Turkish security forces on Tuesday said that there are two surveillance cameras that have a clear view of Saudi Arabia’s Istanbul consulate.

“On the recordings, there was no footage that Khashoggi had exited the consulate,” according to Turkish broadcaster NTV.

Khashoggi, journalist and columnist for The Washington Post who has lived in self-imposed exile in Washington for the past year fearing retribution for his criticism of Saudi policies, has been missing since he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has expressed concern, saying on Monday that Saudi officials must prove whether or not Khashoggi exited the building after entering, as they claim.
