That we know of.

Bump

Was Mr. Altintas originally from Turkey? Was he involved in other forms of employment apart from the domestic work? Anything that could have made him a target or caused him to know something he wasn't supposed to know?

Bumping.

I think this man wanted to escape to his life, to his job, wanted a change or met some interesting woman of his liking and left with her..
