Two police officers, the same poison, six years apart.
from True Crime Unmasked · host OBOMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT
Two police officers, the same poison, six years apart: The homicide of Glenn Turner and Randy Thompson An obituary triggered the investigation that should have happened in 1995. Two young men, in different cities, died of identical cardiac arrhythmia with a six-year gap. No one connected the cases until Glenn's mother read the name Lin Turner in the press and recognized the impossible pattern. How can a killer strike with years in between and both deaths be certified as natural? In this episode, we explore how ethylene glycol crystals in Randy's kidneys revealed that Glenn was also poisoned, how a 911 operator rejected for "emotional instability" managed to administer antifreeze undetected, and why initial autopsies certified homicides as natural causes. Forensic investigation and psychiatric diagnosis reveal a psychopathic profile without remorse; the final question remains open: Were there more victims? Victims: Glenn Turner and Randy Thompson Date: 1995 - 2001 Location: Georgia, United States Status: Sentenced to life in prison; died in custody 2010 - Lin Turner administered odorless and sweet-tasting ethylene glycol in tea and care during illness, leaving no direct evidence of documented purchase. - Glenn expressed a desire to divorce in January 1995; two weeks later, he fell ill and died with a diagnosis identical to Randy's six years later. - Lin's inquiry to an animal shelter about euthanasia substances occurred close to Glenn's death, with no sick pet to justify the question. - Randy's obituary published on January 23, 2001, was read by Katy Turner, Glenn's mother, who recognized the name and alerted investigators, reopening a case closed in 1995.
