- 0:05Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Is this the tip of
- 0:14Speaker 1: the iceberg? Are there more victims out there? What does
- 0:18Speaker 1: this guy have to do to get arrested and put
- 0:21Speaker 1: behind bars? I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank
- 0:26Speaker 1: you for being with us here at Fox Nation in
- 0:28Speaker 1: series X one eleven. Take a listen to our cut
- 0:32Speaker 1: eleven our friends at wc SC Live five. Court records
- 0:36Speaker 1: So nineteen year old Bowen Turner was arrested and charged
- 0:39Speaker 1: with disorderly conduct this morning. According to a report from
- 0:43Speaker 1: the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office, when a deputy arrived on
- 0:46Speaker 1: North Road in Orangeburg just before midnight, they found Turner
- 0:50Speaker 1: walking in the middle of the road. The deputy put
- 0:52Speaker 1: on the blue lights and when Turner started walking toward
- 0:55Speaker 1: the car, the report states, he was staggering and smelt
- 0:58Speaker 1: like alcohol. According to a fish, Turner said at first
- 1:01Speaker 1: he was coming from a bar, but then changed his
- 1:03Speaker 1: answer to say he was coming from the woods. The
- 1:06Speaker 1: report states Turner waved his Miranda rights and answered the
- 1:09Speaker 1: questions the deputy asked, saying he had been at a
- 1:11Speaker 1: bar on North Road near Lake Edisto Road, where he
- 1:15Speaker 1: had consumed three alcoholic drinks despite being underage. Officials say, well,
- 1:19Speaker 1: at the detention center, Turner was told he had to
- 1:22Speaker 1: wear a mask, and he responded by saying, if you
- 1:25Speaker 1: try and put that mask on me, I will bite
- 1:27Speaker 1: your finger off. According to the report, Turner was told
- 1:30Speaker 1: he was being recorded and then he allowed a mask
- 1:32Speaker 1: to be put on him. Okay, that right there tells
- 1:35Speaker 1: me he knows darn well what he's doing. When he
- 1:38Speaker 1: realizes he's being recorded, he suddenly straightens up and puts
- 1:41Speaker 1: on the mask. You know, just think about it. If
- 1:44Speaker 1: this guy, drunk as a skunk can do whatever he
- 1:49Speaker 1: wants with immunity, he's on straight probation on his third
- 1:57Speaker 1: rape accusation. I find his victim extremely credible. Now he
- 2:04Speaker 1: can walk into a bar under age and drink three
- 2:09Speaker 1: liquor drinks. Thank you for being with us, I Meanancy Grace,
- 2:13Speaker 1: this is crime Stories. Thanks for being with us on
- 2:17Speaker 1: Fox Nation in series XM one eleven. Sometimes it leaves
- 2:22Speaker 1: you speechless, staggering around drunk. That's bad enough, but with
- 2:30Speaker 1: three rape claims under your belt, take a listen to
- 2:34Speaker 1: our cut one. The father of Dallas Dollar says in
- 2:38Speaker 1: twenty eighteen his daughter was the president of her senior class,
- 2:42Speaker 1: Smart and outgoing, a friend to almost everyone she met.
- 2:46Speaker 1: That was just her. She had a huge heart. One night,
- 2:48Speaker 1: Dallas came home from a party intoxicated, distraught, and covered
- 2:52Speaker 1: in these bruises, saying she had been sexually assaulted. It
- 2:56Speaker 1: was very upsetting, obviously, and very young, disheartening and very
- 3:05Speaker 1: I like you use the word tragic. Once we found
- 3:07Speaker 1: out who the alleged individual was Dallas, his family says
- 3:11Speaker 1: they later pressed charges against her classmate, sixteen year old
- 3:14Speaker 1: Bowen Turner. Public record show he was arrested and charged
- 3:18Speaker 1: with first agreed criminal sexual conduct in Bamberg County in
- 3:22Speaker 1: January of twenty nineteen. Turner was released on bond, but
- 3:25Speaker 1: was required to wear a GPS monitor. A few months later,
- 3:29Speaker 1: a judge allowed him to remove it. But less than
- 3:32Speaker 1: five months after that first arrest, while he's still out
- 3:36Speaker 1: on bond, he's arrested again Listen to cut too. But
- 3:41Speaker 1: less than five months after that first arrest, while he
- 3:45Speaker 1: was still out on bond, court documents show Turner was
- 3:48Speaker 1: arrested again. He was slapped with that same charge, first
- 3:51Speaker 1: degree criminal sexual conduct, and affidavit reveals the arrest also
- 3:56Speaker 1: stems from a party, this time in Orangeburg County. The
- 3:59Speaker 1: victim was not named because she was a miner at
- 4:01Speaker 1: the time, but Chloe Bess says she was the one
- 4:04Speaker 1: sexually assaulted by Turner in June of twenty nineteen when
- 4:07Speaker 1: she was sixteen. I just remember being like so petrified,
- 4:11Speaker 1: like I was frozen. I honestly just remember sitting there
- 4:14Speaker 1: looking at the stars. She's like praying for it to
- 4:16Speaker 1: be done, just waiting for it to be OVERWRAS. You're
- 4:20Speaker 1: hearing Chloe Bess one Bow and Turner's many victims, and
- 4:26Speaker 1: she's joining us today along with Carl Staller. This is
- 4:31Speaker 1: another rape victim, Dallas Staller's father. You heard his voice
- 4:35Speaker 1: earlier describing his daughter as having great grades, the class president.
