Police installed listening devices in the Turner family's house due to growing suspicions. Elliot Turner had strangled Emily, and the recordings helped catch him and his parents conspiring to hide the crime and destroy evidence. During the trial, Turner was subsequently found guilty of k***ing Emily, and his parents were found guilty of perverting the course of justice by trying to hide their involvement. True crime stories like these are a haunting reminder of the seriousness of violence against women in real-life.
