The wife of Travis Turner, a Virginia high school football coach wanted for alleged child pornography and solicitation of a minor, has removed her presence from social media platforms amid a rapidly spreading manhunt.
Authorities have issued multiple arrest warrants for Turner, who is accused of possessing explicit material involving minors and attempting to solicit a child. Law enforcement agencies across the region continue searching for him, urging the public to report any information related to his whereabouts.
Following growing public attention and media reports, Turner’s wife has deleted her online profiles. Investigators and local outlets noted that her social media accounts were taken down shortly after police publicly identified her husband as a suspect.
Turner had previously been a respected figure in Virginia's high school football community, making the allegations especially shocking for parents, students, and colleagues who knew him. Local schools have issued brief statements expressing concern for student safety and full cooperation with authorities.
“Our priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of our students while law enforcement conducts its investigation,” a school district representative said.
As the investigation develops, police emphasize that Turner should be considered dangerous and may be attempting to evade capture. Federal authorities are believed to be assisting in the case.
