Victor and Megan Turner were charged with murder in January 2024, decades after 5-year-old Justin Turner's body was found in their camper.
filed this year against a father and a stepmother, saying there was no new evidence they killed their 5-year-old child in 1989.
Justin Turner was found dead in a cabinet in a camper behind his Berkeley County home in March 1989. He had been strangled. Sheriffs determined to solve the case had tunnel vision depending on assumptions and poorly gathered evidence, defense attorney Shaun Kent said at a Friday news conference. Evonitz killed himself as police closed in on him in 2002. His body was cremated, likely making it impossible to try to match his DNA with evidence in the South Carolina case and further hampering the Turners ability to defend themselves.
The couple asked officers what might happen if a family member harmed the boy and others said Megan Turner suggested a big fight with her stepson before he died that she won.
