are subject to a restraining order.
