Jennifer Jean Wittwer Turner, 54, was discovered Sept. 12, around 10 p.m. Her body was located in an outbuilding on the 35-acre estate she owned with her estranged husband, Kirk Alan Turner, 50, a dentist in Clemmons.
According to an incident report from the Davie County Sheriff’s Office, Mrs. Turner had a cut to the neck causing death and Dr. Turner had a cut to the left leg.

Beginning Nov. 1, 2006 Dr. Turner was ordered to pay Mrs. Turner $21,000 a month in post separation support and continue to pay the monthly mortgage of $3,295.95 and provide her medical insurance.
