Wouldn't the cameras have seen her walking with this person though
But the cameras did not see her walking with Taylan either. Maybe the cameras did not capture her w the killer.
If there was another suitor, perhaps she went to that area to phot graffiti and this other person followed her and killed her there.
If not Taylan, there are only 3 choices: another person from Internet OR someone she met organically in istanbul like someone at hostel OR a completely random person who decided to kill her for perhaps her ipad but not her jewelry which would be weird. If a random person, and assuming she was not raped, robbery would have to be the motive. Do we know whether she had any cash on her when they found the body?
Actually, there is a fourth scenario, highly unlikely I think:she was a drug mule or involved in some criminals element and someone killed her fearing that she was going to report them
Given that she was engaging in risky behavior meeting up w strange men, I still think the most likely scenario is someone she met online...
I was just thinking too..how many of you know a married women (or man for that matter) with small children who packs up and goes overseas for 3 weeks leaving family behind to photograph pictures and to meet up w random people on the Internet? And add to that, the person is not an experienced traveler and this is first time overseas?
Maybe one does that at age 22 after college but it is extremely rare someone w a family would do that. The whole thing is just strange, that is what makes this case so fascinating. She might have been just a naive woman on an adventure (i think she had home problems and she just wanted time alone) but still, the whole scenario is just odd...most people w families go w their families, they take their kids to Disney world, they do not go off on trips to foreign countries alone, especially when they do not have money to throw around, when they are married w small children and when they are inexperienced travelers. Maybe you might go off for a few days to an island or las vegas for a girls weekend but not 3 weeks....and not to turkey..
The oddness of the trip may or may not have anything to do w her death...in any event, there had to have been a reason she wanted to go on the trip, spending so much of her hard earned money and leaving her kids for 3 weeks. Why so long? It was not just for photos...
By saying the whole thing is odd/strange I don't mean to pass judgement on anything. I think most people would agree w me though that the fact situation here is just really odd...which is why I think everyone wants to know who did it!!
