Kelsey Turner Arrested In Connection To California Doctor’s Murder

According to a NY Daily News report, The FBI has arrested a model featured in “Playboy Italia” and “Maxim” in connection with the murder of a California doctor, recently found dead in the trunk of a car. Kelsey Turner is accused of killing the 71-year-old psychiatrist and was taken into custody in Stockton on March 21, the LAVPD announced in a press release Thursday night. She is currently awaiting extradition back to Clark County to face a murder charge.

Officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department earlier this month discovered Dr. Thomas Burchard bludgeoned to death inside an abandoned vehicle, parked at the Lake Mead National Recreational Area, just outside Las Vegas. The Clark County Sheriff’s Coroner said he died from blunt force trauma to the head and ruled his death a homicide.

So far, it’s been unclear how investigators connected Turner with the murder, but her mother told KSBW that her 25-year-old daughter had been friendly with the Burchard for years. He allegedly also paid for a rental home in Salinas, where Turner lived with her mother and children for “about a year,” according to a neighbor.

Yikes Turner is slated to appear in San Joaquin County court on April 8.

Killer Mike recently spoke about how voter suppression efforts in Georgia had a negative impact on Black neighborhoods, and also in the election to get Stacey Abrams into the Governor’s mansion.

How tragic!

In what police originally thought was a mass suicide plot, they’ve slapped a mother and her teen daughter with murder charges. According to NY Daily News, a medical examiner’s report found that four of the victims, including two 9-year-old twins, died of asphyxiation while another died of strangulation.

The bodies of the five family members were discovered Feb. 25 in an apartment in Morrisville, Pennsylvania.

Shana S. Decree, 45, and her daughter Dominique Decree, 19, were charged with five counts each of homicide and one count of conspiracy in the deaths of Shana Decree’s children, Naa’Irah Smith, 25, and Damon Decree Jr., 13 of Morrisville; Shana Decree’s sister, Jamilla Campbell, 42, of Trenton; and Campbell’s 9-year-old twin daughters, Imani and Erika Allen.

Family members told a local news station that some type of religious cult might have played a role, but police have not released any other details of their investigation.

The two suspects are scheduled to appear in court April 25 for a preliminary hearing.
