Anat Elimelech (Hebrew: ענת אלימלך; 8 March 1974 – 2 December 1997) was an Israeli fashion model and an actress who played in commercials and television shows for children.
During the Contest "Miss Kenyon" beauty pageant she met the successful hairdresser David Afuta (who had many high-profile clients such as the then Prime Minister's wife Sara Netanyahu amongst others[1]), who was 14 years older than her, and they soon became a couple.
During the same year she also participated in the children's video tape "Making A Movie: Golden Heart Flower" (עושים סרט: פרח לב הזהב) together with Vicki Tavor, Mali Chofesh and Tamar Milstein.
On the evening of December 1, 1997, the day before her death, Elimelech appeared along with the other participants of the Festigal Dudu Topaz's entertainment show on Channel 2.
In the morning of December 2, 1997 Elimelech was found dead along with her boyfriend, David Afuta, in their home in the Ramat Beit HaKerem neighborhood in Jerusalem.
Although this fact was verified in laboratory tests the prosecution decided, with the support of the police, not to initiate legal proceedings against Afuta's brother and he was released.
