The family of a woman killed just months before her 19th birthday is calling for justice now that a man has been arrested for her murder. Deputies with the Colombia County Sheriff’s Office say the victim knew her accused killer.
Action News Jax spoke with Coyoete Turner’s mother, who said it has been an extremely difficult two months without Turner. While they’ve made an arrest, she believes there’s more to the story.Turner was going to be 19 years old this Friday, but her life was tragically cut short in September.
The 18-year-old was found dead on the edge of a field in Columbia County. Deputies said her body was partially burned and she wasn’t identified for roughly two days. Her mother, Eleanor Houston, called the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office after she didn’t hear from her for over 24 hours. Now two months later, investigators arrested John Bowen, a registered sex offender, for murder and tampering with evidence. He was already in jail on unrelated charges.“How can I trust people when it’s our friends and families that done this to our family?,” she said.His arrest report says deputies spotted him on security footage at a nearby store around 1:45 a.m., saying he changed clothes in a car before going inside.
