Jeannette Turner, 73, and her husband Hilton Turner, 75, were found murdered in their East Hale Street home in Augusta, Georgia after being shot sometime after 6:40 p.m. on the evening of February 16, 2021. The couple were discovered on February 17 when Jeannette’s twin sister and her husband went to check on them and found the front door open. Jeannette had been mostly bed-ridden and cared for by her husband; the Turners had been married 55 years and were described as retired, respected community members.

Investigators with the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office say nothing appeared to have been taken from the home. Authorities have suggested the killer or killers may have been familiar with the Turners, but no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew the Turners, their routines, visitors to their home, or saw something unusual in that neighborhood the night of February 16–17, investigators would welcome any information.
