Less than two months after he was released from prison early after 30 years for a 1995 murder, a Bloomington, Indiana native is now back in prison.
Dustin "Dusty" Turner was arrested by Virginia State Police and booked into Middle River Regional Jail in Verona, Virginia, on April 21 on a parole violation, according to online jail records.
We have reached out to Virginia State Police for more information on what led to his arrest.
Turner's advocate told me they cannot comment on his arrest at this time.
In early January, the Virginia Parole Board voted 3-2 to grant Turner early release from prison.
He was released on parole on Thursday, March 5.
As WTHR first reported in 2004, Turner was convicted of first-degree murder and abduction with intent to defile in September 1996 for the killing of 21-year-old Jennifer Evans a year prior.
Police found Evans' body nine days after she was reported missing in June 1995.
Investigators would later arrest Turner and fellow Navy SEAL candidate, Billy Joe Brown, for Evans' death, after the young men came forward to police.
Separate juries convicted both Turner and Brown in 1996. The men were handed 82- and 72-year prison sentences without the possibility of parole.
Turner has long admitted to only help hide Evans' body.
