Authorities looking for a high school football coach who vanished last week and was considered missing have now announced that he is a wanted man.
Travis Turner, 46, of Appalachia, Virginia, faces charges of possessing child sexual abuse material and using a computer to solicit a minor, police in Virginia said on Tuesday.
Virginia State Police (VSP) went to Mr Turner's home last Thursday as part of an investigation - not to arrest him - but were told he wasn't there. Since then, they have used drones, search and rescue teams to find him.
"VSP's main priority is locating Turner safely; he is now considered a fugitive," said a spokesperson for the police department, which now has 10 warrants for his arrest.
Additional charges against the football coach are pending, police said.
