Israel was reported missing by a family member. He lived in Pinellas Park, where he ran a storage facility. Just prior to his disappearance, he was involved with evicting a tenant for non-payment of rent. There was no sign of forced entry at Israel's house. Nothing was missing. His car still was parked in the driveway. Neighbors saw or heard nothing unusual. Israel recently had injured his foot and probably would have been hobbling. Because of this injury, he drove almost everywhere, even if he was visiting neighbors. He usually returned home by dark. In the 30 years he has lived in Florida, he never had spent a night away from his house.
