EXCLUSIVE – A Virginia man’s two sons are desperate for answers after their father disappears in April, and whether some heinous act was involved in their father’s unexpected disappearance That’s what I’m thinking.
Kenneth “Kenny” Turner, 79, lived a quiet life as an antique store owner in Fieldale, Virginia, when he disappeared on April 12.
“I think someone picked him up and took him somewhere, but I don’t know where,” Turner’s son, Michael Turner, told Fox News Digital. “Having my car and my wallet at home was like driving out and coming home because I left the porch light on.”
Michael added that his father’s front door wouldn’t close completely unless he pulled very hard, and the door was closed the morning he realized his father was gone.

“We actually had to close the door,” Michael said. “That means someone picked him up and did something with him, but we don’t know who did what.”
A week before his disappearance, Kenny had just been hospitalized for high blood pressure, so Michael and his brother Bryant checked on their father frequently to make sure he was taking his medication and getting better. Ta. Michael had visited his father at home on the Wednesday before he disappeared on Saturday, and Bryant had met him the Friday before that.
“I don’t know what to think,” Bryant told Fox News Digital about his father’s disappearance.
He noted that Kenny’s leg had swollen the night before he disappeared and thought he might not be able to leave the house. The night before his disappearance, Bryant told his father he should sit down, relax and watch TV. He was scheduled to return in the morning to help with a sidewalk sale that Kenny was planning to hold at his antique shop on Saturday morning.

“I locked the door and left,” Bryant said.
Michael and Bryant were scheduled to work together Saturday morning to help their father prepare for his sidewalk sale. Instead, the brothers spent several hours driving separately from the antique store to Kenny’s house and back, trying to visit him — maybe out to breakfast, maybe with another brother. They thought it might be–wrong until they both realized something was going on.

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office said it is still investigating Kenney’s disappearance, but has found no trace of her missing father and has not named any suspects in connection with her disappearance.
“I feel like he died somewhere.”
Michael said, “The fact that he’s been gone for so long and he hasn’t been able to contact me or my brother makes me feel like he died somewhere,” adding that it’s possible that someone killed his father. He added that he believes there is.
The only theory about who may have been targeting Michael’s father is that he would be described as a “shithole.”
“He’s been in trouble before. In my opinion, he’s a freeloader, a bastard. So, like I said, he went to my father and lent him something. If you ask him to do something and my dad says no, he’s the type to get mad and get angry.” Do something with him, but I don’t know. ”
