Part 1 of 2
Join us as we urgently navigate the enigmatic case of Kay-Alana Turner, a woman from Texas whose mysterious disappearance raises unsettling questions about our understanding of mental health and family crisis. A missing person's case riddled with perplexing ties to medication administered, missteps in law enforcement protocol, and a desperate family fighting for truth.
We dissect the misconceptions of bipolar disorder and analyze the possible legal and medical factors that might have contributed to Kay Alana Turner's disappearance.

Help us bring Kay-Alana Turner back home.

Please visit our website for the photos of the area where Kay-Alana was last seen.
The family has a GoFundMe set up to help with saving for a private investigator and search efforts.  All the information and sources can be found on our website.

You are loved, and you deserve to be found. And don't you ever forget that.
