A close family member said, "We don't understand what and why this happened, we are simply trying to understand and comprehend how a mother, a wonderful woman who was full of life, left her house and suddenly disappeared. We hope that our worst fears don't materialize."
The night before she went missing, Tekalin celebrated the bar mitzvah of her eldest son.
Police are now searching both nearby garbage facilities.
