Interesting that Sarai’s husband is doubtful. His questions are justified. Perhaps if there hadn’t been countless rumors and other disrespectful theories about his wife from the get-go, he’d have more confidence in how things are done in Turkey. Then again, his...

Regarding Taylan’s affair with her, in previous threads these reports were declared rumors, and never actually substantiated by anyone. But be forewarned my recollection of this is kind of foggy. Law enforcement will sometimes collaborate with the media to misinform the public in an attempt...

In the last thread, I posted some symptoms of inhalant abuse. You can also if you wish google for recovering addicts testimonials, or statements from their mentors, to get a better idea. Here’s what I found that I posted previously… Most inhalants depress the nervous system, resulting in...

Too soon and Hard to say, but I’m afraid his actions following the murder do resemble those of a guilty person. What are the reasons for people doubting in his being responsible: that he’s homeless? I’ve seen in this thread some argue how often people of his ilk get railroaded and falsely...

Nothing of any substance to add. I am disappointed to see the turn this has taken. After all is said and done, it appears like we’ve been led down a blind alley. But I await news that’ll soon prove me wrong. Hopefully Turkish police will keep the heat on whoever is responsible until...

A common refrain that serves no purpose. It’s not every day we’re confronted with the possibility that someone we know could very well be a monster. So what Ziya’s family and friends are saying is understandable, though it changes nothing with regards to the case. I’ve seen this same...

The tricky thing about theft and robbery in a murder case is it can take you anywhere when you attempt to understand the perp. Such criminals can appear to be very inexperienced, they can break into a woman’s home, kill her and steal the lingerie only after ransacking everything else and...

I posted earlier some symptoms of inhalant abusers, and as I recall, one included chronic nosebleeds. This indicates Ziya’s blood could have gotten on Sarai not necessarily during a violent struggle, so we can theorize several other possible scenarios for how that evidence found its way onto...

Someone specializing in advocacy under these special circumstances would maybe provide a less bleak assessment, or so that’s what anyone would hope for a potentially innocent man whose days of freedom are clearly numbered. Fact is, the longer he remains at large, the guiltier he appears, and...

With the bad reputation interrogations have—beatings, intimidation, various other coercive procedures—it’s probably safe to assume Ziya’s neighbours gave up all they knew, but which might’ve turned out differently if they’re hardened criminals. If I understood your point correctly, I guess...

I reread the posts in question and realize now it was my mistake. His brother is simply ashamed of all the public attention. But still my question stands: if Ziya is innocent and knows he is being hunted down for this murder, why has he not come forward like the wrongly accused man he...

Many questions will remain unanswered if he isn’t found alive, that’s even if he knows more than is already known. Whatever his status, dead or alive, or fugitive, hopefully that other undisclosed percentage contains solid answers, irrespective of Ziya’s cooperation. Otherwise we might...

I couldn’t quote posts from the previous thread, so what is written here relates to previous statements made by others. If Ziya does suffer from a mental illness like schizophrenia, I think his being a junkie would exacerbate his condition. Regarding the Grim Sleeper, I confused the two...

So they used familial DNA to identify him. This was the same tool used to nab the Grim Sleeper, who went undetected for a whole decade, until resurfacing again. He appeared on a TV dating show. Police finally caught up to him in his old age.

I see your point about the media, and Ziya’s unlikelihood of establishing connections. As was stated earlier, my knowledge of Turkey is limited. But you’ve given us all something to ponder. We’ve all painted Ziya as a nobody, scum of the earth and so on, which begs the question why such an...

Well, but we can also argue the point that he has less reason to doubt in police protection, especially now when there is international scrutiny working in his favor. Many people would be thankful if he helped solve the case, and would hold law enforcement accountable for any agreements or...

I stand corrected. I suppose by now Turkish police would have informed the public what kind of criminal Ziya is, and if he were indeed related to any other murders. But I think no matter which country you’re dealing with, law enforcement would have a database like AFIS. It’s strange that...

Interesting post. Have not read through it all but some things written here reminded me of one case I followed some years back. Almost from the very beginning of this case many details related to Sarai’s murder reminded me of a solved case several years ago. He was dubbed the Railroad...
