A veteran detective warned that the search for missing Virginia high school football coach Travis Turner might have a bleak outcome. "It almost becomes like looking for a needle in the haystack, particularly in that region of the Appalachian Mountains," retired law enforcement veteran and criminology professor Dr. Ken Lang told the Daily Mail on Saturday, December 6. Turner, 46, went missing on November 20, last seen by family members walking into the woods behind his home while carrying a firearm.
