Abstract: 

Narkis Aliza Golan, 41 years old, was found dead in her New York City apartment on October 18, 2022. Her sudden death was a shock to her family, her friends, and the cadre of lawyers and amicus organizations that had supported her for four years in her case under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. It also raised the tragic question of what was to become of her son, a six year old boy with severe autism, who was the focus of a landmark case before the U.S. Supreme Court, Golan v. Saada. This article provides background, an update on this famous case, and commentary about its implications.
