The search efforts for Burak Koçak, who went missing after leaving home to go to school on the eve of the holiday, continue on the second day. It has been learned that Burak had a holiday haircut the day before he went missing, and that his family, not liking the haircut, completely shaved his hair at home with a razor.
Burak Koçak (14), who went missing two days ago after leaving home to go to school in the Orhaneli district of Bursa, is being searched everywhere by a 94-person search team supported by drones and trained dogs.
Burak Koçak, an 8th-grade student living in the Altıntaş neighborhood of Orhaneli, left home on the morning of June 5 to go to school. His family learned that Koçak did not take the shuttle that departed from the neighborhood square and did not go to school, so they searched the area for their son, who did not return home in the evening. The searching family found Koçak's school bag in a shed in the yard of Altıntaş Primary School and reported the situation to the district gendarmerie command. Upon the notification, teams began search operations in the area. In the searches conducted with a team of 50 people on the first day of the holiday, Koçak could not be reached.
SEARCH OPERATIONS CONTINUE
The search operations for the missing Burak Koçak continue on the second day of the holiday with a total of 94 personnel, including AFAD, JAK, Gendarmerie Public Order, MAG-AME, UMKE, İNDAK, ANDA, KUMDAK, and MAGDER, along with 4 search dogs, 4 drones, and 16 vehicles in forested and mountainous areas.
THEY REACTED WHEN THEY DIDN'T LIKE HIS HAIRCUT
It was learned that a day before he went missing, Burak went to a barber in the neighborhood with his friends to get a holiday haircut. However, his mother Hanife Koçak (50) and his uncle reacted by saying, 'Son, why didn't you get a proper haircut?' when they didn't like the hairstyle he got, and then they completely shaved Burak's hair with the hair clippers at home. It was suggested that Burak was psychologically negatively affected by this incident with his family.
SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE EMERGED
On the other hand, images recorded on Burak's mobile phone showing his hairstyle and security camera footage of him walking with his backpack on the morning he went missing have emerged.
HE LIVED WITH HIS MOTHER
It was learned that Burak Koçak's father, Bekir Koçak (70), passed away from a heart attack in 2022, and that his mother, Hanife Koçak, has one daughter from her first marriage, while his father, Bekir Koçak, has two children from his first marriage, and Burak is the only common child of the couple.
