This image seems to show that Jamal Khashoggi entered the consulate last week.
Turkish television broadcast a CCTV video showing the missing Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, entering Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul.
Mr. Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi monarchy, returned on October 2 but failed to re-emerge.
Turkish security sources have expressed concern that he was killed there. Saudi Arabia denies this.
The video also shows vehicles leading to the consulate, including a black van at the center of the investigations.
Images broadcast by the Turkish channel TRT World also show a group of men apparently going through security at the airport in Istanbul.
The Turkish Sabah newspaper reports having identified 15 members of an intelligence team involved in the disappearance of Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Khashoggi was visiting the consulate to finalize his divorce in order to marry his Turkish fiancee Hatice Cengiz.
What was the international reaction?
The British Foreign Minister told Saudi Arabia that his country is waiting for urgent answers to Mr. Khashoggi's disappearance.
In a phone call to Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, Jeremy Hunt warned that "friendships depend on shared values".
Earlier Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said he had not yet spoken to the Saudi authorities about the journalist's disappearance.
"I did not do it, but I'll be there at some point," he told reporters.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Saudi Arabia to "support a thorough investigation" into his disappearance and to "be transparent about the results".
UN experts demanded a "quick independent international investigation" over his disappearance.
Last week, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed told Bloomberg News that his government was "very eager to know what had happened to him" and that Mr. Khashoggi was gone "after a few minutes or an hour".
The brother of Crown Prince Mohammed and the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States, Prince Khaled bin Salman al-Saud, insisted that all reports of his disappearance or death "are completely false and without foundation ".
How did Khashoggi's fiancée react?
Hatice Cengiz has launched a call for help in the United States.
In a moving article in the Washington Post, she wrote: "I begged President Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, to help shed light on Jamal's disappearance."
"We were preparing our wedding, our life," he said.
"Jamal is a valuable person, an exemplary thinker and a brave man who fought for his principles, I do not know how I could go on living if he was kidnapped or killed in Turkey."

Turkey has announced that it will carry out a search at the consulate of Istanbul.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry said his country was "open to cooperation" and that a search of the building could continue as part of the investigation.
Ankara calls on Saudi Arabia to prove that he left without providing definitive evidence in support of his claim that he was killed in the interior.
Who is Jamal Khashoggi?
A criticism of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Mr. Khashoggi lived in self-imposed exile in the United States and wrote opinion pieces for the Washington Post before his disappearance.
A former editor of the al-Watan newspaper and a short-lived Saudi television channel, he has long been considered a close relative of the Saudi royal family. He has served as an advisor to senior Saudi officials.

But after the arrest of several of his friends, the al-Hayat newspaper canceled his column and he was told not to tweet anymore. Mr. Khashoggi left Saudi Arabia to travel to the United States.
