According to the details in the file, statements were taken from 172 people from Tavşantepe village as "witnesses" and "informed parties." All of the witnesses, when asked whether they saw Narin, responded with "I didn't see, I didn't hear, I don't know."

"OUR HOUSE IS OUTSIDE THE VILLAGE, I NEVER SAW HER"

It was noted that almost all of those who were interviewed as witnesses or informed parties were asked the question, "Did you see Narin Güran on August 21? If so, where and at what time did you see her?" Many people, including a real estate agent, a farmer, and the village imam, responded with answers such as "I never saw Narin that day," "I didn't see her, I don't know her," and "Our house is a bit outside the village, so I never saw her."
