Friday March 3rd, Pamela Turner waits for her stepson to get off the school bus. When Justin Turner doesn't, the stepmom calls the school.  Staff  tells her that Justin was marked absent that day. The sheriff's office is called and deputies come to the Turner home.   5-year-old Justin Turner has been missing for hours.
The search for Justin Turner includes multiple agencies and volunteers from the area. For two days WCBD News video cameras follow the searches. Video show volunteers side-by-side with police and sheriff's deputies, walking nearly shoulder to shoulder through fields, checking under back decks and sheds. The channel 2 camerman is filming as Victor Turner goes into a camper on their property, and quickly comes back out saying  "my son's in there."
The body of Justin Turner is found hidden inside a cabinet in the pickup truck camper, parked close to the family home. An autopsy and forensic analysis is done on the 5-year-old, Investigators determine that the boy had been placed inside the camper shortly after his strangulation death. A forensic pathologist report indicates the boy died a short time after eating his last meal. 
The Berkeley County Sheriff at the time, M.C. Cannon says accidental death is ruled out. The coroner's  autopsy report reveals the boy was sexually assaulted  with some kind of cylindrical object and strangled to death. The case is officially ruled a homicide.
