Dr. Karla Turner (1947–1996) was an academic researcher and author recognized for her unflinching investigation into the traumatic aspects of the alien abduction phenomenon, challenging the benevolent narrative often associated with non-human contact. On Art Bell's programs, her books Into the Fringe and Taken presented disturbing patterns in abductee accounts, and her untimely death from cancer fueled widespread speculation and cemented her legacy as a fearless voice in abduction research.
