Her sister Rokeisha Calton reportedly claimed to Fox 26 Houston that Turner’s home was one of the places where Horn’s phone last pinged before she vanished. “I want them to pay for what they did,” she told the outlet on Friday.

Skinesha Granville, another one of Horn’s sisters, toldABC 13that the relationship was “very toxic” and claimed the couple frequently fought when they lived with her at one point.

During their relationship, Calton claimed that she often noticed bruises on her sister, who would not share details when asked about the injuries, she told FOX 26 Houston.

“We are just trying to make sense of it all,” Calton toldClick2Houston.

A judge set a bond for $100,000 for Turner, according to KHOU-11. It is unclear if she’s retained an attorney to speak on her behalf or entered a plea.
