As speculation continues to swirl around the mysterious case of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, Turkish homicide investigators are pursuing leads and believe they are getting a better handle on the events that took place Oct. 2 in Istanbul. Forensic specialists are searching for Khashoggi's body in possible burial sites in Istanbul and its vicinity.

Monday, investigators located a Saudi Consulate vehicle at an underground car park in Istanbul and were seeking permission from the consulate to search the car, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency news outlet reported.
