Abstract –
Jean heard the beeps that signaled the beginning of the radio news and put down the true-crime book she was reading about the murder of Susan Reinert and her children in a Pennsylvania suburb over 25 years ago. As the cab zipped along, she checked that her own three kids were fine. Avigail, the baby in the Snugli, dozing; Miriam, the two-year-old drooling just a little on her corduroy coat, but not having a seizure; Reuven, her strange, brilliant five-year-old who rarely spoke, staring out the window, hypnotized by the traffic flow. Resting her book on her knees, she turned her attention to the radio. “The search continues for Hodaya Pimstein,” said the announcer, “the 22-month-old girl who disappeared from her father’s house in Jerusalem on Saturday morning. Dozens of volunteers from the rescue service Zak’a combed the woods near the Kiryat Yovel neighborhood where she was last seen, but haven’t found any clues. At a news conference this morning, her parents pleaded for anyone with knowledge of her whereabouts to come forward. Hodaya was playing in the living room when her father went to the bathroom. When he returned, she had disappeared without a trace. Police are questioning neighbors, but so far no witnesses have come forward. Also in the news, soldiers in the Gaza Strip. . .”
