U.S. Marshals Offer Reward for Information About Missing VA High School Coach Travis Turner
Breitbart ^ | December 01, 2025 | Warner Todd Huston

The U.S. Marshals Service has now issued a $5,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Virginia high school football coach Travis Turner, who is facing child pornography charges in Big Stone Gap, Virginia.

The Marshals Service is urging members of the public to report any information they might have to 911, the Virginia State Police, or the USMS tips line (1-877-WANTED2), according to the New York Post.

Late last month, police went looking for Turner, who is the head coach at Union High School, to interview him in an investigation that was not initially advertised. But just as police were on their way to his home on Nov. 20, they were told that Turner, armed with a firearm, had run off into the woods behind his house.

“The last known contact the family had with Travis occurred on or about Thursday, Nov. 20, after he left his residence to walk in the woods with a firearm,” the Turner family’s attorney, Adrian Collins, said in a statement, according to WJLA-TV.

“He is believed to have entered a heavily wooded and mountainous area. At which point, no warrants had been issued for his arrest,” the attorney added.

Depends. Any military background on this guy? Any evidence of a survivalist mentality? Most likely you are correct, just wanted to point out the possibilities.

He ran off into the woods behind the house.

Everything depends on whether he had planned and prepared for this run into the woods. Did he have a pack full of supplies ready or did he just run off with no food, etc.

Juicy. Did the person who told the cops he ran off tell others he ran off?

Those speculating he killed himself should also speculate that someone...ahem...helped him kill himself.

Just a thought.

Did not realize that is where all this happened.
I was in Big Stone Gap today to get my car inspected.
