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.

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
