Sarah Turney

Sarah Turney is 31 years old sister of Alissa Turney who disappeared without a trace in 2001. Sarah is an Advocate, Creator, and host of the true-crime podcast Voices for Justice.

She used the TikTok platform to get justice for her sister Alissa, on August 19th Maricopa County Attorney’s office charged Sarah’s father Michael Turney with 2nd-degree murder in the death of Alissa Turney.

According to the official charge statement, Michael is charged with one count of 2nd Degree Murder, a Class 1 Felony, for the death of Alissa Turney. Sarah fought all this year to get justice for her sister Alissa and it worked after she started looking for answers on TikTok.

Earlier, Sarah started a Facebook page and Instagram account, even interview with local and national media outlets, including Dateline but TikTok worked for her to gain media exposure.

In 2001, her sister Alissa went missing and Sarah was sure that her father killed her sister, but she didn’t have much proof back then, from the evidence it shows that Michael abused Alissa physically and mentally and there were around 20 statements given to the police stating that Alissa was being physically and sexually abused by Michael.

One year before Alissa went missing Michael called Child Protective Services and stated that her stepdaughter Alissa was going to call them and falsely accuse him of sexually abusing her so he would buy her a car, but he was lying Alissa already had a car. In the blog “Justice for Alissa,” Sarah revealed that her father did not display this behavior with any of his other 5 children.

Our father is and always has been the only “person of interest” in this case. When I was 19 the police found that my father was hiding 26 pipe bombs and a manifesto for a mass murder plot. That day, the detectives on Alissa’s case sat me down and told me that my father was a pedophile and a murderer. It took me a while to believe he was guilty… but then I came around.”
