Parents Fight To Find Truth Behind Daughter's Death

In July, 2000, Chanda was found dead with a gunshot wound to her upper chest at the home she shared with her boyfriend. He told police he woke up around midnight and found her slumped over on the back steps, bleeding.

When the investigator from the medical examiner's office arrived at the home, police told him the boyfriend said Chanda was suicidal. The investigator released the body to a funeral home and no autopsy was performed.

But Chanda's parents never believed she killed herself, so they made it their mission to find out who shot her.

"We buried Chanda in the best vault, in the best casket and everything to try to preserve her body as much, because our goal was we were going to get that autopsy some day," Donna Turner said.

Nine years later, after hiring a former police officer to investigate the case, the Turners lawyer took more than 300 pages of documents to the District Attorney, who then ordered an autopsy.

The official report by the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office:

Oklahoma's new Chief Medical Examiner Collie Trant performed the autopsy and Robert Bux, a forensic pathologist from Colorado observed. They determined the death was a homicide, but the autopsy report and death certificate were never written up to say homicide because Trant was fired. He is suing for wrongful dismissal.

Another pathologist in the Medical Examiners office was handed the file but has refused to change the death certificate.

In March 2010, the family received the certificate with the following inaccuracies:

The report is unsigned and lists a Medical Examiner who is no longer with the office:
