A 33 year old unemployed mother of 2 takes off for a three week vacation to Europe while her "cash-strapped" bus driver husband stays home with the kids. That's odd.
She wants to go because she's an avid amateur photographer and sees the trip as a great opportunity to enjoy her hobby. But she takes no camera with her, instead emailing home photos taken with an iPad and a Samsung smartphone.
Rather than flying to Amsterdam and then to Turkey, she flies directly to Turkey and then flies from Istanbul to Amsterdam and then back to Istanbul - an unnecessarily expensive itinerary for someone on a budget who is staying in a hostel.
The only way this makes sense is if she is a drug mule.
Of course,most of the local media is reporting none of this.
She should have taken The Midnight Express.
She planned to stay for three weeks, eh? Well, she may well be there that long until they raise the funds to get her body shipped back.
This is a strange but incomplete story. Her email, text messages and social media posts should point the family and investigators in the right direction.
This one is simple. She was having an affair, possibly with someone she met on the internet. Guy got what he wanted and killed her.(or didn’t get what he wanted)
