Former AMW Correspondent John Turchin is in the news after he apparently was unceremoniously fired from his crime reporter job for WPLG in Florida. According to an anonymous source, Turchin was fired while he was on medical leave following an injury he sustained in December. Turchin badly hurt his ankle and had spent the past several months recovering. He was apparently told there was no space for him at the station and that his reporting skills are no longer needed. www.gossipextra.com/2016/05/21/america-most-wanted-former-star-reporter-john-turchin-fired-wplg-5979/It sounds like they really treated him poorly there, which is sad because I'm pretty sure this is where he worked BEFORE he joined AMW. I hope he's able to get back into the news world (it sounds like he's still recovering and needs a walker to get around). Pretty lousy, if you ask me.

Yeah I read that too and was going to make a post about it and got a little busy so I'm glad you remembered because I agree it is b.s.
I actually remember AMW's first-ever last episode back in 96 and Turchin doing the Adam Walsh case at the end. Even John Walsh in his book commented at how impressed he was at Turchin's reporting, he was even able to track down the Sears security guard that kicked Adam out of the video game section in Sears thinking he was with another kid. (The guard was understandably devastated).
Turchin is an amazing reporter and I'm sure he'll land on his feet somewhere, although they did him dirty at WPLG.