- 4:42Speaker 1: She was bullied so badly by other students and teachers
- 4:48Speaker 1: when she leveled rape claims against Bow and Turner. This
- 4:54Speaker 1: little girl committed suicide. And there's a third victim as
- 5:00Speaker 1: a juvenile, a third rate victim whose name we're not releasing.
- 5:04Speaker 1: They are joining us along with Sarah Ford, the legal
- 5:07Speaker 1: director of South Carolina Victim Assistance Network, Karen Start New
- 5:11Speaker 1: York psychologists joining us out of Manhattan Katie Cammon, breaking
- 5:16Speaker 1: news anchor, investigative reporter on the case from the very
- 5:19Speaker 1: beginning and topo Padilla, Bill Bondsman, longtime friend, thirty nine
- 5:26Speaker 1: years in the business and president a professional Bill Agents
- 5:29Speaker 1: of the US. Katie Cammon, what is going on? Where
- 5:36Speaker 1: is this guy Bowen Turner stumbling around drunk? It's happening
- 5:40Speaker 1: again in Orangeberg, where one of these rate cases took place,
- 5:44Speaker 1: in that same county where Bowen is from, where he
- 5:48Speaker 1: went to school, where he, I guess still is hanging out,
- 5:51Speaker 1: hanging out. I guess that's one way to put it.
- 5:54Speaker 1: What I don't understand, Sarah Ford, is why a bar
- 5:58Speaker 1: would let him. I mean, at first they said, we
- 6:01Speaker 1: don't know if he came walking out of the woods
- 6:03Speaker 1: or from a bar. Well, unless they're serving hard liquor
- 6:06Speaker 1: out behind a pine tree, I guarantee you he came
- 6:09Speaker 1: from a bar, which leads me to the bar. What
- 6:13Speaker 1: bar was this serving an underage rapist. I think there's
- 6:17Speaker 1: some allegations, Nancy, that it was a bar named Ta
- 6:21Speaker 1: tad t as in toy a d as in Delta. Yes,
- 6:25Speaker 1: M but I don't think that that has been confirmed.
- 6:29Speaker 1: But there were some allegations that he spent upwards of
- 6:32Speaker 1: one hundred dollars in that establishment. Who whoa one hundred
- 6:37Speaker 1: dollars at one sitting? That's my understanding, Okay, Carl Staller.
- 6:42Speaker 1: It ain't a crime unless you're under age. So what
- 6:46Speaker 1: bar is selling this underage rapist? One hundred dollars worth
- 6:52Speaker 1: of liquor? How many drinks? Is that mine? More than three?
- 6:55Speaker 1: We can agree on that much, Carl Staller, Yes, ma'am,
- 6:59Speaker 1: I would say so. And that's, uh, that's what probably
- 7:02Speaker 1: are unless it's three very large drinks. Um. I don't
- 7:05Speaker 1: know if it's what do you call him towards or whatever,
- 7:08Speaker 1: So maybe it's something like that. But anyway, nevertheless, like
- 7:13Speaker 1: Sarah Ford said, as I think it's supposedly or allegedly
- 7:17Speaker 1: a bar out on what we call the North Road
- 7:19Speaker 1: in Orangeford County and it's known as Tad's Bar. Um,
- 7:24Speaker 1: that's what is allegedly the establishment he was in and
- 7:29Speaker 1: uh and spent the one hundred dollars plus on I'm
- 7:33Speaker 1: assuming that I would have to assume based on the
- 7:36Speaker 1: reason for as the rest on alcoholic beverage. What do
- 7:39Speaker 1: we know? Back to you, Katie Cammon joining me with
- 7:42Speaker 1: Live five there in Charleston? Was it? Did he spend
- 7:46Speaker 1: one hundred dollars on booze just for himself according to
- 7:50Speaker 1: police that report. Just drink three alcoholic drinks at that
- 7:55Speaker 1: business is all we know for sure. Do you know
- 7:57Speaker 1: what business it is? Is it Tads? Did Tads? What
- 8:00Speaker 1: was listed in the police report? Yes, mister Staller, I
- 8:04Speaker 1: know that Tads is located on the North Road. What
- 8:09Speaker 1: else can you tell me about it? How could they
- 8:11Speaker 1: not know in a town the size of an area
- 8:15Speaker 1: the size of Orangeburg County, much the size of where
- 8:18Speaker 1: I grew up? How could you not know that this
- 8:22Speaker 1: is accused Cereal rapist Bowing Turner and that he's under age. Yes, ma'am.
- 8:28Speaker 1: I don't know how they would not know that. Obviously,
- 8:31Speaker 1: that establishment I've been there on an official capacity for
- 8:36Speaker 1: a couple of different times, but it's got multiple TVs
- 8:40Speaker 1: in there, so as certainly is access the media and
- 8:43Speaker 1: news and that establishment, So I would guess they would
- 8:46Speaker 1: know or be familiar with that subject, mister Bowen Turner.
