Cevriye Bayrı
A Turkish girl whose first words grew into 'Ramazan killed'; she spoke of being Şehide Süzülmüş, murdered with her husband and two of their children in Adana in 1957, and was said to recognise several of Şehide's friends and relatives.
İsmail Altınkılıç
A Turkish boy who from about eighteen months insisted he was Abit Süzülmüş, a farmer murdered in Adana in 1957 with his wife and two children; his father's demands for money made it one of Stevenson's most closely checked cases, and it is linked to that of Cevriye Bayrı, who remembered being the wife.
Kemal Atasoy
A Turkish boy from Hatay whose statements, written down by Jürgen Keil before any checking, described a wealthy Armenian named Karakas in a waterside house in Istanbul, 850 kilometres away; a local historian later confirmed that such a man had lived in the house and died about fifty years before the boy was born.
