The arrest comes after \u2063the\u200c cold case unit of the Berkeley County\u2062 Sheriff&#8217;s Office reopened the investigation and utilized new technology and forensic analysis to gather\u2064 evidence.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We have dedicated detectives who \u200care committed to reviewing and investigating criminal cases where factors have prevented a timely resolution\u200c of justice. These detectives have worked hard \u2062to be sure \u2063that the life of Justin Lee \u200cTurner is remembered and that \u2062his murderers are brought to justice.&#8221; &#8211; Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Justin was reported missing in 1989, \u2062prompting an extensive search at the time. Reporters from WCBD-TV captured a heartbreaking moment during the search when Victor, overcome with emotion, discovered \u2064his son&#8217;s lifeless \u200cbody in the family&#8217;s camper. The footage,\u200b now archived, \u2063played\u2064 a crucial role in uncovering\u2063 inconsistencies in the Turners&#8217; statements \u2062and suggesting their involvement in Justin&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n<p>Justin&#8217;s body was found in the\u2064 camper, showing signs of strangulation and sexual assault. Sheriff Lewis confirmed the cause of death and highlighted\u2063 the importance of new\u2063 forensic \u2063technology in connecting the \u2064murder weapon to Justin&#8217;s clothing.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2064 are able to \u2063use some forensic testing that was not previously available, enabling them to tie in the murder weapon believed was used \u200dto strangle Justin to clothing and fabric on Justin\u2019s clothing at the\u2062 time of death.&#8221; &#8211; Sheriff Lewis<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Further evidence was discovered in Justin&#8217;s home, where fibers from a ligature matching his shirt were found. These findings, along with the\u2062 staged appearance of the crime scene,\u200d led investigators to believe that Justin\u200d had been placed in the camper \u200bafter \u200bhis death.<\/p>\n<p>The Turners initially claimed \u2062that Justin had never returned home from \u200dschool, but witnesses \u2063contradicted their statements, revealing that Justin had never boarded the bus. Megan Turner, Justin&#8217;s stepmother, provided inconsistent\u200d information about her \u2064whereabouts on the day of his disappearance.<\/p>\n<p>Victor and \u2064Megan\u200c Turner are \u200dnow in custody \u200band will face a \u200cbond hearing \u200bwithin the next 30 days. The \u200bBerkeley County Sheriff&#8217;s Office remains\u2063 dedicated \u200bto seeking justice for Justin and\u2063 ensuring that his memory lives on.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What impact did the arrest have on the small community and how \u2062are support services \u200bhelping those affected cope with the emotional\u200d aftermath?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Justice,&#8221; said Sheriff Curtis Lee Britton. &#8220;In this case, new information and advancements in technology have allowed us to bring closure\u200b to a tragic case that has haunted our community for over three decades.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Justin Turner was reported missing on\u2064 November 5, 1989, by his mother, \u2062Cynthia Turner.\u2062 She\u200b claimed that she had left her son in the care of his father, Victor\u2062 Turner, \u200bwhile she ran\u200c errands. \u200dWhen she returned, \u200bJustin was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<p>The initial \u200binvestigation did not yield any \u200dsignificant leads or\u200d evidence. Despite extensive searches and interviews with friends and family, \u2062Justin&#8217;s disappearance remained \u200da\u2064 mystery. The case went cold,\u200b leaving his\u200b devastated family desperate for answers and closure.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward \u2063to the present\u200b day, the case was reopened by the cold case unit in September 2021. Using modern forensic analysis techniques, they discovered new evidence that pointed to Victor Lee Turner as the perpetrator. It was revealed that the technology available in 1989 was not advanced\u2064 enough to identify crucial pieces of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>After obtaining a search warrant for Victor Turner&#8217;s property, investigators found human remains buried beneath the floorboards of his old barn. Forensic analysis confirmed that the remains belonged to Justin Turner. \u2063The\u200b cause of death was determined to\u2063 be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/autopsy-report-released-for-l-a-model-found-inside-her-refrigerator\/\" title=\"Autopsy report out for L.A. model discovered in fridge.\">blunt force \u2062trauma<\/a> to \u2064the head.<\/p>\n<p>Victor Turner was\u2064 promptly taken into custody and \u200bcharged with first-degree murder. His arrest shocked many\u2063 in the small community, \u2063where Victor was known as a seemingly loving and devoted father.<\/p>\n<p>The motive for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/12-year-old-charged-with-murdering-2-year-old-in-maryland\/\" title=\"12-year-old charged with killing 2-year-old in Maryland.\">murder remains unclear<\/a>. While investigators continue to piece\u2064 together the events leading to Justin&#8217;s death, they believe that there may have been conflicts within the family that escalated\u2063 to a\u200d tragic outcome. Additional evidence and witness statements are being examined to establish a clear timeline of events.<\/p>\n<p>As news\u200b of the arrest spreads, the community mourns the loss \u200dof an innocent young life \u200dand grapples \u200dwith the shocking revelation that a father could be capable of such a heinous act. Support services have been put in place to help Justin&#8217;s\u2063 family\u200b and\u200c others affected by this tragedy cope with the emotional \u200baftermath.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This case \u2063underscores the need\u2064 for perseverance\u200b and advancements in technology \u2063to seek \u2064justice, no matter how\u2063 long it\u200c takes,&#8221; said\u200d Sheriff Britton. &#8220;We owe it to the memory of Justin and his family\u200d to ensure that \u200cjustice is served.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Victor Lee Turner is scheduled to \u200dappear in court in\u2063 the coming weeks. The prosecution will present its case, and the accused will have an opportunity to defend \u2062himself.
