See Deputies look into Buna death for the original report. At the end of May 2006, Angela was arrested by local police for the murder of her mother, Barbara.

Sorry Deborah. No Fred or Frederick Turner in my family tree. Good luck in your search
Dianne Turner
I don't know. I have not researched my Turner line much. My earliest Turner ancestor is John Turner, Sr, who was born a bout 1620 in England. I descend from one of his nine know children, Isaac (1654-1694), who married Rebecca Crafts, born 1668. I have
information on only four generations (including John Sr.) The last birth was about 1730 in
Massachesetts.

If you provide information on your earliest Turner ancestor I may be able to help extend your search.
