Carrie And Steven Turner's Murder In Myrtle Beach South Carolina

600 Words3 Pages

The case that I chose to analyze is the murder of Carrie and Steven Turner March 6, 2015 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Carrie (52) and Steven Turner (61) were from Durham, North Carolina, but had recently moved to Roxboro, North Carolina because their home in Durham was burned down while they were on a vacation cruise. They owned a store in Roxboro, and had planned on selling it and moving to Myrtle Beach to retire. The chain of events leading up to their death is long and suspicious, and I believe that none of the police departments involved followed the proper protocol, or else these deaths could have been prevented. First, their home was burned while they were on vacation, and is still under investigation to see if it was an accident or arson case. Second, four individuals were arrested …show more content…

The officer approached the vehicle and said that when he began speaking to Turner and Griffin he smelled marijuana and saw firearms in the vehicle in plain sight along with drug paraphernalia. He arrested them and they were booked for the drugs, paraphernalia, a suspended driver’s license, and firearms. However, the two were released on bond the next day. I do not understand how individuals with these kind of charges could be released but they were, and the chain of events kept going. The next day, after being released, the Myrtle Beach police were called to the hotel where Griffin and Turner were staying because the hotel staff called and said they observed suspicious activity and declined to allow the two young adults to extend their stay. The police said they could not find anything when they went to their room and questioned them, so they had to leave. But, when they went back later that day, after being called again, Myrtle Beach police discovered the bodies of Carrie and Steven Turner in the

Such cases are not restricted to Goldsboro, North Carolina but are reported all over the country (Shoester 187).

    In Suzanne Lebsock’s A Murder in Virginia, 2003, the judicial proceedings of a court case are depicted after a women, Lucy Pollard, was found brutally slain in her own backyard. Most would think this to be a simple illustration of a murder trial, but this case comes with a twist. The twist is that the murder took place in rural Virginia in 1895. This is a time period that is characterized as post Reconstruction but before the implementation of the Jim Crow Laws. Being a Confederate state shortly after the Civil War, one would believe that race relations in Virginia would be extremely tumultuous, but this case just happens to fall in a small window of time in which relationships were surprisingly harmonious.

    In the book, Murder in the Bayou, Ethan Brown takes the reader through the murky waters of Jennings, Louisiana as he recounts the gruesome history of eight female murders known as the Jeff Davis 8. With police records and witness accounts, Brown uncovers that the murders are anything but your regular killings. Instead, Brown hints at a unnerving and inappropriate relationship shared by The Jennings Police Department and Jenning’s street hustlers and drug dealers. According to Brown (2017), “The Jennings Police Department and the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office shared a long and deep history of corruption” (p. 45). Although Brown never comes right out to say it, there is enough evidence for me to believe that there is no one killer
