An ex-Playboy model was involved in the death of her sugar daddy psychiatrist and convicted for it. The motive why she killed her lover was revealed as the case unfolded.

Ex-Playboy Model Admits to Crime

Kelsey Turner, a former model who appeared in Playboy Italia and Maxim, was given 10 to 25 years in jail for her part in the murder of a psychiatrist from California. Based on the report, the car she was driving had a dead body in the trunk. One of the reasons for the crime is her provider stopped paying her rent. Turner was convicted of second-degree murder.

Last Tuesday, she was in court for the heinous crime she committed, and an accomplice identified as her boyfriend, Jon Logan Kenison, got a sentence of 18 to 45 years in jail.

In 2019, the pair were arrested when the police caught them with the body of the slain Dr. Thomas Burchard in the trunk of an abandoned car owned by Turner. The vehicle was located on State Route 147 close to Lake Mead outside Las Vegas.

Sources disclose that the 71-year-old child psychiatrist had a relationship with the ex-Playboy bunny, who was 25 then, as they continued the relationship, he gave an allowance worth $300,000 to pay for his girlfriend's expensive lifestyle.

When the police found the body of the psychiatrist, the woman chose to enter an Alford plea which is admitting guilt but still guilty, and got a second-degree instead. A few details came out: Burchard stopped giving Turner money and went to Las Vegas from California to end the two-year intimate and transactional relationship.

Psychiatrist Sugar Daddy Ends Up Dead

Prosecutors with the court documents show that Turner, who turned 29, told her boyfriend to attack Burchard. Reportedly the man beat the psychiatrist to death with a baseball bat, and after that, the guilty pair put the body in the trunk of her Mercedes Benz car, noted an outlet.

More came out as the victim supported the ex-Playboy model via money he gave to support her kids with a $3,200 rent based on other reports.

While sentencing the woman, Chief Deputy District Attorney Pamela Weckerly remarked how much speculation about the relationship between the model and the psychiatrist. She added that the facts of the case show that it was more of a monetary relationship.

Details About the Turner Case

Judy Earp, another girlfriend of Burchard's for 17 years, revealed that her partner had given money for a few years. She called Turner comparable to the evil Charles Manson.

After the victim died in 2019 and confirmed that she had spoken before he died. He had to go to Las Vegas as the ex-model was a compulsive liar.

Despite Kenison's claims that Turner was not guilty of any crime, the killer is Diana Pena, an ex-housemate of the ex-model. But the man admitted to the charge and gave a guilty plea in July last year. But Turner and Pena, 35, had admitted as an accessory as she helped clean the crime scene and left Vegas with the two.

Turner and Kennison's roommate, Diana Nicole Pena, 34, pleaded guilty to being an accessory to murder after testifying that she helped clean the crime scene before fleeing Las Vegas with the couple. Conviction of an ex-Playboy model for the beating death of a psychiatrist sugar daddy in the trials held.
