Questions remain after new details released in California doctor's death

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Less than a month after police found a prominent California doctor dead inside the trunk of an abandoned car, News 3's search for answers has produced a glimpse inside the police investigation.

Has arrest report in article.
Arrest report has some previously unreported details, I think.

Such as the doctor's girlfriend has some more opinions:
  • That the doctor might have early stage of Alzheimer's (thus poor judgement, I suppose)
  • That KT's boyfriend was also involved in the murder (don't know what evidence she has on this)
 
  • #22
Yes, I noticed the Dr.'s gf mentioned KT's bf. No way can KT put a body into the trunk by herself....

The doctor's elderly girlfriend who believes that he is only a nice old man that had paid over $300,000 to the arrested 🤬🤬🤬🤬 model and her mother might also want to get evaluated. j/s

Oops. The "model" who was arrested is pregnant. Did she tell the doctor that this was his child?

Kelsey Turner is reportedly pregnant and has not been extradited to Las Vegas because of her pregnancy. Turner will eventually be moved back to Southern Nevada, but details are still being worked out.

That sounds like she's heavily pregnant :eek:

Well no child support possible now.. Unless doctor has no will, and the child could test for dna relation. Still, a risky move to murder him for that!

I wonder if she was extorting money from him by telling him he was the father of her unborn child. Articles state he had given her over $300,000. It's possible he was murdered when he stopped paying.

Two more arrest warrants issued for the murder of Dr. Thomas Burchard
More arrests...

Turner's father tells Action News that Kennison is Turner's boyfriend and he also claims that Kennison is Turner's alibi.

[Snip]

Turner is due in a San Joaquin County court April 8 at 8:30 am. Action News will be at the court hearing.

Can't access this article - dang EU rules...

Can someone give a little more info on this? Kennison's first name maybe... And it says "two" arrest warrants. Who's the other arrest warrant for? TIA! :)

Sorry I didn't realise there is a block:p

[More snips]
Warrants were issued for Jon Kennison and Diana Pena Friday. They are both facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder and open murder with the use of a deadly weapon.

[...]
Kennison has posted on one of his social media pages that Turner is the "love my life".

I haven't checked out those two, would appreciate any follow up;)

Knowing KT's current condition, one pair of helping hands perhaps wasn't enough to get rid of the doctor.

Yes, sound like both the mom, and daughter were willing to deal with the doctor as long as he kept paying. Something had to happen for him to stop though. Maybe they were trying to extort more money from him like you say.

I dont think the child is his. Its probably her boyfriend's, but I do think she could have lied claiming it was his.

Maybe he knew it wasn't and decided to stop being her cash cow.

Once she had to fend for herself again, I think she, and her boyfriend decided to murder him, and the mom knew it too.

I hope this old fool didnt leave her a life insurance policy.

2 new arrest warrants issued for the murder of Dr. Thomas Burchard

I just saw this on KSBW and came over to post. Looks like I have some catching up to do! KT is PREGNANT? I feel sorry for that unfortunate child. I hope s/he will be raised in a good home.

As most of us suspected, KT couldn't have put Dr. Burchard in the trunk of a car by herself. Now we have two other arrests.

Back to catching up!

Ex-Playboy Italia model in Stockton court

April 8, 2019

"STOCKTON —The former model arrested in connection with the killing of a 71-year-old Salinas doctor made a brief court appearance Monday in San Joaquin County Superior Court....

Turner previously had waived extradition and is waiting for Nevada authorities to pick her up from San Joaquin County.

During the extradition hearing Monday, Deputy District Attorney J.C. Weydert stated that the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department originally had plans to have Turner transported, but new information, which was not disclosed in court, had come forward and another hearing to confirm extradition was scheduled for April 16 in San Joaquin County Superior Court.

Turner is expected to be in Nevada by April 12.

According to court records, two arrest warrants were issued Friday for two people believed to be involved in the death of Burchard.

Jon Logan Kennison, 27, and 30-year-old Diana Nicole Pena are facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder and of murder with the use of a deadly weapon."

Kelsey Turner makes first court appearance
So she is 16 weeks pregnant and they're having trouble making travel arrangements? SMH. In the video, the narrator states that Dr. Burchard's body was found in the trunk of KT's car. This is the first time I've heard that the body was in the trunk of HER car. I hope they find the other two soon.
