Leamon Carrol Turnage, a 69-year-old white man, and his wife Robyn Turnage, 57, were found dead in their Hawthorne, California, home on October 22, 2010, after concerned family members requested a welfare check when the couple had been unreachable for several days. Leamon Turnage had been strangled; both victims were discovered together and investigators treated the deaths as the result of a violent home invasion robbery.

A day after the bodies were found, 53-year-old John Wesley Ewell was arrested on suspicion of murdering the Turnages. Investigators said they found substantial evidence linking Ewell to the scene, including surveillance footage showing someone attempting to use the couple’s stolen ATM cards. Authorities alleged the perpetrator gained entry by posing as a utility worker, bound the couple, killed them, and stole valuables. Reports also connected Ewell to other violent home-invasion incidents in the area during a two-month period in 2010.

The Turnages were described as active and well-regarded in their community and church, and their deaths deeply affected members of their congregation. Does anyone in Hawthorne remember unusual utility workers, suspicious visitors, or activity near the Turnages’ home in October 2010?
