Another body found in Turnbull Canyon.
Turnbull Canyon Road is seven miles of twisted road, here is Southern California. It is known for hiking or biking on the trails, but I would never venture down there on my own. I wouldn’t even go with a group of football players or wrestlers….no one is safe! One side of the road opens in the city of Hacienda Heights; the end of it spits you out in Whittier. . . right next to this mouth of Turnbull Canyon is an old witch’s house! This road is surrounded by knarley sage brush, old Oaks and mysterious bad omens. I’ve written about it in Internet blogs over the years – and last Friday, the evil karma that overclouds that road claimed another victim. (Friday, March 4th – under the full moon’s watching face.)
A young woman’s body was found dumped over the side of the road. The LA County Coroner says the body was that of an unidentified woman, and she had been there for about a week. A man who was hunting for snakes found her remains, and when the authorities went to question him further, he had already vanished into thin air.
Her body was not in one piece; her left arm was missing. I wonder if that means anything sinister.
She was fully clothed, but was barefoot. Between the years of 1995 and 2002, four murders took place in this section of broken asphalt; where the sky meets the road. All of the dead bodies were found scattered in various sites along Skyline Drive; (which is the highest point of the seven mile stretch of road.)
In an old 2002 interview, a fireman from LA County Fire Department – Station 91 (which is located at the base of this twisting, turning road), muttered, “Turnbull Canyon Road is a good place to execute people, dump bodies off, and for stolen cars.” He has never spoken on the topic ever again.
But there are those oblivious people who continue to work or live in this canyon who dismiss such talk. They say all of these stories are merely, “Tall tales told by those who are afraid of their own shadows.” They are content to turn a blind eye and ignore the newspapers, and the empty decaying mansions that were abandoned by haunted homeowners. They simply go about their business, as the canyon grows quieter and darker.
According to generations of urban lore, Turnbull Canyon Road has played a part in occult rituals, devil worship and some say that members of the KKK still hold meetings along the canyon off-roads. It’s not a place to go driving alone, and there’s a warning to all women – NEVER DRIVE TURNBULL CANYON ALONE!
There are many hiking trails that people take day hikes in and maybe that’s still a safe thing to do in the daytime hours. But come nightfall, ya’ll best stay clear of Turnbull Canyon Road! Don’t say I didn’t warn ya!!!
It’s a spooky place to be!!!

ok, well, I used to live in that big “KKK” house on the hill, and I can assure you, it wasn’t KKK. That was a Swiss flag (white, red cross) because of my father’s nationality. The only odd thing about living there was all the noise and vandalism by the teenage kids who were so superstitious and easily scared. what was truly scary was the molotov cocktails that got thrown onto our property and the ones who started fires. So there you go.

That canyon’s in the news again. A little disturbing that I come here every time it’s in the news.

Gloria was taken to Turnbull Cnyn by three men so they could kill her and dump her body there. They knew it was very isolated and dark. They would be able to carry out the murder without interference. Check. The body would remain undetected for as long as possible. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Her foot got stuck in the seatbelt and her body was dragged 4 mi and dumped on Hacienda Blvd. The three men who murdered her were not devil worshsippers. They have been convicted of murder one.

I just wonder, and im not trying to be rude here, but what was she doing at those hours up there? Sadnomore said she was up there preaching, about what? and to who, and why by yourself, take your brother? She wasnt sacrificed, but shot in the head. Then dragged from where she was murdered. Just doesnt add up. Preaching at that time in the morning seems very odd.

Wow,
so.. my friend told me that there is a white house on turnbull canyon …four stores. Supposedly, KKK’s lived there, and she saw the flag. i really didn’t believe anything she was saying. She also told me that she went with her old sister and some friends driving in a car and there was this old man with a backpack crossing the street, and they followed him and he dissapeared. She wanted to prove it to me, so we decided to go today..which is halloween.. lol.. it was around 8:30, we were going up the hill and we finally got to the “kkk” house, i got the chills. we saw them turn the lights on, so we immediatly tried to get out of there.. it was so hard since those streets are so tiny and curvy. and we saw other scary things.. like..an abondoned house with no furniture inside. its pretty scary.. im never going there again. especially in the dark.

Hello everyone. I’m quite curious about the stories, but I’d like to know the facts opposed to the rumors. What Elle said truly appealed to me, and obviously RiverBoatQueen was speaking fictionally. My friends and I talked about the girl getting dragged down Turnbull earlier this evening, and I did some research to find out the truth. The truth, however, seems to be scattered in numerous directions along with sections of fallacies. Can an eye witness of the account tell us what really happened?
