Leslie Caudill Turner, the wife of missing high school football coach Travis Turner, addressed rumors that she aided in her husband’s disappearance.

“Criminal charges were not obtained against Travis until days after he failed to return home,” the family’s attorney said in a statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday, December 3. “He was not a fugitive nor wanted by law enforcement at the time he went missing. His wife was not helping him escape, she was asking for help to find him.”

Travis, 46, went missing on November 20, last seen by members of his family walking into the woods near their home while carrying a gun.

Days later, he was charged with five counts of child pornography and five counts of using a computer to solicit a minor.
