Stanko had remembered to throw his writings—including his book proposal regarding serial killers and the written version of his stand-up comedy act—into the back of Laura Ling’s Mustang, but left them behind after stealing Turner’s truck. (Courtesy Horry County Police)
Turner’s home was on a cul-de-sac within Coastal Village Mobile Home Park in Conway, South Carolina. (Courtesy Horry County Police)
Turner’s home was only a few feet away from neighbors, but no one heard the shots. (Courtesy Horry County Police)
Behind Turner’s home, only a few feet from his body, was a Starcraft pop-up camper. (Courtesy Horry County Police)
One of the first discoveries police made after entering the home was a hole in a wall separating a bedroom from a bath. There was no blood or body nearby, however. Police later theorized that this was a test shot, fired by the killer to gauge if he’d adequately muffled the sound of the gun.

One of Turner’s last sights was of this sink. He was shaving and apparently using the sink as an ashtray when he was shot. (Courtesy Horry County Police)
A six-pack of Yuengling Lager with two bottles missing was found on the counter next to Turner’s kitchen sink. (Courtesy Horry County Police)

Henry Lee Turner’s body was found face down on the floor of the bedroom, with his feet just inside the bathroom. He was wearing blue jeans and a purple shirt, and had been shot twice, once in the chest and once in the back. (Courtesy Horry County Police)
Blood later verified as Turner’s was found splattered on the side of the tub. (Courtesy Horry County Police)
Police got a better understanding of what happened after discovering this pillow with bullet holes in it. That explained why neighbors heard nothing. The pillow had been used as a silencer. (Courtesy Horry County Police)
