Detectives Seek More Potential Victims Of Sexual Predator Who Took Women 'Ghost Hunting'
SOUTHEAST TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) - San Jacinto County and Montgomery County Detectives are searching for potential victims of former reserve Texas Peace Officer David Lynn Turner, who's facing two counts of sexual assault.
Detectives said Turner, who's from Houston, targeted several of his victims through various social media platforms and dating app.
He's alleged to have driven the women to remote locations in San Jacinto County, and surrounding counties, under the guise of "Ghost Hunting" where he would then sexually force himself upon the women in various ways.
Turner is very familiar with law enforcement, having worked over two years as a reserve Texas Peace Officer in Harris County between 2012 and 2015. As a result of the joint investigation, Turner was arrested on May 4, 2021, charged with two counts of sexual assault, and is currently in the San Jacinto County Jail with a $500,000 bond.
It is believed that Turner's activities began as early as December of 2018 in the greater Southeast Texas region with potential victims from Beaumont, Galveston, Katy, The Woodlands, Coldspring and Livingston, Texas.
San Jacinto County and Montgomery County Detectives are still actively investigating this matter.
