弗吉尼亚高中足球教练11月20日失踪的人后来被发现因涉及儿童性虐待材料的指控而被通缉，教练的家人说，最后一次看到他带着枪走进树林。
一份声明代表特拉维斯·特纳家人的律师事务所周五公布的消息称:“特拉维斯最后一次与家人联系是在11月20日周四左右，当时他带着枪离开住所，在树林中行走。据信他进入了一个树木茂密的山区。”
当时，艾德里安·柯林斯律师的声明说，特纳的逮捕令还没有发出。
律师的声明称，特纳当晚没有回家，他的妻子通知了执法部门。
“她被告知至少24小时后才能进行失踪人口报告，”律师的声明说。第二天，她向弗吉尼亚州警方提交了一份失踪人口报告。他的家人与执法部门通力合作，寻找特拉维斯的下落。”
警方说，作为调查的一部分，州警察局刑事调查局威特维尔办事处的特工11月20日在前往特纳家的路上，他们被告知特纳已经不在那里了。
当局说，州警方后来总共获得了10张对46岁的特纳的逮捕令，其中包括五项拥有儿童色情制品的指控和五项使用电脑引诱未成年人的指控。
根据学校网站的说法，特纳是怀斯县公立学区联合高中的体育老师和首席足球教练。在他失踪期间，该足球队以12胜0负的成绩晋级弗吉尼亚地区决赛，并保持不败。
弗吉尼亚州警方本周早些时候表示，他们正在积极搜寻特纳。
“自从他失踪以来，VSP利用了许多资产，包括搜救队、无人机和K9，来协助搜索，”州警方在一份声明中说。“VSP的首要任务是安全地找到特纳;他现在被认为是逃犯。”
特纳家庭律师的声明称，家庭成员和朋友也一直在树林中搜寻。
“这些努力受到了天气条件的限制，并尊重正在进行的官方行动，”声明说。"这家人祈祷特拉维斯平安无事，并有机会在法庭上为自己辩护。"
Missing Virginia football coach wanted on child sexual abuse material charges walked into woods with gun, family says
The Virginia high school football coachwho went missing Nov. 20and was later revealed to be wanted on charges involving child sexual abuse material, was last seen walking into the woods with a gun, the coach's family says.
A statementfrom a law firm representing the family of Travis Turner, released Friday, said: "The last known contact the family had with Travis occurred on or about Thursday, November 20, after he left his residence to walk in the woods with a firearm. He is believed to have entered a heavily wooded and mountainous area."
At that time, the statement from attorney Adrian Collins said, no warrants had been issued for Turner's arrest.
When Turner did not return home that evening, his wife notified law enforcement, the attorney's statement said.
"She was advised that a missing-person report could not be taken until at least 24 hours had passed," the attorney's statement said. "The following day, she filed a missing-person report with the Virginia State Police. The family has cooperated fully with law-enforcement in their ongoing efforts to locate Travis."
Agents with the state police's Bureau of Criminal Investigation Wytheville Field Office were en route to Turner's home on Nov. 20 as part of an investigation, when they were informed he was no longer there, police said.
State police later obtained a total of 10 warrants for Turner, 46 ,of Appalachia, Virginia, including five counts of possession of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor, authorities said.
Turner is a physical education teacher and head football coach at Union High School, in the Wise County public school district, according to the school's website. Amid his disappearance, the football team advanced to the Virginia regional final, during a 12-0 season and remains undefeated.
Virginia State Police said earlier this week they were actively searching for Turner.
"Since his disappearance, VSP has utilized a number of assets, including search and rescue teams, drones and k9s, to assist in the search," state police said in a statement. "VSP's main priority is locating Turner safely; he is now considered a fugitive."
The statement from the Turner family's attorney said family members and friends have also been searching in the woods.
"These efforts have been limited by weather conditions and with respect for the official operations underway," the statement said. "It is the family’s prayer that Travis is safe and will have the opportunity to defend himself in a court of law."
