A highly admired Virginia high school football coach has landed himself in hot water after police revealed the twice named “Coach of the Year” had fled from his home in rural Virginia, amid a number of disturbing allegations brought against him.
Travis Turner, a 46-year-old married father of three, disappeared on Nov. 20, after he became aware that officers were headed to his Appalachia, Virginia home to discuss an unspecified investigation.
