The arrest warrant for Turner said between May 3 and May 24, Turner failed to produce evidence or a known felony, knowing such evidence exists.
The warrant did not say what that evidence was.
Turner remains in custody at the Oconee County Detention Center on a combined $40,000 surety bond.
Turner will also be required to wear an electronic monitoring device, as a condition of bond, should she be released.
“Based upon evidence gathered during our investigation into the missing person case involving Faith Roach, investigators learned that Turner withheld evidence and did not disclose or produce that evidence to Investigators at the time she was asked about it,” says Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw. “Based upon probable cause, investigators obtained arrest warrants against Turner.”
Markus Walters is also charged in the missing person case.

An arrest warrant for Walter says he is charged with perjury for "corruptly swear falsely and materially that he was present during the commission of a crime and that he had advance knowledge of a conspiracy to commit said crime."
The warrant said the perjury happened on Aug. 22, 2022.
Crenshaw also spoke Wednesday about Kevin Maler's connection to the case.
He said during an investigation into Roach's disappearance, investigators determined Maler was responsible for the 2019 death of Kevin Craig.
The sheriff in Oconee County, South Carolina, provided an update on the case of a woman reported missing in 2019 and announced two arrests in the case.
