Daniel with his mother, Michal - better-known in the underworld as "The Duchess".

Michal is claimed to have disappeared from the face of the earth in the spring of 1997.

Two of Daniel's inner-circle soldiers have testified that Daniel hid her somewhere in the mountains of Cambodia, for safeguard.

However, exstensive investigations of the area, supervised by the Interpol, revealed nothing, except some of Daniel's footprints. The investigation has been stopped, due to increasing budget costs.
