A local guy. 203 00:11:45,076 --> 00:11:47,710 He liked to hunt, fish, 204 00:11:47,710 --> 00:11:49,510 do things outdoors. 205 00:11:49,510 --> 00:11:53,309 Police did seem to be particularly interested in 206 00:11:53,309 --> 00:11:55,410 following up with him as a suspect. 207 00:12:00,710 --> 00:12:03,710 Eight months after Kaye Turner has gone missing, 208 00:12:03,710 --> 00:12:06,410 Kaye's friends put up a $1,000 reward. 209 00:12:08,610 --> 00:12:10,309 And then, out of nowhere... 210 00:12:11,510 --> 00:12:14,977 John Ackroyd claims he's found these clothing in the woods. 211 00:12:16,543 --> 00:12:17,710 [William] As soon as I found out 212 00:12:17,710 --> 00:12:20,610 Ackroyd had found these articles, 213 00:12:20,610 --> 00:12:22,710 I had a-- I had a suspicion 214

00:12:35,209 --> 00:12:37,076 Well, he failed the polygraph. 218 00:12:44,010 --> 00:12:46,176 [birds chirping] 219 00:12:49,610 --> 00:12:51,810 [Butch] I was a detective sergeant. 220 00:12:51,810

"Yeah, for a fact, I do." 223 00:13:00,576 --> 00:13:02,476 I said, "I kinda grew up with him." 224 00:13:03,209 --> 00:13:04,910 And I knew his mother. 225 00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:07,510 We'd been in the same community all our lives. 226 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:09,810 And he said, "Well... 227 00:13:09,877 --> 00:13:12,010 "He's had something to do with that Kaye Turner thing." 228 00:13:12,010 --> 00:13:13,510 And I said, "How do you know that?" 229 00:13:13,576 --> 00:13:15,610 He said, "I polygraphed him and he's dirty." 230 00:13:20,143 --> 00:13:24,109 1958-'59 school year. 231 00:13:24,109 --> 00:13:25,977 That was at Pleasant Valley. 232 00:13:27,843 --> 00:13:30,610 I knew John Ackroyd because we went to school from-- 233 00:13:30,610 --> 00:13:32,777 from the first grade to the 12th grade. 234 00:13:33,510 --> 00:13:35,043 We were never close friends. 235 00:13:35,043 --> 00:13:36,209 He was... 236 00:13:36,810 --> 00:13:37,777 quiet. 237 00:13:38,209 --> 00:13:40,209 Kind of a loner type. 238 00:13:40,209 --> 00:13:41,910 Uh, I never really knew him 239 00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:45,877 to have much association with anybody. 240 00:13:46,910 --> 00:13:50,309 I remember an incident in-- in the sixth grade. 241 00:13:51,810 --> 00:13:54,010 There were a couple of little rabbits 242 00:13:54,010 --> 00:13:56,610 that lived right there, where we got off the bus. 243 00:13:56,610 --> 00:14:00,276 And one day, John set one of those rabbits on fire. 244 00:14:02,010 --> 00:14:04,610 Somebody said, "John, you set that rabbit on fire!" 245 00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:06,810 And the rabbit was-- scurried off. 246 00:14:06,810 --> 00:14:10,410 And he just kinda had a grin on his face, like... 247 00:14:10,476 --> 00:14:12,010 He was proud of what he'd done. 248 00:14:13,209 --> 00:14:15,910 I thought, you know, "Why?" 249 00:14:15,977 --> 00:14:19,510 I was raised that you don't hurt anything or kill anything 250 00:14:19,576 --> 00:14:21,209 unless you're gonna eat it, you know. 251 00:14:21,209 --> 00:14:24,143 You didn't go shooting deer just for the horns, 252 00:14:24,143 --> 00:14:25,610 you know, unless you needed the meat. 253 00:14:25,677 --> 00:14:27,877 You just-- You just didn't kill anything. 254 00:14:32,209 --> 00:14:34,309 After Kaye Turner came up missing, 255 00:14:34,309 --> 00:14:36,710 I reached out to the investigators. 256 00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:38,510 From the standpoint that 257 00:14:38,576 --> 00:14:41,010 I thought that it might be a little more difficult 258 00:14:41,010 --> 00:14:45,109 for John to avoid pertinent questions with me 259 00:14:45,176 --> 00:14:46,810 than a total stranger. 260 00:14:46,810 --> 00:14:48,910 Because I knew John's mom. 261 00:14:48,977 --> 00:14:53,510 We worked together, in law enforcement, in the late '70s. 262 00:14:53,510 --> 00:14:56,610 At that time, there was only one police officer in Sweet Home 263 00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:58,810 on the graveyard shift, and that was me. 264 00:14:58,810 --> 00:15:00,710 And she was the dispatcher. 265 00:15:00,710 --> 00:15:03,410 I'd quite often ask her about John. 266 00:15:03,410 --> 00:15:05,410 You know, as what we had to talk about. 267 00:15:05,410 --> 00:15:06,810 [radio chatter] 268 00:15:06,810 --> 00:15:10,376 Some of the police officers came to interview me. 269 00:15:11,309 --> 00:15:14,810 I was really disappointed on how they perceived me. 270 00:15:14,810 --> 00:15:18,209 They asked me questions that were totally inappropriate. 271 00:15:18,276 --> 00:15:22,810 I don't think they had ever had that type of investigation, before. 272 00:15:22,810 --> 00:15:25,610 And at that time, I ended the conversation, 273 00:15:25,677 --> 00:15:27,476 I said, "We have nothing to talk about." 274 00:15:29,743 --> 00:15:32,309 [Noelle] At the time of Turner's disappearance, 275 00:15:32,376 --> 00:15:34,910 law enforcement weren't necessarily in the habit 276 00:15:34,977 --> 00:15:37,209 of collaborating and sharing. 277 00:15:37,209 --> 00:15:41,010 And we're talking about a rural law enforcement agency. 278 00:15:41,010 --> 00:15:43,209 Me, in the Jefferson County Sheriff's office. 279 00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:46,610 And we're talking about, you know, a small community, 280 00:15:46,677 --> 00:15:48,910 and the Oregon State Police. 281 00:15:48,910 --> 00:15:52,309 And there's not email.
