Yashim and alabaster thanks for the support. You've both had great insights too. Yashim, I think you were the one that translated the article, on which I based my scenario, that SS was seen photographing a group of the homeless and then alone with Z. A shout out also to the websleuth that within minutes of seeing the video of SS walking down the street in the red shirt, said I think there was a sex crime behind this.
I think SS being 9 going on 32 ( see #2 in my scenario) did lead to SS's demise.
Just to add to the scenario a few new pieces of information:
1. Last night someone here said SS crossed the road to take picture of the doors of C. . That's what got her to cross the street. Then she was surrounded by the "nice" and charming group of homeless. She's thinking like a 9 year old. "Oh, they're so nice" and she's left with the especially nice Z.
2. Z was a scavenger. I think SS looked to him to be a vision of loveliness. I think he thought, first I'm going to rape her. Then I'm going to take her jacket, phone, and Ipad to sell.
3. Add also to the scenario that SS had been filmed walking like a schoolgirl, swinging her jacket as she walked to the dangerous part of town. She had gotten the text from Taylan , with whom she was smitten, that he would be joining her. I think she was going to stay on the other side of the road until Taylan came, but then got carried away with the photographs of the doors, the homeless, and then the oh so helpful Z.
4. I'm leaning more toward Z dragging her body at night away from the murder site. I think he wiped the body clean of fingerprints, as best he could, and that's why at first LE was saying it looked "professional." But he didn't get under SS's fingernails.
What do you think?
I totally agree. SS must have been fooled by his appearance. People who are confident with their character judgement skills often do get mistaken when they apply them in a foreign culture.
From Day 1, I was 100% sure that this was committed by a one of the homeless residents of the walls, at least until oddities began to pile up (incl. misinterpretation of the jacket as a bag) and Z made such a professional escape.
Never once thought that T had anything to do with it. And I had focused on a druggie. Because only a druggie could be so uncontrolled with a stone to overkill someone. (Unrecognizable face and driver's license don't make sense together.) And realizing he had killed the victim and gives up rape, that's why there was no sign of rape (at least so we're told).
But then this trash paper collector guy shows up. And I was confused. Then we learned that he was an addict too.
And if there had been a murder there before, that place had been cleaned up long ago. So, something very extraordinary must have happened. A really really stoned druggie, not being able to restrain the victim and not many around either to help him restrain her or to stop him from killing her.
Parallel to your theory, I think he wanted to rape her. I am not 100% sure about "him personally stealing the electronics". But maybe he wasn't alone....
I don't think Z really cares about money. At least not with any amount that will last him more than a few days.
He (or they) attacked her. Maybe the idea of attacking wasn't even his. But he was the one who he ended up killing her. Then either the others took the iPad or he bribed some witnesses with the iPad to keep quiet and to help him move the body.
I am assuming he was in a state of delirium due to whatever he had been inhaling that day. Because he is close to 50 and so far he only had charged with some sort of misdemeanors, petty theft perhaps. But murder and rape are serious felonies. And his friends say he really is not that kind of guy. I also believe if he were, he would have made the prison much earlier.
The guy is mentally unstable but when he is sober, I believe he looks quite normal. Maybe that made SS trust him. All people have some prejudices. If he was the perfect middle-easterner, maybe SS would have been more careful. But Z looks like a less charming version of Malcolm McDowell.
Afraid of getting caught and ironically maybe even ashamed of what he had done, he ran away.
Some other people must have entered the picture at some time. I don't think he can do everything on his own and still make sure that no one sees anything. So, that's where I get my bribing witnesses with iPad theory.
