Slocovich said he did not stop, according to the police report. When Turberville was found, he was bleeding heavily from his head and had cuts on his arm. A Sacred Heart physician told police he had been shot in the side of the head and that the bullet had become lodged in the right side of Turberville's head.

The entrance wound was surrounded by gun powder, which indicates the victim was shot at close range.

if Employees against re-electing sheriff, morale survey finds By Ginny Graybiel News Journal Escambia County Sheriffs Department employees oppose Sheriff Charlie John- son's re-election bid, according to a controversial morale survey released Wednesday. Pensacola Junior College sociology professor Michael Morris, who conducted the survey, reported that only 30 of 206 employees who responded favor the first-term Republican for sheriff. SOME RESPONDENTS complained that department morale is at an all-time low because Johnson lacks the experience and training to manage the department, is egotistical and power-hungry, practices cronyism and takes retribution on opponents. Others, however, praised Johnson as an honest, Christian sheriff who cares about the department and its employees and is doing an excellent job. Morris is a longtime law-enforcement critic who ran for sheriff in 1988.

He mailed the survey to 431 employees, including officers through the rank of lieutenant and civilians. He received responses from 48 percent. JOHNSON, THROUGH his spokesman, disputed the validity of the survey that comes only a month before hotly contested primary elections among five candidates for sheriff. "This is the first study done in years, and it's on the eve of the election," spokesman Mark O'Brien said. Johnson believes the 52 percent of employees who didn't respond probably "feel good about the situation" at the department, O'Brien said.

Fillingim has checked leads McNamara and Kittle have given him. On Monday, McNamara gave him the license number of a truck in which Missy reportedly had been seen.

Fillingim found the truck and the girl, but it was not Missy, McNamara said. The investigator was following up several tips he received Wednesday after Missy's picture appeared in the News Journal, said sheriffs spokesman Mark O'Brien. McNamara is critical of the department's investigation from the outset. Deputies believed Missy had run away, and investigators continue to bring Missy's boyfriend to the department for questioning, she said. McNamara, a friend of Kit tie's for years, said she knows Brian Kittle would not have hurt her daughter.

He was ait home after Missy walked down Patricia Drive about 9:30 p.m. June 25, she said. It was the last time Missy was seen. "That's the furthest thing from my mind," she said. "They were so much in love.

The store is near McNamara's home. Ellen Kittle, the mother of Missy's boyfriend, saw deputies and the case investigator at the store. By the time she drove to McNamara's home and the two women returned, the deputies were gone, McNamara said. "They haven't kept in touch at all," she said. "They haven't really done anything.

This is the first time they've had a search party, and it's taken 5Vi weeks."
