Parents Arrested in 1989 Cold Case Murder of 5-Year-Old Son

New Forensic Technology Leads to Breakthrough in Decades-Old Case

  • Victor Lee Turner and Megan Renee Turner have been arrested and charged with the 1989 murder of their 5-year-old son, Justin Lee Turner.
  • The couple initially reported Justin missing, claiming he never returned from school, but witnesses contradicted their story, stating the boy never got on the school bus that day.
  • Victor was filmed discovering his son's body in a camper on their property, a scene authorities now believe was staged.
  • New forensic technology allowed investigators to reevaluate physical evidence from the crime scene and autopsy, leading to the couple's arrest.
  • Authorities believe Justin was strangled to death in his home before his body was moved to the camper.
