The family of a missing Virginia antique shop owner believes he was murdered
PERFECT – The two sons of a Virginia man are looking for answers after their father disappeared in April, and believe there may be something sinister behind their father’s unexpected disappearance.
Kenneth “Kenny” Turner, 79, was living a quiet life as an antique store owner in Fieldale, Virginia, when he disappeared on April 12.
“I think somebody took him somewhere, but where, I don’t know,” Turner’s son, Michael Turner, told Fox News Digital. “So that both his cars were left at home and his wallet, it was like he was riding home. Because he left the light on the porch.”
Michael added that his father’s front door does not close all the way unless it is pulled hard, and the door was closed in the morning when he saw that his father was not there.

“[H]I actually had to close the door,” Michael said. “So my thing is, somebody picked him up again [did] something with him, but I don’t know what and who.”
In the week before his disappearance, Kenny had just been in the hospital with high blood pressure, so Michael and his brother, Bryant, regularly checked on their father to make sure he was taking his medicine and getting better. Michael had visited his father at home on the Wednesday before he disappeared on Saturday, while Bryant had seen his father last Friday.
“I don’t know what to think,” Bryant told Fox News Digital about his father’s disappearance.
He noticed that Kenny’s foot was swollen the night before he went missing, which made him think that he couldn’t just leave home. The night before his disappearance, Bryant told his father that he should sit down, relax and watch TV. He would be back in the morning to help with the road auction Kenny was planning to have at his antique shop on Saturday morning.

“I locked the door, I left,” Bryant said.
Michael and Bryant would help their father prepare for his driveway sale together on Saturday morning. Instead, for a few hours, the brothers drove back and forth, separately, from the antique store to Kenny’s house trying to find Kenny – thinking maybe he was out for breakfast, or maybe he was with another brother – until they realized something was up. which is wrong.

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office said it is still investigating Kenny’s disappearance but has not found any signs of the father’s disappearance, and there are no known suspects in his disappearance.
“I have a feeling he’s dead somewhere.”
“For him to be gone for such a long time without meeting me or my brother, I get the feeling that he is dead somewhere,” said Michael, adding that he believes that someone may have killed his father.

Michael’s only theory about who might have been targeting his father is a cousin whom he describes as “the man.”
“He’s been in trouble before. You are a freeloader and a bum, in my opinion. So, like I said, if he goes to my father and asks to borrow something, and my father says no, he’s kind of upset and does something with him, but I don’t know.”
