00:00But the motive of the Israeli sister, Yitzhak Cohen,
00:05in the murder of her and her beloved beauty contestant, Geneva Lopez.
00:10The two victims were found in a quarry site in Tarlac this Saturday.
00:14Let's hear from Jasmin Garbel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
00:22The family of Geneva Lopez is full of grief.
00:26The beauty pageant contestant, who was missing for two weeks,
00:29along with her Israeli fiancé, Yitzhak Cohen,
00:33were found dead in Tarlac last Saturday.
00:36The fear that you felt when you were killed,
00:41I wish I was the only one who felt it, not you.
00:50I love my sister.
00:53If it's us, don't think of us, because we can do this.
00:56Kind, helpful, and a happy friend in Geneva.
01:00She's always willing to help, whether emotionally, spiritually,
01:10and in whatever way she can.
01:12If she can just ask for a wish, that we're just strangers,
01:17I'm willing to trade my life for her.
01:25Geneva was found dead along with her Israeli boyfriend, Yitzhak Cohen,
01:30in a quarry site in Barangay Santa Lucia near Tarlac this Saturday.
01:35It's so painful because you can't imagine it.
01:38I'm so happy for the two of them.
01:40That's why I'm sad that there are speculations.
01:45Aside from being a beauty pageant contestant,
01:48she was an active member of their church in Geneva.
01:51Besides pageant, she was an active person.
01:54In an official statement issued by the family of Geneva,
01:58they thanked those who helped and took the time to look for their relative.
02:04The family asked for privacy from the public during their visit.
02:09Yitzhak will return home to Israel for a burol, according to their tradition.
02:15His brother said that Yitzhak will not buy land when he goes to Tarlac on June 21.
02:21He went to get a title of the land and also to sell a land, not to buy a land.
02:29My brother was buying, getting a land for a collateral of a land.
02:37Collateral of a loan, basically.
02:39He didn't come with any money.
02:40He came for a meeting with one of the suspects
02:44just because he was telling him that he is ready with the papers for the land
02:48and that he has a buyer.
02:50Yaniv believes that money is the motive for the murder
02:54because his brother has a connection with loans and land.
02:58In a statement, the Embassy of Israel in Manila reached an agreement.
03:03They thanked the authorities for their efforts to find their relative.
03:08They believe that those behind the crime will be held accountable.
03:11The family of Cohen is also helping the Embassy to bring Yitzhak back to Israel.
