FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wentzville Police Department Detectives Seek Assistance in 1977 Cold Case Investigation
WENTZVILLE, MO (July. 1, 2026) – The Wentzville Police Department is asking for the community's assistance in a decades-old homicide investigation that remains an active case.
Although nearly five decades have passed since the death of 19-year-old Kenny Turner, detectives have never stopped investigating the case. Over the years, investigators have continued to review evidence, follow up on new information and pursue leads as they developed. Most recently, advances in DNA technology have allowed detectives to re-examine evidence collected during the original investigation in hopes of identifying new leads.
In the early morning hours of Saturday, September 10. 1977 Kenny Turner was working at the Kerr-McGee gas service station located in the 700 block of Pearce Boulevard in Wentzville when he was killed during what investigators believe was a robbery.
The investigation determined that Turner had been assaulted, suffering both blunt force injuries and stab wounds. Investigators also determined the station's cash register, containing approximately $200, had been taken from the business.
While significant time has passed, detectives remain committed to seeking justice for Kenny Turner and his family. Even the smallest detail—something that may not have seemed important years ago—could provide the missing piece needed to move this investigation forward.
The Wentzville Police Department encourages anyone who may have information about this case, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward. Memories change, relationships change and advances in forensic technology continue to provide new investigative opportunities.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Lieutenant Bruns at (636) 639-2123.

Hopefully they can find out who did this horrific thing and bring peace and closure to Kenny's family. He was a good guy he did not deserve this!
Wolf Pack DNA can help!!!
Oh just give us true crime girlies a few hours and we’ll have this solved 🫶🏼 Thank you for opening this cold case again!
Thank you for still following up on this case for his family!
I just wanted to say thank you for not giving up on these old cases!
😪🙏
It would be a real gift to give his family some answers and closure. Hope this post jars someone’s memory and they reach out.
So sad, RIP, Kenny 🙏
Sherry Black Foundation can help!!
Any DNA evidence to work with?
Shared 🙏 Our many prayers for the family.
Pod cast coming soon...
I wonder if the police have any DNA? That's what solved the Golden State Killer murders. The most famous California murder case solved years later by DNA is the Golden State Killer (Joseph James DeAngelo).Using genetic genealogy, investigators uploaded crime scene DNA to public databases, built family trees, and ultimately arrested him in 2018—decades after his reign of terror spanning 1976 to 1986.
