S4E2 What Really Happened to Paula Turkovich?

Author: Locating the Lost March 13, 2023 Duration: 1:07:12

Paula Turkovich’s body was found on the rear of 200 Old Country Road in Mineola on March 31st, 2018 at 8:31pm the night before Easter.  What makes this case odd is Paula had dinner with her family and in within one hour she is found deceased.  PD claim it was a suicide but the timeline does not make sense.  The car Paula used that night was found at a train station an hour away from her house and a half hour from the parking garage she allegedly jumped from, however PD insist she took the train to the garage.  In Paula’s so called suicide letter which her mother believes she was forced to write but was so intelligent she rewrote a quote and underlined it. The quote was from a book called “Reconstructing Amelia” by, Kimberly McCreight, in the story the mom gets a call from her daughter’s school saying her daughter Amelia jumped from a building but in fact she never did jump someone murdered Amelia. They lured Amelia to the top of the building and she was pushed to her death. The medical examiner washed the clothes she was wearing and did not fingerprint. Tonight we speak to her mother Kathleen who is fighting for justice for her little girl Paula Turkovich.


There are names that linger in the air of a town long after the news vans have left, and stories that exist only in the fragmented memories of those left waiting. Locating the Lost sits with those stories. This isn't a procedural rundown of cold cases, but a deliberate effort to recenter the human beings at the heart of every disappearance. Each episode focuses on a single person who has vanished, weaving together the details of their life, the circumstances of their last known moments, and the enduring impact of their absence on family and community. You'll hear the subtle tensions in a detective's voice, the raw hope in a sibling's recollection, and the heavy silence that follows an unanswered question. The goal here isn't sensationalism, but preservation-giving auditory space to narratives that risk fading from public consciousness. By tuning into this podcast, you become a witness to these searches, understanding that every case file represents a world upended. It's a sobering, necessary listen for anyone who believes that forgetting is a second disappearance.