- 8:50Speaker 1: And obviously based on all his press releases, all the
- 8:55Speaker 1: information that's been released in the media on it, it
- 8:57Speaker 1: shouldn't know that he is not of age to purchase
- 9:02Speaker 1: alcoholic legally in South Carolina, said, I said that that
- 9:07Speaker 1: would be my I don't know how you can miss that,
- 9:10Speaker 1: but you know, hey, it could have been an off
- 9:12Speaker 1: night for him. I don't know, but I don't know
- 9:15Speaker 1: if he presented a false identification or any of that
- 9:20Speaker 1: type situation. But I couldn't speak to that for sure,
- 9:24Speaker 1: but I would dare say, yes, ma'am, they I'm pretty
- 9:28Speaker 1: sure they should have known that he was easily identifiable. Yes, ma'am.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Straight back out to Sarah Ford joining me, the legal
- 9:35Speaker 1: director of South Carolina Victim's Assistant network, Sarah Ford, what
- 9:41Speaker 1: does it take to get somebody arrested in Orangeburg County,
- 9:46Speaker 1: South Carolina. Well, apparently they have to be buying alcohol
- 9:49Speaker 1: under age and walking down the street drunk. I mean,
- 9:52Speaker 1: I guess that's at least that was the first part
- 9:55Speaker 1: of this. And obviously he was charged with disorderly conduct
- 9:59Speaker 1: and then subsequently slaps with a violation of probation warrant
- 10:03Speaker 1: for which bond was thankfully denied, So he won't be
- 10:08Speaker 1: walking down the street and hopefully anytime soon, as he's
- 10:13Speaker 1: currently housed in the Orangeburg Calhoun Regional Detention Center Time
- 10:28Speaker 1: Stories with Nancy Grace straight out to Topo Padilla. Bill Bondam,
- 10:33Speaker 1: thirty nine years and president of the Professional Bill Agents
- 10:37Speaker 1: of the US TOPO, thank you for being with us.
- 10:41Speaker 1: What do you make of a guy that keeps getting
- 10:45Speaker 1: bail or bond as it is called to different jurisdictions
- 10:48Speaker 1: over and over and over, including on three felony rape
- 10:54Speaker 1: charges on young girls, all similar m O modus opera
- 11:00Speaker 1: endi method of operation and violating it so badly. He's
- 11:05Speaker 1: got over sixty violations on his ankle monitor, going to
- 11:11Speaker 1: play golf, out to restaurants, to other private residences, restaurants
- 11:18Speaker 1: where there's alcohol like this place, even crossing the state line.
- 11:23Speaker 1: I mean, how do you get away with that? Well,
- 11:26Speaker 1: when a judge sets bond, our set by schedule. The
- 11:30Speaker 1: objective there is first and foremost public safety. And you
- 11:34Speaker 1: know no amount of money can guarantee public safety, but
- 11:37Speaker 1: there is amount of money in which it stings. You
- 11:41Speaker 1: have skin in the game and our end since we
- 11:44Speaker 1: have cosigners and deminators on a bond, and you hope
- 11:47Speaker 1: and pray that changes the ways of these people that
- 11:51Speaker 1: are arrested. That's our first objective. Secondly, and as importantly
- 11:54Speaker 1: for the victims of crime, is that these people appear
- 11:57Speaker 1: in court. You know, that is our basically our umber
- 12:00Speaker 1: one objective once bond his set so to ask why
- 12:04Speaker 1: is this guy out again and again and again. I mean, granted,
- 12:08Speaker 1: we are the one of the two countries in this
- 12:10Speaker 1: world that have been surety bond, so we do if
- 12:13Speaker 1: we're people the ability to bail themselves out of jail.
- 12:16Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is, when people like
- 12:18Speaker 1: this are not learning, at some point the justice system,
- 12:23Speaker 1: the judge needs to step in and say that's enough.
- 12:25Speaker 1: And it sounds like this gentleman did that, And I
- 12:28Speaker 1: got to comment about him going to this bar and
- 12:30Speaker 1: doing that one hundred dollars bill. The fact of the
- 12:32Speaker 1: matter is what makes me sick is to think of
- 12:35Speaker 1: he possibly could have been in there buying young ladies
- 12:38Speaker 1: or ladies drinks in an effort to get them into
- 12:40Speaker 1: a conditioning incapacitation to continue his his wrongful activities. So,
- 12:47Speaker 1: po Padilla, that is exactly where I was headed, exactly,
- 12:53Speaker 1: And I want to point out that bow and Turner
- 12:58Speaker 1: gets arrested for disorderly conduct, it's not the end of
- 13:00Speaker 1: the world being staggering around drunk. But when you're a
- 13:04Speaker 1: three time rapist and you're already on probation and you're underaged,
- 13:09Speaker 1: but catch this. He's booked on a DC and then
- 13:12Speaker 1: he is released after posting a two hundred and fifty
- 13:16Speaker 1: seven dollars bond. He's back in right now on a
- 13:21Speaker 1: violation of his probation, but he was initially released on
- 13:26Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty seven dollars on a DC disorderly conduct.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Back to what Topo Padilla just told us. You can
- 13:36Speaker 1: find him at Greg Padilla bill bonds dot com. I
- 13:39Speaker 1: want to go to a very special guest joining me
- 13:42Speaker 1: in addition to Dallas dollars Father Carl. Chloe Bess is
- 13:46Speaker 1: with me. She is one Bowen Turner's rape victims. And
- 13:55Speaker 1: you know what, Chloe, since you and I first talked,
- 13:57Speaker 1: I thought about you a lot, and it brings to
- 14:01Speaker 1: mind a serial rape case I prosecuted, and I remember
- 14:05Speaker 1: it like it was yesterday. This law before I had
- 14:08Speaker 1: gotten a job at Court TV. They Court TV were covering.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Wanted to cover a serial rape case they had already
