Gülşen Uyar, a mother of two children living in Kızılcahamam district, disappeared in 2009, at the age of 52, after divorcing her husband. Uyar could not be found despite the searches made at that time. Kızılcahamam Chief Public Prosecutor's Office revisited the file years later. As part of the investigation, statements from Uyar's neighbors were taken. Shortly after the statement, a fire broke out on October 4 in the 3-storey detached house where Uyar lived until the date of his disappearance and was not used by anyone afterwards. While the house was destroyed in the fire, the fire brigade report stated that the fire broke out as a result of arson at more than one point.

Thereupon, it was decided to excavate the ground of the building. The cadaver dog Hercules, working at Ankara Public Order Branch Missing Persons Bureau, took part in the excavation work carried out by Kızılcahamam District Police Department Crime Investigation and Investigation Bureau teams.

During the 3-day excavation, human bones, tooth remains and an ax considered as a crime tool were found in a section built with bricks and tiles, covered with lime and concrete at a depth of approximately 2 meters. The bones, thought to belong to Gülşen Uyar, were taken to Ankara Forensic Medicine Institute to be compared with the DNA sample taken from her daughter.

'IT SMELLS, HE SAID TO PUT A MATCH'

Ali Y., who lived in the neighborhood and was detained within the scope of the investigation and released after his statement, claimed that he started the fire with the guidance of Gülşen Uyar's ex-mother-in-law Şerife K.. Ali Y. said that the house was empty and abandoned and said, "Auntie Şerife said to me, 'It smells, throw a match there. Nothing will happen.' I threw a match through the window; there were bed and quilts inside. I threw the match and went to my house and went to bed. Then I got up when the fire brigade came."

Former mother-in-law Şerife K. also claimed that her former daughter-in-law was mentally unstable and that she raised her children after her disappearance. Şerife K. stated that her son also got married after his divorce and had 2 daughters.

The investigation into the incident continues.
