Kristine Luken vanished on Saturday when she and her friend, Susan Kaye Wilson, were presumably stabbed by assailants while hiking in an archaeological site. Wilson was hospitalized in moderate condition, after she was found bound with her hands behind her back Saturday in a mountainous area outside Jerusalem, bleeding from multiple stab wounds.

Susan Kay Wilson was stabbed Saturday

“Kristine and I walked down a path in order to climb a small hill. We sat there, and two Arabs passed by and asked ‘Do you have any water?’ I said, ‘I wish.” Wilson told Israeli TV. “I felt something was wrong. I turned to (Kristine) in English and told her something doesn’t feel right and that we should return to the path.”

Wilson approached the main road, where she cried for help. Minutes later, the search for Luken begun. Hundreds of police officers, Israel Defense Forces soldiers and volunteers combed the area where she went missing. Roadblocks were set up along a nearby highway in attempt to prevent the assailants from fleeing the area.

Only in the early hours of the morning was Kristine Luken’s body found.

During her initial investigation, Wilson told police that two men of Arab descent attacked her and Luken while they were hiking through an archaeological site. Asked how she survived the attack, Wilson said that she pretended to be dead until the assailants had left, and then fled the scene.

Early Sunday morning police have issued a gag order on the various suspicious details of this deadly incident.
