I was hoping that they would find her alive. What a sad turn of events. I’ll keep her family in my prayers.
Just read how they arrested 9 people for her murder..9 people..what the hell??
1. tragic and sad.
2. IF “while vacationing alone” in Turkey THEN naif.
The world is a dangerous place, especially for women, alone.
Got to be more to this whole story.
She looks as if she could have some Turkish blood in her line. I just cannot imagine traveling to Turkey alone, otherwise. We lived there (in Adana) for 6 years, and even though those were much better days for being there, and traveling there, one still would not travel alone...not a woman. Why would her husband allow her to go alone? I’ve wondered that from the get-go. Strange.
I’m still pissed at Turkey for not letting the 4th ID into Iraq from the North during the War.
Probably another liberal victim of their own naivete. Besides, what kind of woman goes alone on vacation to Istanbul? And what kind of mother goes on vacation without her children?
Sarai is Arabic for Sarah, so she was likely a Muslim or Christian Arab or Turk. I have said since the start this this was a likely drug smuggle gone bad. Why else would the husband and brother let her go alone?
Of course, I ask that about a lot of U.S. cities as well.
Seeing what country she was in, I fear that this wasn’t just a murder, but was preceded by the despicable acts that bearded savages love to do.
why do these idiot women think they will be safe in a foreign country by themselves?
This is sad. Remember a few years back, there was some AF officer lady who went missing for several days in Turkey. She said she was kidnapped. The story never made any sense nor had any real conclusion.
I was attacked by a gang of thieve’s when I went out into the crowded streets at night after our tour for the day ended. Muggers attempted but failed to rob me.
I sat down in the middle of the street and started shouting for the POLICE at the top of my lungs. Apparently, in those days the criminal gangs still feared the police. Now, with extremist whack Jobs running Turkey is any non-moslem safe in their giant Port-a-potty nation? Screw them all to the floor and drown them all in bacon grease and feed them to hogs.
She had a date in Constantinople, but ended up in Istanbul.
