On November 30, 1971, Bobbie Turner, a 38-year-old white female beautician, was found murdered in her beauty shop in Melrose, Florida. Pat Marr, a 22-year-old white female beautician, was discovered dead in the same establishment. The killings shocked the small community and became part of a broader investigation into a series of violent crimes linked to the McCrary-Taylor family.

Investigators found similarities between Turner and Marr’s deaths and other attacks attributed to the McCrary-Taylor group, a nomadic family whose crimes in the early 1970s spanned Florida, Texas, Colorado, and Utah. The family reportedly robbed businesses, abducted female employees and assaulted and murdered some victims; ballistics and other forensic evidence tied them to multiple homicides. Sherman McCrary and Carl Taylor were later convicted and given life sentences; Sherman McCrary died by suicide in prison in 1988. Other family members, including Carolyn McCrary and Ginger McCrary, faced charges with varying sentences.

Are there surviving friends, coworkers, or family members who remember Bobbie Turner or Pat Marr and can add details about their lives or the day of the murders?