- 14:17Speaker 1: covered gabble of gabble and murder case. I tried, and
- 14:20Speaker 1: they approached me about covering the rape case, and I
- 14:24Speaker 1: immediately said, no, no cameras in the courtroom. The rape
- 14:28Speaker 1: victims do not want to be on camera for your viewers. Later,
- 14:34Speaker 1: a couple of days later, I told the rape victims
- 14:38Speaker 1: that Court TV was interested in caring about their case
- 14:43Speaker 1: and I had turned them down. And the rape victims
- 14:47Speaker 1: and I remember it just like it was yesterday, said well,
- 14:51Speaker 1: why we didn't do anything wrong. We don't care if
- 14:54Speaker 1: people know it's us he's the one that did something wrong. Well,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and sure enough I call a Court TV back. They
- 15:02Speaker 1: did cover the case, gavel to gavel, there was conviction.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Let me add, but Chloe best. To this day, rape
- 15:10Speaker 1: victims very often do not speak out. And I am
- 15:14Speaker 1: so grateful for you, Chloe, And I'm so grateful for you,
- 15:19Speaker 1: mister Staller speaking on Dallas's behalf. Chloe, when you first
- 15:25Speaker 1: learned that bow and Turner is out staggering around drunk,
- 15:29Speaker 1: and I think he was drunk the night he raped you,
- 15:33Speaker 1: what went through your mind? I was really shocked. I
- 15:39Speaker 1: mean I figured it was only going to be a
- 15:41Speaker 1: matter of time before he messed up again or did something,
- 15:44Speaker 1: because he obviously can't learn from his mistakes or take
- 15:48Speaker 1: any responsibility for his action. So, like I said, it
- 15:52Speaker 1: was only a matter of time. I just couldn't believe
- 15:54Speaker 1: it was so soon. But I'm glad that he was
- 15:59Speaker 1: denied bond and it just validated the points that we're
- 16:02Speaker 1: trying to make. Accused serial rapist bow and Turner arrested again.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Stumbling Through is South Carolina hometown. Stinkin and I mean
- 16:17Speaker 1: stinkin drunk. Now he was given a two hundred and
- 16:22Speaker 1: fifty seven dollars bond to Topeopadala Bill bondsman. A two
- 16:27Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seven dollars bond, I've never heard of that.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Where do you get that number? They let him out? Initially, Yeah,
- 16:35Speaker 1: you know, you have to skin in the game. A
- 16:38Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty seven dollars shirty bond costs a
- 16:42Speaker 1: family or indoor a defendant about fifty dollars, and then
- 16:45Speaker 1: you have to look at the accountability aspect of it.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Is a bondsman going to go out if this person
- 16:50Speaker 1: does fail to appear in court and search for them
- 16:53Speaker 1: so they don't lose two hundred and fifty seven dollars.
- 16:55Speaker 1: There has to be skin in the game, and we
- 16:58Speaker 1: have to be real with this. I don't call for
- 17:00Speaker 1: a twenty five thousand more bond, but two hundred fifty
- 17:03Speaker 1: seven dollars is a slap in the face to the
- 17:05Speaker 1: society that had to put up with this disordering conduct
- 17:08Speaker 1: and the danger could cause the community. I was more.
- 17:11Speaker 1: I'm more worried about how it makes the rape victims
- 17:14Speaker 1: feel to see him staggering around town on probation, and
- 17:19Speaker 1: alcohol and drugs are disallowed when you are on probation,
- 17:23Speaker 1: So that's a probation violation right there. I mean, Chloe,
- 17:27Speaker 1: it just seems as if none of the rules apply
- 17:30Speaker 1: to Bow and Turner, right, you know, Sarah Ford, Legal director,
- 17:34Speaker 1: South Carolina Victim Assistant Network. Two hundred and fifty seven
- 17:38Speaker 1: dollars bond on a three time rapist. It's my understanding, Nancy,
- 17:42Speaker 1: that that is the max that a magistrate can give
- 17:45Speaker 1: on a public just early conduct in South Carolina. So
- 17:49Speaker 1: it's a little bit troubling considering his past history. But thankfully, well,
- 17:55Speaker 1: why wouldn't they hold him on a probation violation. They
- 17:58Speaker 1: attempted to do that. I believe that that's what they
- 18:00Speaker 1: tried to do that morning, and a hope was placed
- 18:04Speaker 1: on him, and that's why he was actually held. I mean,
- 18:06Speaker 1: I'm very grateful that probation was able to get there
- 18:09Speaker 1: as quickly as possible, because a lot of times a
- 18:12Speaker 1: defendant is given a bond like that two hundred fifty
- 18:15Speaker 1: seven dollars, they're released and then probation has to go
- 18:17Speaker 1: hunting for them. So I was grateful that it all
- 18:20Speaker 1: happened relatively quickly and that bond was finally denied and
- 18:25Speaker 1: at least we know where he's at. Well. Chloe bass
- 18:28Speaker 1: one Bow in Turner's rate victim said it best. She said,
- 18:32Speaker 1: I didn't think it'd be long before he quote did
- 18:34Speaker 1: something else, cause, as you know, when you don't know
- 18:37Speaker 1: a horse, look at his track, right herd take a
- 18:39Speaker 1: list an hour cut forward WCSC. According to court documents,
- 18:43Speaker 1: turners GPS monitor showed he visited dozens of different places,
- 18:48Speaker 1: including nineteen trips to golf courses, as well as outings
- 18:51Speaker 1: to restaurants, sporting good stores, and even a car dealership.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Documents say the GPS monitor showed him taking trips to
- 18:58Speaker 1: Columbia Granted and even crossing state lines to Brunswick, Georgia. Chloe,
- 19:03Speaker 1: her family and Dallas's family all say Moore should have
