A father and stepmother have been arrested for the murder of their 5-year-old son who was found dead more than 30 years ago in South Carolina.
A father and stepmother have been arrested for the murder of their 5-year-old son nearly 35 years after he was killed, authorities announced.
Victor Lee Turner and Megan R. Turner (formerly known as Pamela K. Turner) were taken into custody at their Cross Hill, South Carolina, home on Wednesday and charged with the cold case murder of Justin Lee Turner, according to Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis.
"I can't think of a more tragic, horrendous murder," Lewis said at a Wednesday news conference.
Megan Turner, then known as Pamela Turner, reported Justin missing on March 3, 1989, telling Berkeley County authorities that the 5-year-old never got off the school bus that afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit.
But Lewis said authorities believe Justin was killed before he had the chance to go to school that morning.
