The Chevrolet was taken from the parking lot just three days before the murder, on the evening of 21 March 2021.  Since the defendant took possession of the vehicle, no actual use has been made of the Chevrolet vehicle, except for a short drive during which the defendant filled up on fuel and air in this vehicle, the conduct of which is entirely presumed to be the preparation of the Chevrolet vehicle for "operational" activity and an attempt to abandon it after the activity.

The Chevrolet was parked near the house rented by the defendant on Hatishbi Street, and very late at night it was moved to another location not far from the defendant's home at 18 HaGevburah Street in Nesher.

In the early hours of the morning, the two murderers arrived at the Chevrolet and drove it to the place where it stopped, not far from the deceased's home.

After the murder was committed, the two of them returned to the Chevrolet and drove in it towards the Carmel ridge, where in Daliyat al-Carmel, while deviating from the driving lane, one of them got out and took out the shoes, one of which had the defendant's profile on it and the other on the deceased's profile.  Later, in Carmel Park, among the bushes, the teddy bear coats worn by the two murderers were hidden, and one of them had a genetic profile of the deceased.

Later, they drove to the Tiberias area and took out carpets and license plates that had been stolen the day before, and from there they continued towards Meron.  From Meron, the defendant returned driving the Chevrolet to Rafi Abdayev's business compound and later tried to disconnect from the car, but his request was not wanted.

After noticing the police officers at Rafi Abdeev's business on 25 March 2021, the defendant took the vehicle (from which he had previously tried to disconnect) and drove off.  The next afternoon, the defendant was arrested while driving the Chevrolet.

The evidence that established the scenario is related to the defendant's possession of the Chevrolet car, the identification of relevant genetic profiles on shoes and coats that were found in the vehicle's path, the dispute over what happened at the Einhorn compound to which the defendant was a party, and the defendant's blatant lies that he failed to provide an alternative explanation to the evidence he was obligated to do.
