Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, a frequent companion and aide to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, was seen entering the consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, hours before dissident Jamal Khashoggi went in and was never seen again.

A pro-government Turkish newspaper released a time-stamped photograph of Mutreb entering the consulate on Oct. 2 at 9:55 a.m., shortly before Khashoggi arrived to obtain the proper paperwork to marry his Turkish fiancee, according to the New York Times.

Other surveillance photographs show Mutreb outside of the Saudi consul general’s home, leaving a Turkish hotel with a large suitcase, and leaving the country from Istanbul’s international airport on Oct. 2 at 5:58 p.m.

Khashoggi, a columnist for the Washington Post and a Saudi dissident, entered the consulate around 1:15 p.m. and has not been seen since, and is presumed dead.
