They went to lunch and got into a fight.
Alyssa then disappeared, never to be seen again.
Her runaway note directly contradicts what Alissa said to her friends that day.
These elements point to the letter being written long before she went missing.
She also left her cell phone and money behind, which I cant believe any teen runaway would do.
That’s far from ordinary.
He also put cameras in the vents of the house that recorded his step-daughter Alissa.
He showed up at her work and recorded her from the parking lot.
Yet, somehow, he didnt have videotapes of the time when Alissa went missing.
Of course, Michael Turney has provided excuses for all these things.
A videotape showed her speaking out by telling her sister Sarah that her dad was a pervert.
Ive always thought that everyone needed to hear Alissa Turneys story.
Unfortunately, despite coverage by YouTubers, there havent been many TV programs covering the case.
The two most significant pieces of TV coverage are episodes ofDatelineand20/20.
Both Laci Peterson and Shanann Watts were killed by their husband Scott Peterson and Chris Watts.
The men were having affairs which could have influenced their decision to kill their families.
I want to note that this is an explanation, not an excuse.
Plenty of people have affairs and never kill their family.
Sadly, the children Conner Peterson, Celeste Watts, and Bella Watts were killed in both instances too.
Alissa Turneys case would be tangentially related but mostly different.
Like therevelations from theAmerican Murderdocumentaries, the Alissa Turney case involves family secrets and tense domesticity.
Here is what’s missing.
Chris Watts andScott Peterson were sentencedto life in prison.
Michael Turney was arrested in 2020 and charged with the second-degree murder of Alissa Turney.
just go support her!
