At the time, the matter was being handled by Fatuma Hadi Ali, who was serving as the Kilimani Sub-County Criminal Investigations Officer.

Yego explained that after reviewing the available investigation records, he contacted Sarah Wairimu, Cohen's wife and the main suspect in the case, requesting her to provide additional information about her husband's whereabouts.

Although Wairimu had already recorded a statement at Kilimani Police Station, detectives wanted her to give further details as part of their ongoing inquiries.

She was initially expected to appear on August 3 but requested an extension, saying she was in Nyeri. She eventually visited Yego's office on August 5, where she recorded another statement.

The officer told the court that Wairimu was not considered a suspect at that particular stage because investigators were still treating Cohen's disappearance as a missing-person case.

However, on August 6, 2019, the investigation was transferred to the DCI Homicide Team, marking a significant shift in the case.
