MESSAGES ECE SENT TO HER FRIEND REVEALED
As Gürel was bid farewell on her last journey, the messages she sent to her friend emerged. In the messages, it was seen that Gürel took photos of the place where she was found in the forest and tried to provide location information. After trying to find her way for a while, Gürel eventually sent a message to her friend saying, "I am lost."
"SHE HAS LEFT THE PATH EVERYONE WAS WALKING ON"
CNN TÜRK Istanbul News Director Nihat Uludağ shared the following details about the photos: "When Ece Gürel entered the forest, she first took this photo. This point is a path where people walk in the forest. It is a busy spot. Later, she left the path everyone was walking on and went to a picnic area. She sent such a message."
"I AM LOST"
She shared a picture of the dams. Later, she says, 'it got crowded, I couldn't find the real place.' In the end, she sent a message saying 'I am lost.' Finally, she makes an interesting post saying, 'I sat down, my soul is left behind.' After that, her phone goes off, and then she leaves her bag and later her jacket somewhere. While trying to find her way out, we understand that she got even more lost in the forest.
