The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Tarlac recently recovered a vehicle believed to be used by individuals involved in the disappearance of beauty queen Geneva Lopez and her Israeli boyfriend, Yitzhak Cohen. The vehicle was found in Tibag, Tarlac City, and is currently being investigated for any clues that may lead to the whereabouts of the missing couple.
Geneva Lopez and Yitzhak Cohen have been reported missing since June 22, according to the Angeles City police office. The couple had informed their families that they were scheduled to meet someone in Capas to inspect a property they were interested in purchasing.

The family of Yitzhak Cohen has offered a reward of PHP 250,000 to anyone who can provide information leading to the discovery of Cohen and Lopez.
