"ÖZGE, WHERE ARE YOU?"
After making the report, T.A., who fled the scene with his friend S.Ö., a third-year student in the Classroom Teaching Department of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, was pursued by the police. While the police were investigating, Özge Bedir's husband, A.B., arrived home. A.B. asked his relatives, "Özge, where are you?" and when he learned that she had died, he burst into tears. A.B., who was kept waiting in the police car, was taken to the hospital when he became unwell.

Özge Bedir's husband, A.B., also stated, "I worked in my own field until the evening of the incident. I do not know why T.A. and S.Ö. came to my house. I heard about the incident later because my phone ran out of battery."
