Alissa Turney’s Murder Is Finally Solved 20 Years Later

Who would have thought that TikTok could be so useful? The new platform (that only those under 30 even use) has actually been a major factor in getting a man committed for taking the life of his own stepdaughter. A young woman by the name of Sarah Turney has used TikTok, as well as her own podcast, to advocate for her stepsister’s unsolved murder 20 years ago.

In 2001, 17-year-old Alissa Turney disappeared – just like that: vanished, gone, nowhere to be found. The high school junior was living with her stepsister Sarah and Sarah’s father – her stepfather – Michael Turney. Where was the mom? Well, Alissa’s mother had passed away, so the girls were living with Michael.