- 19:07Speaker 1: been done as soon as it was discovered that Turner
- 19:09Speaker 1: had violated bond. As court documents state law enforcement has
- 19:13Speaker 1: the authority to take him into custody if he violates
- 19:17Speaker 1: his bond. We have multiple bond violations. He was out
- 19:22Speaker 1: bond bond when this happened to Chloe. So it's just
- 19:26Speaker 1: like he just keeps getting pass after pass after pass.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Got a question for you, mister Staller. We have been
- 19:34Speaker 1: told that his family bow and Turner's family has actually
- 19:40Speaker 1: contacted parents the rape victims asking them to stop speaking
- 19:47Speaker 1: publicly because it was quote dampening his bright future. Do
- 19:55Speaker 1: you know what anything about that? Yes, ma'am, I can
- 19:57Speaker 1: speak to that. And let me clear that up a
- 20:00Speaker 1: little bit. Um. They there was someone a person called
- 20:05Speaker 1: my wife, an individual called my wife and spend two
- 20:07Speaker 1: or three weeks ago now um on a Wednesday night,
- 20:11Speaker 1: and uh, they were asking they identified themselves as by
- 20:16Speaker 1: the name of Adam Um and they called him a
- 20:19Speaker 1: blocked number. And that was the conversation that was took
- 20:25Speaker 1: place that when they said, you know, listen, we understand
- 20:27Speaker 1: that that and Boe sorry and he's he's he's very
- 20:31Speaker 1: sorry for what happened to Dallas and what he did
- 20:33Speaker 1: to Dallas and that type of thing he was going
- 20:35Speaker 1: with that this individual went on and on about that,
- 20:38Speaker 1: and then of course my wife responded and that during
- 20:42Speaker 1: that conversation, that individual Adam stated that um Bowen Turner
- 20:47Speaker 1: has a very bright future and um, it would be
- 20:50Speaker 1: brighter and it would be more likely to be successful
- 20:53Speaker 1: if we were to lay off of him, so to speak,
- 20:56Speaker 1: and um not bring so much attention to the case
- 20:59Speaker 1: and that type of situation. So my wife responded by saying, well,
- 21:04Speaker 1: you know, our daughter Dallas out a very bright future
- 21:08Speaker 1: as well, um, and she she'll never get a chance
- 21:12Speaker 1: to realize that that bright future that she certainly had
- 21:15Speaker 1: the potential of having. And they really didn't respond to that.
- 21:19Speaker 1: They just went back into their same statement about he
- 21:23Speaker 1: was sorry, but but we really needed to lay off
- 21:26Speaker 1: of him. And then approximately two or three days later,
- 21:31Speaker 1: I received on my phone a unblocked number from a
- 21:36Speaker 1: Jennifer Turner, who is um Bowen's Mother's name is Jennifer Turner.
- 21:41Speaker 1: That's what it came up on my telephone. I missed
- 21:44Speaker 1: that first call completely hadn't and then I saw where
- 21:47Speaker 1: I missed a call from that number and h then
- 21:50Speaker 1: again about an hour later. I was around ten thirty
- 21:52Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. Then about an hour later my phone
- 21:55Speaker 1: rang again and it showed up under Jennifer Turner. Um.
- 21:59Speaker 1: And you know, that's a fairly com common name and
- 22:02Speaker 1: it could be coincidental, But in light of all the circumstances,
- 22:07Speaker 1: I don't think that's a coincidence. But we may contact.
- 22:10Speaker 1: I did not take a call. We made contact with
- 22:12Speaker 1: Sarah Ford, our turney in, and she asked us to
- 22:16Speaker 1: block the numbers and um, you know, make sure that
- 22:19Speaker 1: we didn't didn't have any contact. But yes, now that
- 22:22Speaker 1: was that was our family that was made some contact
- 22:25Speaker 1: by a gentleman name, our individual named themselves as Adam,
- 22:29Speaker 1: and then two attempts by a Jennifer Turner name that
- 22:32Speaker 1: showed up on my caller ID. Yes, ma'am, I'm going
- 22:35Speaker 1: to get to the blasphemy of what you just said
- 22:39Speaker 1: and reported. But first, Sarah Ford legal thought I would
- 22:44Speaker 1: be very curious to find out. And this is in
- 22:46Speaker 1: the case of Dallas Staller, which apparently some people think
- 22:51Speaker 1: it's unprosecutable because she has passed away. That's bs right there. Okay,
- 22:57Speaker 1: you can prove a case without the victim of the
- 22:59Speaker 1: stand and one way you can do it is through
- 23:02Speaker 1: statements of the defendant. Okay, statements like telling people such
- 23:09Speaker 1: as his parents, I'm sorry for what I did to Dallas. Okay,
- 23:14Speaker 1: because you're just hearing Carl Staller's stating the first Adam
- 23:20Speaker 1: not my real name, that called Dallas's mother said he's sorry,
- 23:25Speaker 1: he's sorry for what he did to Dallas. I think
- 23:30Speaker 1: that phone call needs to be traced to find out
- 23:33Speaker 1: who Adam is and how does Adam know the bowing
- 23:37Speaker 1: Turner's sorry for what he did a rape Dallas starar.
- 23:42Speaker 1: That is an admission. And there is no parent child
- 23:47Speaker 1: privilege like attorney client or priest parishioner privilege. There's no
- 23:53Speaker 1: such thing like a husband or wife privilege that doesn't
- 23:56Speaker 1: exist between mother, father and child. So if he exhibited, uh,
- 24:03Speaker 1: which I doubt pretty seriously, but could this be one
- 24:08Speaker 1: of his relatives that he has spoken to saying he's
- 24:11Speaker 1: sorry for what he did to Dallas? Now quit talking
- 24:14Speaker 1: about him? What about that? It's really wild? Um, you
- 24:17Speaker 1: know I think that you know, just having quite frankly,
- 24:21Speaker 1: the nerve to reach out to the Stolar family, who has.
