Virginia High School Football Coach who is being investigated for child porn charges was last seen with a gun

Travis Turner, a well-known high school football coach from Virginia is wanted on criminal charges related to child pornography and soliciting a minor with a computer. The last person that seen him claims he was walking into the wood line with a firearm.

Turner, 46, of Appalachia, Virginia, is wanted on five counts of possession of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor. The agency has not shared details on what led to the charges but noted that additional charges are pending.

He is a well-known football coach at Union High School in Wise County, who was last seen on Nov. 20. State police said in a Nov. 25 news release that authorities are “actively searching” for Turner.

The wife of missing Virginia football coach Travis Turner quietly deleted her social media — just as the family revealed he was armed with a gun when he mysteriously vanished amid a child porn probe.

Leslie Caudill Turner, Turner’s wife of 25 years, suddenly scrubbed her online presence after cops last week put out 10 warrants for her husband’s arrest on child porn and solicitation charges.

This is a pretty wild case and has been getting a lot of attention in the media. We will keep a close eye on the case moving forward.
