Searched Coach
quote:

A Virginia high school football coach who disappeared last week is now a fugitive from justice after state police on Tuesday, Nov. 25 announced he was wanted on child pornography possession and child solicitation charges.

Travis L. Turner, 46, who disappeared late last week, is wanted on five counts of possession of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor, the Virginia State Police confirmed to USA TODAY.

quote:

Turner, 46, is the head football coach at Union High School in Wise County. The team is in the midst of a perfect 12-0 season and is set to play in Virginia's Region 2D championship game.

Since his disappearance, state police said they have used search and rescue teams, drones and police dogs to assist in the hunt for the fugitive.
.
I thought I read elsewhere that he has not been seen since last week’s playoff win.

I’m thinking he offed himself

So he’s been ‘missing’ for almost a week?

This is what happens a lot. They know what will happen to them in prison. I had a client that was successful and had a great family and one day FBI showed up with a search warrant at his house and took all of their electronics, including his kids iPads, while he was at work. His wife took the kids to her parents and he blew his brains out that night. Nobody knew what happened until a couple of weeks later. It was truly awful situation.

He offed himself in the woods somewhere. Probably Grayson Highlands.

Likely put on a weighted vest and waded out into the middle or a deep body of water before doing so, in order to make it more difficult to locate.

In other news, the LSU Athletic department has finalized negotiations with the football team's new coach, Mavis Burner.

LSU Board of Supervisors would be lucky if they found the hint of one file to circumvent the buyout.

Maybe they can search through BK’s computer files and records to find out if he accessed multiple enhanced images of LSU Golden Girls on the sidelines like the computer sleuths found out about the Tosh Kiffin LSU photo.

Why? Just take some money and head way south of the border. Like South America.