- 24:25Speaker 1: They've been through so much, they lost their daughter six
- 24:27Speaker 1: months ago, and to make that call is just astounding
- 24:31Speaker 1: to me. But can we use it as evident, Sarah?
- 24:34Speaker 1: Because I believe we can. I think that it's it's possible.
- 24:39Speaker 1: You know, certainly we did report that and reported the
- 24:42Speaker 1: calls from Bowen's mother, Jennifer Turner. Um, we did final
- 24:46Speaker 1: report on that. We also filed emotion to expand the
- 24:49Speaker 1: permanent restraining order in that case. But unfortunately, see, you know,
- 24:54Speaker 1: we haven't heard from the solicitor. Who is the solicitor?
- 24:57Speaker 1: Who's the solicitor? Rumblings it was David Miller, it's the
- 25:00Speaker 1: Second Circuit soliciers. Can you get his phone number an
- 25:03Speaker 1: email place? David Miller? What is going on there? And
- 25:08Speaker 1: I want to remind everybody and Chloe best you'll know
- 25:12Speaker 1: this better than I I do. Bowen Turner's parents didn't
- 25:17Speaker 1: His father work at the District Attorney's office on the edge.
- 25:22Speaker 1: He did still work there, Miss Nancy, I can speak
- 25:25Speaker 1: to that. Good tell me no, but he does not.
- 25:28Speaker 1: He is no longer employed by the First Judicial Circuit
- 25:31Speaker 1: Solicitor's office. He worked in that First Judicial Circuit Solicitor's
- 25:35Speaker 1: office as an investigator. So and after the incident that
- 25:38Speaker 1: it took place with cod Best, he did resign the
- 25:42Speaker 1: position as an investigator for that office. Second Judicial Circuit
- 25:46Speaker 1: Solicitor's office. David Miller is the deputy's solicitor. He is handling.
- 25:51Speaker 1: He was the one that was supposedly handling all these cases.
- 25:53Speaker 1: And if I can, if it's okay for me to
- 25:56Speaker 1: make this comment, his representations at Joe. But but now
- 26:01Speaker 1: there was no affiliation between Walt Turner and that office
- 26:06Speaker 1: as far as David Miller's connection that he was in
- 26:09Speaker 1: a whole different circuit. But no, matam, he is no
- 26:12Speaker 1: longer part of that. Katie Camon joining me from Live
- 26:15Speaker 1: five News on this from the very beginning, Katie Bowen.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Turner's lawyer, last name is it Hutto, Yes, Brad Hutto,
- 26:24Speaker 1: who is a South Carolina State Senator. Not just a
- 26:28Speaker 1: South Carolina State Senator. He is the ranking Democrat in
- 26:32Speaker 1: South Carolina Senate State Senate. Is that right? I believe
- 26:36Speaker 1: that is correct? High profile lawyer and as a matter
- 26:39Speaker 1: of fact, him having that position in South Carolina State
- 26:44Speaker 1: Senate gives him an opportunity to weigh in on who
- 26:49Speaker 1: and who is not named judge is and that true,
- 26:53Speaker 1: Sarah Ford, it is. It is absolutely true. Our legislature
- 26:58Speaker 1: is one of the only states that Virginia's the only
- 27:01Speaker 1: other one where a legislature elect judges. Karen Stark, I'm
- 27:05Speaker 1: telling you, I don't know what's going on in Orangeburg County,
- 27:09Speaker 1: South Carolina. You got a three time rapists, you know what,
- 27:13Speaker 1: Karen hold On. I want you to hear Chloe Bess,
- 27:16Speaker 1: Karen Stark, I want you to hear her, because me
- 27:21Speaker 1: ranting about this guy's DC disorderly conduct doesn't mean a
- 27:26Speaker 1: thing until you hear Chloe Bess and you hear mister
- 27:32Speaker 1: Staller's story. Chloe, what happened to you? I mean, unfortunately,
- 27:40Speaker 1: I was taken advantage of in the worst way possible.
- 27:44Speaker 1: I know that. I know that you were at a
- 27:49Speaker 1: party and you were with your brother and some friends,
- 27:54Speaker 1: and your brother and the friend left, I think, to
- 27:58Speaker 1: go get food, and in that entrm you decided you
- 28:02Speaker 1: wanted to leave. You step outside the house party to
- 28:07Speaker 1: call your brother to tell him come and get me.
- 28:10Speaker 1: I'm waiting outside, and that is when you are tackled
- 28:15Speaker 1: by Bowing Turner, dragged between a car and a tree
- 28:22Speaker 1: line where no one could see you, and you were raped.
- 28:26Speaker 1: That's the way I recall from what you told me.
- 28:30Speaker 1: And then I went home distraught. But first you went
- 28:36Speaker 1: inside and you told me that you looked in the
- 28:40Speaker 1: mirror and it didn't even seem like you. Yes, and
- 28:45Speaker 1: not at all. When you think back on that moment, Chloe,
- 28:49Speaker 1: what goes through your mind. It's a lot of emotions
- 28:54Speaker 1: when I think about that, because it was very It
- 28:58Speaker 1: was probably one of the weirdest things, because like I said,
- 29:01Speaker 1: it was like I wasn't even looking at myself, and
- 29:05Speaker 1: so I just didn't know how to feel. And so
- 29:10Speaker 1: when I look back on it, I can feel all
- 29:13Speaker 1: of the you know, the sadness, the how scared I was,
- 29:18Speaker 1: all of that in the moment. I couldn't really feel
- 29:21Speaker 1: that though, because I was supposed shocked. Time stories with
- 29:38Speaker 1: Nancy Grace Missus Staller. I know, I hate when people
- 29:46Speaker 1: just out of the blue asked me about my fiancee's murder.
