Security Footage Captured Turkish Murder

Final struggle for Sarai Sierra caught on camera.

Security footage was unearthed Saturday in Istanbul that revealed Sarai Sierra’s fight to her death. A homeless man, Ziya Tasali, has confessed to killing Sierra, 33, a mother of two young sons from Staten Island who had been traveling to Turkey alone. In the grainy footage, two figures, one in the signature brown jacket that Sierra was said to be wearing when she went missing, can be seen struggling near the railroad tracks—where Tasali said he attacked Sierra after attempting to kiss her. He has claimed that he was drunk and high on paint fumes when he attacked Sierra, who attempted to fight him off for 30 minutes before he left her to die near the railroad tracks.
