MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (WCIV) — A family is renewing their calls for justice in a Berkeley County cold case.
27 years later, Berkeley County family still seeks answers in 5-year-old boy's death -
The only suspect ever charged in this case was Turner's step mother, Pamela Turner, but the charges were dropped. Investigators say there was never any physical evidence to prove it.
"No DNA evidence will ever go back to solve this case because it had a right to be where it was at," investigator Sydney Wrenn explained. "No hair particles could ever be brought back because it had a right to be where it was at."
Wrenn said all he ever had was circumstantial evidence. Evidence he believes, had he had the chance, could have led to a considerable case against Turner's step mother.
Wrenn said the search for five-year-old Turner began the day he disappeared. He said dozens of investigators were on Victor Lee Turner's property all weekend long. Wrenn said he finds it suspicious no investigator was able to find the child's body in the camper.
The elder Turner allegedly found the body Sunday.
"Pulled the cabinet right open and said -- 'here he is here he is'," Wrenn recalled. "'I found him.' This is what they told me, and of course, he was dead."
Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis said Wednesday investigators searched the spot where Turner was found several times. He said reports indicate he wasn't there before.

Lewis said there is some evidence in the 27-year-old reports he believes he may be able to use.
