In June 1987, Turlock attorney William Cullens was last seen alive in his downtown office around lunchtime. The following afternoon, he was discovered brutally beaten to death inside that same space. Nearly four decades later, the murder remains unsolved.

In this episode of Turlock Unburied, we examine the timeline of Cullens’ final day and the unanswered questions that continue to surround the case.

The episode also explores a local legend tied to Turlock’s historic water tower — the story of a worker who fell during its construction and the lingering belief that his presence may still haunt the old fire station grounds.
