A man who was seen on camera crying after finding his 5-year-old
son's dead body in 1989 has now been charged with murder 34
years later.
Victor Lee Turner, 69, and Megan R. Turner, 63, have been charged
with murder in the death of 5-year-old Justin Turner, Berkeley
County Sheriff Duane Lewis said at a news conference Wednesday.
Investigators long thought a 5-year-old South Carolina boy
found strangled in 1989 was killed by his father, Victor,
and stepmother, Megan.
But it took 34 years of scientific advancement to link
microscopic fibers found on the boy's shirt to a ligature
that investigators located at the couple's home, a sheriff
said.
. . .
O-Kay ... the kid lived in the SAME HOUSE. Every
single fiber there would have been on EVERYBODY.
Sorry, but it sounds to me like the cops waited until
all possible witnesses were dead, all environmental
conditions would have changed, to try and close
their "cold case" for fun and prestige. Basically
they're gonna insist that he prove a negative - and
after THAT long it's just not possible and they
KNOW it.
