I'm not even sure if it was a lucky question or good thinking,
but I replied, "So where is it?"
Breakthrough. Finally he stumbled.
"No, I'm wrong. The floor was clean when I saw it. The wave
would have swept all the shards into the bay."
And then some expert help from the audience. A tall man in
his thirties noted, "You have to look at the weight distribution
of the vehicle. A car is like a boat; the motor is the anchor
and the rest of the car would float without it. If a powerful
wave hit it, the car would never have remained parallel
parked. As an example, look at the photos of the Asian
tsunami. After it hit, the cars were strewn at all angles, but
none remained parallel parked. Most cars were pushed by
the wave. The only ones which suffered the kind of damage
we see in Raful's car actually fell into the sea."
But, he added, if a block or heavy object had fallen on the
roof, we would see paint chipped away and that is not visible.
So I had to be wrong on that point.
The debate was evening out. I went in for the kill. "Mr.
Shamir," I asked, "If Raful fell into the quiet side of the
harbor, wouldn't his body have stayed in place" Then I
showed photo 2. "How did it float to the exposed side of the
breakwater? Why was it found over a kilometer away?"
Now he got stuck. "It could have been taken there," he
answered.
I asked, "Would anyone really do that?"
He offered no answer.
The confrontation ended and I concluded the evening by
signing books. Then a most telling incident occurred. Gideon
Shamir came up to me and asked, "What was the motive?"
