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.
I agree. This whole story from beginning to this horrible conclusion stinks to high heaven.
I love Istanbul, but it is not a place for a woman alone, especially one who has never been out of the US before. This result is as predictable as the result would be of standing in the middle of oncoming highway traffic at night, wearing dark clothing.
Hard to be sympathetic to that degree of wilful ignorance.
