Today: Where Is Joe Turner Now? Family, Murder Case Follow Up Details 

The 25-year-old woman had the mental capacity of a young adolescent, according to Jordan’s family. On November 26, 2017, her mother notified the Clay County Sheriff’s Office that she was missing. The neighborhood police department then launched a significant search effort.

Two weeks later, detectives found Cooper dead and covered up the attic insulation of a house. Near her body, her clothes and bedding were found, but her underwear was not. They also discovered a used adhesive bandage.

Cooper had cuts and scrapes on her legs, neck, and chest, according to the medical examiner. Cooper died of asphyxiation, according to an autopsy, and a sexual assault toolkit was gathered.

As the hunt for a suspect continued, Turner was the only person of interest in a separate burglary and grand theft investigation. Turner was taken into custody by the police on those charges in December 2017.

When the police searched his attic, where he was hiding at the time, they found a bag of women’s clothing as well as a pair of women’s underwear.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement executed a search warrant and removed the pair of underwear for inspection. The underwear’s DNA matched Cooper’s.

Moreover, Turner’s DNA matched those obtained from the Sexual Assault Kit and the adhesive bandage. Following the test result, Turner was put in custody.
