Today's case covers a murder in South Central Texas from 2002. This story comes to us from the small town of Novasota where businessman and community leader Lonnie Turner was gunned down in his own home. This case is a big 'whodunnit' that consists of a web of suspects, a series of weird circumstances, a variety of forensic evidence, bombshells, and twists and turns. But at its heart, it remains a shocking tragic loss to a rural community.
