GUILTY Turkey - Sarai Sierra, 33, NY woman murdered, Istanbul, 21 Jan 2013 - #2

Here it's not as clear as that, that's why I'm not so sure what the lawyer meant by that. Maybe he wanted emphasize that Tarkan's parents are old and very affected by all the accusations and speculations made on behalf of him. I have no clue.

I bet Tarkans parents are from Bebek .... And he's their little Bebek!

Perhaps. His lawyer's office is in Sariyer.

The chances of her paying for GSM roaming aren't likely as it'd be SO expensive for data. She didn't post many photos, so my guess is that she did so when she could get free Wi-Fi.

Didn't she have a Samsung Galaxy and not an iPhone? It's been turned on twice since she disappeared, the last time was last Thurs...

THIS is a great explanation for why she didn't post many photos while in Turkey.

My objection would be that she had wifi where she was staying and according to her friend she was always at home at nights.

I haven't been able to keep up with all of the posts, so I apologize if I missed something, but is it possible Taylan/Tarkan would admit to having consensual sex with SS in case his semen or DNA was found on her? If he had raped her and then murdered her (I'm not saying he did), wouldn't that provide a plausible explanation/excuse?
Was the bathroom sex story just a rumor?

I don't think bathroom sex is true. His lawyer explicitly said the didn't do anything of that sort. And only met twice in a coffee shop.

I think the bathroom sex story was true. We have learned today, however, that the DNA did not match Taylan. That's what they're sayin', anyway

Maybe the Tarlabasi flat didn't have Wifi, which is quite possible

A really good point about being able to take time off - 3 weeks from a part time job? - that's a luxury even with a full time job (in USA) -and if they needed the money - really odd.

She worked as a receptionist three half days at a chiropractor's office, probably not a big staff. I bet she made $8-$12 tops.

 

[ThinkHard]

But her jewelry was not gold right? I'm sorry I'm starting forget everything now.

I believe the said the two chains were gold...who knows though, who really knows!

he rejected answering that question, but he didnt say no. but he did say they didnt have any emotional attachment explicitly.

There is a new article.
Not much new. It is saying police thinks murderer killed SS at his place and took her to there to blame homeless.

I can't translate it now have to go. I've been procrastinating for long. Maybe Yashem or bet2173 can translate?

You and I, Yashim, are a perfect example of how the media and LE likes to contradict each other. I think I was posting the fact that it IS true at the exact moment you were posting it isn't!

Weren't they saying- just today, in fact- that she wasn't moved?! That she was killed where she was found, or extremely close to it? OMG. This case is giving me fits.

Wifi in Tarlabasi is an oxymoron.

Does that mean "a baby"?

By the time this case is resolved, I think I will have learned some Turkish.

Same here.

I think the previous one was a direct quote from a LE official.

The only thing we know about this case that we actually don't know anything.

Just piggy backing off that thought....it was also widely reported she kept in touch via Skype on a regular basis.

Ugh. You're right. Foiled again!

But his lawyer explicitly said "my client didn't not have sexual relationships with that girl."

OK, I see your point. In the US, that translates as he in fact did.

Pardon my ignorance. In order to communicate with her family in the US via Skype, would she need to have Wi-Fi?

The reason I am asking is because her family said repeatedly they were in touch every day.
