The events leading up to Rose's death

December 2007: Rose comes to Israel to live with her mother, Marie-Charlotte Renault, and her lover - who is Rose's paternal grandfather - Ronnie Ron, as a French court accepts allegations that she had been abused by her biological father, Benjamin Pizem, in France. May 2008: Rose goes missing, while the extended family is led to believe she has been sent off to a boarding school. June 2008: Rose's maternal grandmother reports her missing to French authorities July 23, 2008: Rose's paternal great-grandmother Vivian calls child welfare services in Israel and asks them to check on Rose's wellbeing. No illegal activity is suspected, as Vivian still believes that Rose was sent to a boarding school. The National Council for the Child alerts the Netanya Welfare Department to the case. August 3: Great-grandmother Vivian files a missing persons report with police. August 4: At the request of Rose's biological father and paternal grandmother, the French Embassy asks the Netanya police about Rose's condition. August 6: Two social workers visit Rose's Netanya home. A doorman claims he has not seen Rose in about a month. The social workers sense something is wrong and ask Netanya police to visit the family. The police visit them that night. August 12: Police arrest Marie Renault and Ronnie Ron at their home and send their two younger daughters to foster care. The police discover that Rose does not have a bed or very many possessions. August 26: Ron admits to killing Rose three months earlier by striking her in the head. He claims he did not intend to kill her, but once he realized she was dead he was too afraid to confront her mother, so he told her he had sent her to a French boarding school. Ron tells police he dumped her body in a suitcase in the Yarkon river. Police begin searching the river. Sometime in August: Marie Renault's lawyer tries to get the charges against her dismissed due to lack of evidence, however the judge informs her that there is sufficient evidence showing that Renault knew of Rose's death. August 27: After a week of failed searches, police fear that Ron is lying about the whereabouts of Rose's body. August 29: Rose's biological father Benjamin is questioned by a French judge.

Says she wants "her baby back." September 8: Ron now denies that he killed Rose, claiming he only admitted to the murder under pressure from police, and the last time he saw her she was alive. September 11: Divers find red tote bag containing what are presumed to be Rose's remains in the Yarkon River, several hundred meters from where Ron claimed to have dumped the body.
