Overview
- Nist recounted on the Dear Shandy podcast that Turner once pointed to a shed by Indiana’s Pretty Lake and said he would hide her body there after killing and chopping her up, which she described as dark humor delivered without a laugh.
- She said she did not believe Turner would actually harm her but felt the remark revealed underlying animosity toward her.
- Turner’s memoir, Golden Years, released Nov. 4, describes doubts before the wedding and a lack of intimacy, and he writes he felt empty during his televised proposal to Nist.
- Turner also writes that Nist did not check in after he publicly disclosed his slow‑growing bone‑marrow cancer, reported as Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
- The former couple married on Jan. 4, 2024 and moved to divorce months later; Turner is now engaged to Lana Sutton, and his camp has not provided a substantive response to Nist’s specific anecdote.
