Get refuser found thanks to motorcycle
A man who refused to divorce his wife disappeared and
changed his name, thereby preventing her from marrying someone else. A private
investigator found him at a high-school reunion.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, in 1990, a woman whose
husband spiraled into deadening debt wanted a divorce. Her husband refused, and
after a while disappeared. The woman was left tied to him by marriage, with a
child, and without child support.
Years have gone by, and there was no word from her husband.
Private investigators she hired were unable to trace him. Some even claimed he
was dead.
That is until the arrival of Victor Sananes, a private
investigator who was hired by rabbinical court and who decided he was not going
to give up until he found the missing husband.
So Sananes started to notice the tiniest details in the
man's life. Crossing the invite list to a reunion, held by the Israel Goldstein
Youth Village where the man went, with the fact that he was a motorcycle fan
led Sananes to suspect a man, invited to the reunion, whose Facebook profile
picture was that of a motorcycle.
So Sananes placed surveillance on the reunion. When the
man indeed identified himself as the man in question, the discovery was
certain. Determining the man's identity, Sananes sent police forces to his
house, claiming a domestic disturbance call was made. The wife, who accompanied
Sananes to the man's house, immediately identified her husband when he stepped
outside to talk to the police.
The man admitted to have disappeared due to his debts and
to have assumed a different identity, and last week, after years of goose
chase, the woman finally got her divorce.
Rabbi Eliyahu Meimoun, the head of Aguna cases (cases in
which a husband refuses to divorce his wife) in Rabbinical courts said:
"We didn't give up. The investigators who claimed he was dead had no
proof. This rare incident shows one shouldn’t give up."
