    Hey Yaacov,

    Thanks for all the great posts. What a profoundly disturbing and tragic story. I first heard about it via a BBC Audio Documentary, and thought you might be interested in checking it out: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/worldservice/docarchive/docarchive_20090514-1521a.mp3

    I hope all is well!

    Ryan
