Sickening development. I hope the bad guy is caught and fed feet-first through into a wood chipper.

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
I am hoping for working cameras at his store!
Tough economy means B&Ms need to be extra cautious .. My friend's store has Bullet proof glass ,with small window to conduct small business with unknown customers.. with no entry into store unless known to dealer

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Very sad. The crook must of had a gun with a silencer,otherwise I would think someone would have heard the gunshot. Looks like a very busy area.
Horrible, disgusting story, but I'll bet you 10:1 that a suppressor was not used in this murder.

I am sickened from hearing news of his death. Have not gotten to see John for a couple of years, but he was good to deal with and always seemed to be smiling, laughing and joking around. A very sad, pointless loss.

I can tell from previous responses that he was well liked.
I feel for his family and friends.

This must be tough for you. Glad to see the authorities are on this case.

Update- Robbery Turns Deadly as Store Owner Killed
Scott County-On yesterday’s date at approximately 2:30 pm, officers from the Indiana State Police, Austin City Police Department and Scott County Sheriff’s Department went to 5221 Water Tower Road just north of the Austin City Limits. Officers went there to execute a search warrant and locate James Matthew Caudill and Ginger Cox. Both of these subjects were wanted out of Scott County for auto theft.
When officers arrived at the residence, James Matthew Caudill and his brother, Christopher M. Caudill were in a wooded area near the home and were taken into custody by troopers. Ginger Cox was located hiding inside of the residence and was also taken into custody by troopers.
After a search was completed on the residence and property, money, jewelry and other items were located allegedly associated with the Robbery/Murder of John Turner that occurred Saturday afternoon November 11th.
At this time investigators believe they have at least one person of interest in custody associated with the Robbery and Murder of John Turner.
No other information is available at this time. Information will be released as it becomes available.
A total of four people were arrested as a result of the investigation yesterday. Their names and charges are listed below.
1-Christopher M. Caudill, 31, Water Tower Road, Austin, IN. *Resisting Law Enforcement, Possession of Methamphetamine and Dealing in Methamphetamine.
2-James Matthew Caudill, 21, Water Tower Road, Austin, IN. *Auto Theft, Unauthorized Entry of Motor Vehicle.
3-Ginger Lee Cox, 23, Water Tower Road, Austin, IN. *Auto Theft, Unauthorized Entry of a Motor Vehicle.

Media Note-Photos of the arrested are attached to this release. Christopher Caudill is the bald male, James Matthew Caudill is the male with black hair, Ginger Cox is the younger blonde female and Patricia Caudill is the older female.
Austin-Saturday afternoon shortly after 3:30 pm, someone entered John’s Coin and Jewelry Shop located at 61 West Main Street in Austin and robbed, shot and killed the shop owner, John M Turner, 79, from Austin. John was located by a family member in the shop and 911 was called. The Austin City Police Department and the Scott County EMS responded to what they initially thought was a medical emergency.
When a doctor and the Scott County Coroner’s Office examined John M. Turner at the hospital, they noticed a wound on the victim’s head that was not consistent to the medical issue as first thought and more consistent with foul play. The investigation immediately turned into a death investigation with the Austin City Police Department requesting the assistance of the Indiana State Police. Indiana State Police Crime Scene Technicians and detectives processed the crime scene then immediately began following leads.
On 11-9-2015, an autopsy was performed on John M. Turner at the Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville, KY. The autopsy revealed the preliminary cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head of John M. Turner. The official cause of death will not be determined until all of the autopsy results are complete which usually takes up to six weeks.
