Turner told police he heard Work yelling for him. He ran outside and found Colton was not breathing normally. Investigators indicate he may have been having a seizure. Turner told investigators he climbed into the car and was going to drive the toddler to the hospital but Work told him they’d get in trouble and Colton would be taken from them.
Instead, Turner drove to a motel where Work put ice on Colton’s head because he seemed hot.
Work told investigators she fell asleep and discovered Colton was dead the next morning.
Meanwhile, investigators spoke with Colton Turner’s mother, Meagan Work, and asked her if there would be any signs of injury to the boy’s body. According to the document, Work told officers there would be a large “bump” on his head from falling down days before. She also said there would probably be bruising on his body.
“Colton had hit his head on the air conditioning unit inside of the motel room as the result of Colton being assaulted. From that point, Colton was unable to walk and was not acting normal,” the document reads.
He was unwell with a seizure and a temp and instead of taking him to a hospital you drive to a motel, where he also hits his head on an AC unit as a result of an assault? :banghead:
My interpretation is that they were staying in a hotel. They day before Work brought him to Turner's work is when he hit his head as the result of the assault. The next day he was acting differently/suffering the results of the head injury and then had a reported seizure. It was then that they returned back to the hotel and kept him there instead of taking him to the hospital (because he had bumps and bruises on him from the aforementioned assault).
But WHAT assault? And by whom? Or are these just two completely different scenarios, one from MT and one from MW, neither of which may be the truth??
We'll probably never know. She is trying to paint herself in the best light possible (taking "care" of him in the motel). What is telling is who was honest with LE and who wasn't. She's lied from the get-go, and probably still is. At least Turner was decent enough to lead LE to his remains. I'm sure she was shocked when that was revealed to her.
