DNA testing confirmed that the body belonged to the missing 19-year-old, the Kansas City Star reported.
Then on April 23 - three months after Turner's body was found - Holland was arrested and booking in jail on a second-degree murder charge.

Holland confessed the grisly killing, admitting that he killed Turner at his home and dismembered her body before dumping her remains in the river, police said.

The heartbroken sister wished her twin a happy birthday on April 12. She would have turned 20. 'Until we meet again love you forever and always,' Sherry wrote.
When Holland's arrest was announced - Sherry said that justice had been served.
In Turner's obituary, family described her as 'a shining light to all who knew her, with a kind and loving personality that radiated through her beautiful smile and touched the hearts of those around her.'
