Some states don’t allow you to smile for your license photo. A school photo would be better.

Smiling for DMV photo is permitted in VA.

This is a crazy story but i wouldn't be surprised if he offed himself.

Walking into the woods with a gun in Wise county is a very ordinary occurrence.

Yeah, as someone who grew up in the area, it’s not unusual at all. People would likely think he was just out hunting

I mean, under the circumstances and the weather, I'd agree he is most likely gone. I can't imagine IF he had a place to shelter or a friend to assist him what kind of end game he could come up with.

With where he lives he may be a bushcraft hobbyist or some such but I agree on the weather as camping in this would take some serious prep.

Turner's family attorney has now revealed how the 46-year-old left his car, keys, contact lens supplies, glasses, prescription daily medication and wallet - with his license and all of his cash inside - at the house at the time of his disappearance.

And... it's supposed to snow 1 - 3" starting tonight (Thursday) in SW Virginia.

Touchdown Talk article.....A shocking new twist has exploded in the disappearance of Virginia high school coach Travis Turner — as a school employee tied to the football program has been suddenly placed on leave, sending the investigation into overdrive. Turner vanished in the middle of an undefeated season, and now detectives are digging into internal tensions, late-night arguments, unexplained financial discrepancies, and a string of strange incidents reported in the 72 hours before he disappeared. The abrupt suspension has ignited wild speculation that someone inside the program may know far more than they’ve admitted — perhaps even the truth about Turner’s last movements and the real reason he walked away… or was forced to. With police tightening the timeline and families on edge, locals fear this case is no longer just about a missing coach — but about a secret that someone is desperate to keep buried.
