Community shaken as coach vanishes amid charges

Travis Turner, a well-known high school football coach in Appalachia, Virginia, disappeared into the woods just as police were set to question him about disturbing child crime allegations. What’s unsettling is that his family says he’d wandered off like this before, but this time he left behind everything—car keys, wallet, even his medication. Authorities, including the FBI and state police, are still searching, but there’s been no sign of him since November 20. The whole situation has left the community on edge, with many wondering how something like this could happen so close to home. What are your thoughts on the search and the impact on local families? #Sports #AppalachiaVA #CommunityNews