- 29:50Speaker 1: If I bring it up, I don't feel as bad
- 29:52Speaker 1: about it. But when somebody else brings it up, it's
- 29:55Speaker 1: just like throwing cold water in my face. I could
- 29:57Speaker 1: be having a perfectly fine day, and then I have
- 30:00Speaker 1: to think about him getting shot five times in the
- 30:02Speaker 1: face and the head in the back. Would you please
- 30:08Speaker 1: tell the story about Dallas, because me going on and
- 30:14Speaker 1: on and on about Bow and Turner being drunken disorderly,
- 30:19Speaker 1: nobody cares. They have to know why it's so significant
- 30:24Speaker 1: he's walking free again. Yes, ma'am, I'll be happy to
- 30:29Speaker 1: speak about it. Yes, ma'am. My daughter Dallas Stallar went
- 30:33Speaker 1: to a party in the Bamber Kenny, which is the
- 30:36Speaker 1: next kenny over the south of Orangeburg County, Canada, party
- 30:41Speaker 1: that night and she was at the party and at
- 30:46Speaker 1: some point during the night she went outside and went
- 30:50Speaker 1: to From what I remember and what I was told
- 30:54Speaker 1: is she went outside to attempt to use the bathroom
- 30:57Speaker 1: in a wooded area, and she was and I would
- 31:01Speaker 1: say this this way, later identified her attacker, her rapist,
- 31:05Speaker 1: as the one Turner and she was followed into the
- 31:09Speaker 1: woodline with by this gentleman and he this young man.
- 31:13Speaker 1: I'm sorry, so the gentleman he followed by this young
- 31:15Speaker 1: man and uh and was raped in the woods by him,
- 31:21Speaker 1: and of course brought eventually got home to our house
- 31:25Speaker 1: where we found out she had been assaulted and she
- 31:28Speaker 1: had meant numerous wounds on her body, bruises and u S,
- 31:34Speaker 1: triangulation marks on her neck, UM, just a plethora of
- 31:38Speaker 1: different injuries pretty much over our whole body. She was
- 31:41Speaker 1: transported to our local hospital, regional medical center, and she
- 31:46Speaker 1: was at what point we were told she by her
- 31:50Speaker 1: and what she told medical personnel that she had been
- 31:53Speaker 1: raped by UM what turned out to be this subject,
- 31:56Speaker 1: mister Boe Turner at that party and became a that
- 32:03Speaker 1: started a chain of events that UM were obviously, as
- 32:08Speaker 1: most people know now was life changing for her and
- 32:13Speaker 1: us as a family. And ultimately three and a half
- 32:17Speaker 1: years later, UM ended up in her deciding to it
- 32:22Speaker 1: was morning she can handle and took her life because
- 32:28Speaker 1: she was bullied and she was made out to be
- 32:30Speaker 1: a liar, and so many of these so called important
- 32:34Speaker 1: people that made that made that so and there children
- 32:41Speaker 1: and that type of thing. So that's where we are today, ma'am.
- 32:46Speaker 1: That's why this bone's reoffending on another chart on what
- 32:52Speaker 1: we call the misdemeanor here in South Carolina, on this
- 32:55Speaker 1: public disorderly conduct is significant. But I will say this
- 33:00Speaker 1: not surprising to me because he doesn't have any regard
- 33:03Speaker 1: for the law, period and all the way and honestly,
- 33:06Speaker 1: all the law taught him that day and that hire
- 33:08Speaker 1: for Choye's case was that hey man, you you you
- 33:12Speaker 1: know the right people, You got the money, you can
- 33:13Speaker 1: get out of anything and um, and he basically did that.
- 33:18Speaker 1: And so why does he have any Why in the
- 33:20Speaker 1: world would he have any regard for the law? I mean,
- 33:22Speaker 1: I don't care about that, you know, underage drinking, that
- 33:25Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Um, that's a law. I want the law
- 33:28Speaker 1: and apply to me. Um raping girls? That's why does
- 33:31Speaker 1: that matter? The law and apply to me? And guess
- 33:33Speaker 1: what guess guess have taught us. Guessn't taught him that.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Our court system, our court system taught him that. And
- 33:39Speaker 1: uh and so there's much to blame for all this
- 33:43Speaker 1: as anybody. And uh, thankfully, thankfully we have one judge
- 33:48Speaker 1: that was willing to hear it out and say, listen,
- 33:52Speaker 1: you're you're you're not. I'm gonna get back out on
- 33:55Speaker 1: this what turned out to the probation violation point point
- 33:58Speaker 1: of it, because you are you've clearly shown that you
- 34:01Speaker 1: have no regard for conditions of bond needs nothing to you.
- 34:06Speaker 1: And hey, you've been on probation of them. But just
- 34:08Speaker 1: a month and you've already violated it. But I sat
- 34:11Speaker 1: in on that bond hearing and I heard him say,
- 34:13Speaker 1: he said, well, I don't understand I've made all my
- 34:16Speaker 1: court appearances. Well, big deal. You may tell the courterpences appearances.
