The mystery surrounding his disappearance only deepened when officials at Wise County Public Schools, which oversees Union High, revealed that an employee within the district had been placed on administrative leave.

Turner and his team were in the middle of an undefeated 12-0 season, headed for the regional play-offs before his disappearance in Virginia’s Appalachian Mountains

“Wise County Public Schools is aware that law enforcement has filed charges against a staff member who has been on administrative leave,” a spokesman said in a statement.
“The individual remains on leave and is not permitted on school property or to have contact with students. The division will continue to cooperate with law enforcement as this process moves forward. Because this is an active legal matter involving personnel, the division cannot comment further.”
Amid the search, police said they have been hunting for the fugitive coach using drones and K-9s. Authorities called on anyone with information on his whereabouts to come forward.
