Family of missing woman Robbie Turner search for answers, four years on
on January 23, 2021 at 5:47 am
WELLFORD, S.C. (FOX Carolina) — Where is Robbie Turner? This week marks four years since she disappeared from Wellford and her family is still searching for answers. As days, weeks, and years go by, Robbie’s family said it never gets any easier. After four years they’re still no closer to finding out what happened, but they believe someone in the community knows something. “We are going to pray that God opens up their hearts and opens up their souls so they can start talking and let us know they know something because this is four years. It’s been four years,” Turner’s sister, Nellie Vernon said. Robbie Turner disappeared in January 2017 while walking along Ridge Road near Highway 292 in Wellford. Robbie had walked up and down this road for years, going back and forth to her mom’s house who lives nearby, but on January 16, 2017 she walked out of her house for the last time. What happened next is still a mystery. “We were raised here all our lives since we were little kids. From here we would leave to go walking up there where she got missing from so that’s the saddest part about it. She got missing in her own community,” Vernon said. According to her family, Robbie left home without her personal belongings, including her purse, wallet and medicine. She had a pink walking cane with her but it’s never been found. Robbie has not been seen or heard from since the night she disappeared, causing her family to fear the worst. Her daughter is convinced someone in the Wellford community knows more about her mom’s disappearance. “Do the right thing. It doesn’t matter if you feel like you’re going to tell on someone. It shouldn’t matter. What should matter is that I’m about to be 22 years old this year and I’m growing up without a mother, Kaxena Turner said. Anyone with information about Robbie’s disappearance can leave an anonymous tip with Crimestoppers by calling 1-888-CRIMESC. Her family is offering a reward for information leading to her whereabouts.
Clemson man helped investigators identify murder victims from 1976 in Sumter County
on January 23, 2021 at 2:42 am
CLEMSON, SC (FOX Carolina) - This week, the Sumter County Sheriff's Office announced they have identified a couple that was killed nearly 45 years ago. Pamela Mae Buckley and James Paul Freund were identified as the couple killed in the summer of 1976 in Lynchburg, SC. In addition to the work of the sheriff's office, it was an Upstate man who helped heat up the cold case. Matthew McDaniel of Clemson has been looking at the case out of Sumter County for the <a href="https://sumtermysterycouple.com/" target="_blank">past eight years</a>. It was McDaniel's suggestion to authorities to partner with the <a href="https://dnadoeproject.org/" target="_blank">DNA Doe Project</a>, which uses genetic genealogy to identify John and Jane Does, that helped name James and Pamela after more than 40 years. McDaniel has spent his free time investigating the case he said wouldn't get out of his head. "I first came across the case online like a lot of other people did and I think the one thing that really stood out to me was the fact that the couple was never identified after so many years when it seems like they should have been able to be identified. This case is unprecedented that two people are murdered and never identified this many years later," he explained. McDaniel has no connection to either of the victims, he doesn't even have any experience in Criminal Justice. He has a degree in Civil Engineering. "I just like to take things apart and see how they work and I have an appetite for mysteries," McDaniel explained. He has worked with the Sumter County Sheriff's Office over the last few years, while conducting what he calls his own investigation. <a href="https://cms8.revize.com/revize/sumtersheriff/Document_Center/Division/News/News%20Releases/012121%20News%20Release%20-%201976%20John%20and%20Jane%20Doe%20likely%20identified%2044%20years%20later.pdf" target="_blank">On Thursday</a>, the Sumter County Sheriff's Office announced a break in the case. Pamela Mae Buckley and James Paul Freund were identified as the couple. "It is our hope that this news will bring the families some closure," said Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis. The big break came after McDaniel told investigators they should reach out to the DNA Doe Project. Thanks to that conversation, James and Pamela were identified by the organization. "It really is a big relief for me personally," said McDaniel. The Sheriff's Office did announce plans to reopen the investigation and follow up with a person of interest. McDaniel says that he has turned over everything he has gathered on the case over the last eight years to investigators, and says he is hopeful an arrest in the case will happen in the future.