- 34:20Speaker 1: But you did what the hell you wanted to do
- 34:22Speaker 1: in the eneral, you know, so that make any difference
- 34:26Speaker 1: to you. But again, like I said, that solicited David
- 34:29Speaker 1: Miller and Brad Huddle, all the combination of all that.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Judge Markley Denna say, everybody they taught him, they taught him. Well,
- 34:35Speaker 1: then they taught him to say, you can do anything
- 34:37Speaker 1: you want to do, and it's okay, it's okay. That's
- 34:40Speaker 1: the way I see it, mister Staller. The children, my
- 34:44Speaker 1: twins just went on a week trip on their class trip,
- 34:49Speaker 1: and I would go in their room. I could hardly
- 34:51Speaker 1: stand it. I just totally wanted to divorce my husband
- 34:56Speaker 1: because I thought, I, this is the way life is
- 34:58Speaker 1: going to be when they go to college. God willing,
- 35:00Speaker 1: I can't take it. Well, I didn't divorce him when
- 35:03Speaker 1: they came home. I don't know what's going to happen.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Four years from now. But when you go in Dallas's room,
- 35:09Speaker 1: how can you stand it? It's extremely difficult. It's extremely difficult,
- 35:14Speaker 1: a flood of emotion that comes over you, and how
- 35:17Speaker 1: you can think about it as your I don't look
- 35:20Speaker 1: at her as a twenty year old that died way
- 35:23Speaker 1: too soon. I still look at her as my little girl.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Karen's dark not just what Chloe is going through. And
- 35:32Speaker 1: you know how much guts it takes for her. People
- 35:36Speaker 1: keep asking her to tell her story over and over
- 35:38Speaker 1: and over. It's the worst story of her life. Carl Staller,
- 35:46Speaker 1: get him to tell Dallas a story over and over.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Sarah Ford, the legal director, is they're just fighting tooth
- 35:54Speaker 1: and claw. More than the grief, I think the feeling
- 35:59Speaker 1: of helplessness that nobody is doing anything, including Miller. By
- 36:07Speaker 1: the way, his number is eight zero three six four
- 36:10Speaker 1: two one five five seven repeat eight o three six
- 36:15Speaker 1: four two one five five seven. You don't like the
- 36:19Speaker 1: way the case is being handled, call him, let him know,
- 36:23Speaker 1: do something. Don't just talk about it or think about
- 36:27Speaker 1: it or simmer about it. Do something. I mean that
- 36:30Speaker 1: feeling of helplessness, Karen, And that's what I've heard from
- 36:34Speaker 1: rape victims ever since I started prosecuting crimes, that feeling
- 36:39Speaker 1: that there's nothing you can do, the thing you can do, Nancy,
- 36:43Speaker 1: good for you for giving out that phone number, and
- 36:47Speaker 1: absolutely a feeling of helplessness. Chloe, I am so so
- 36:51Speaker 1: sorry what you've felt, that feeling of you don't recognize
- 36:55Speaker 1: yourself as disassociation, meaning you had to somehow cope, and
- 37:01Speaker 1: the only way that you could cope with that situation
- 37:04Speaker 1: was to remove yourself from it unconsciously. And that is
- 37:09Speaker 1: normal response to a horrific, tragic situation. And good for you.
- 37:15Speaker 1: You're so brave, both of you. The dad, Chloe, because
- 37:20Speaker 1: this is a horrendous situation. This guy was clearly going
- 37:25Speaker 1: to go on and continue doing it. It's who he is.
- 37:29Speaker 1: He's above the law, and then the law comes along
- 37:32Speaker 1: and shows him that he's right. He could do whatever
- 37:35Speaker 1: he wants to do, and it's outrageous that that was allowed.
- 37:40Speaker 1: I hope you guys are able to talk to people
- 37:44Speaker 1: and get out and keep talking to the public and
- 37:47Speaker 1: let them know what this is like, and we have
- 37:51Speaker 1: to put a stop to it, somehow get people like
- 37:55Speaker 1: this not to get for However, I know that Chloe
- 38:00Speaker 1: case went forward and Bow and Turner got straight probation.
- 38:06Speaker 1: I know that Dallas's case was dropped because Dallas passed away.
- 38:14Speaker 1: I know that there is a juvenile victim case out there.
- 38:20Speaker 1: What has become of the juvenile case? Do you know?
- 38:23Speaker 1: Sarah Ford? Yes, Actually, when I got involved with these cases,
- 38:28Speaker 1: I asked the SORCER's office till we opened her case
- 38:32Speaker 1: as South CARONLA Law Enforcement Division, to reopen it. Sled did,
- 38:37Speaker 1: But we honestly have m ever gotten an answer. That's
- 38:41Speaker 1: actually a good thing. That's a good thing, Sarah Ford,
- 38:44Speaker 1: because that means there's still a rate case pending against
- 38:49Speaker 1: Bow and Turner if in fact they haven't resolved it
- 38:53Speaker 1: behind the victim's back. Well, it's my understanding that you know,
- 38:57Speaker 1: they did not want to have their conversations with them.
- 39:00Speaker 1: You know, there were two pending cases. This would have
- 39:02Speaker 1: been a third case that was opened closed. We asked
- 39:06Speaker 1: it to be reopened, and you know, I was told,
- 39:09Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to make it look like
- 39:10Speaker 1: we're going after this kid, which was obviously very problematic
- 39:15Speaker 1: just that mentality. So you know, I think that while
- 39:21Speaker 1: I would love to see Dallas's case reopened, I would
- 39:24Speaker 1: love to see this first case get the appropriate attention
- 39:27Speaker 1: that it deserves. I don't know that that's going to happen,
- 39:31Speaker 1: but I'm hopeful. I really am. So. There are two
- 39:35Speaker 1: cases Chloe's cases resolved. Two others exist and can be
- 39:42Speaker 1: reopened again. The number for the prosecutor eight zero three six, four, two, one,
- 39:50Speaker 1: five five seven. If he can't do his job, he
- 39:55Speaker 1: needs to be voted out. Real simple. We wait as
- 39:59Speaker 1: just unfalls. Nancy Grace Crime story signing up, Goodbye Friend,
