Any work benefits that she could collect off of? Pension etc? He hasn't been found guilty YET.

Interesting. Technically it is his retirement. She may qualify for it at the right time.

Good point, hopefully that’s possible.

Good point, hopefully that’s possible.

Hopefully, his wife has community and family financial support. Nearing two months, Christmas, etc. Has to be a tough time for her to sleep at night and function during the day.

I have a feeling that she may be glad he's gone, wherever he is.

There must be a small a fear he might return and expect her help. Until and unless he's found, I doubt she can feel completely relaxed.

WHERE is he? I know he's still alive . . . somewhere.*

*Only the good die young.

Possibly hopped on a cargo train as it crossed that river? Could be long gone before they even started searching.

Came here looking for an update and see there's nothing new. Maybe he'll be found somewhere after the snow melts? I'd be very surprised if he fled and is hiding somewhere, but it's happened before.

'Victim' of fugitive football coach Travis Turner breaks silence

Turner led the Union High School Bears to an undefeated season before vanishing from his home in Appalachia, Virginia, on November 20 when cops were on their way to speak to him.

www.dailymail.co.uk

The alleged victim in the case involving missing football coach Travis Turner has spoken out for the first time, claiming they were made to feel like 'the problem.'
'I did not feel like a victim... I felt like I was the problem. I felt like I had embarrassed the school, damaged the reputation of the coaching staff and disrupted something I was supposed to protect instead of myself.'

They also called on Wise County Schools Superintendent Mike Goforth to stand down.

Sounds like much of the upper administration was rotten ?
Sorry for the victims whom it appears they tried to silence.
Shame on that school.
Jmo.

Good ol' victim blaming
So infuriating!

After reading the article, I really do have to wonder what is/was going on at that school. Four sex offenders on staff in a short period of time seems to be like an unusually high percentage.

That's some serious grooming, if you ask me.
