Julia Lynn Turner[1] (née Womack; July 13, 1968 – August 30, 2010[2]) was an American woman who was convicted in the poisoning deaths of her two husbands.
Turner's first husband, Glenn Turner, died after allegedly being sick with the flu in 1995. In 2001, the death of Randy Thompson, described as her common-law husband, under arguably similar circumstances aroused the suspicion of law enforcement. After investigation it was determined by authorities that Turner had murdered both men with ethylene glycol–based antifreeze. Ultimately convicted for the murders, Turner committed suicide in prison on August 30, 2010.[3][4]
