Doris "Pat" Carter, aged 61, was last seen on December 16, 2011, at her home in Plant City, Florida, where she lived with her daughter. She and her partner, Kelly Moriarty, disappeared together along with Moriarty's vehicle. Moriarty’s car was found abandoned a few days later on State Road 62 in Parrish, but there was no trace of either woman.
On December 27, 2011, a severed leg washed ashore in St. Petersburg, later identified as Moriarty’s through DNA analysis.
Despite this, no further remains of Moriarty were recovered, and Doris Carter’s whereabouts remain unknown. Both women had been romantically involved for about two years, and their relationship was described as volatile, with frequent arguments. Investigators later revealed that Carter had been attempting to evict her daughter and son-in-law from her home at the time of her disappearance, further complicating the case.
Authorities suspect foul play but have not made significant progress in solving the case. Carter has not used her financial accounts or phone since her disappearance, and no crime scene has been identified. Despite extensive investigations spanning multiple counties, Doris Carter's fate remains a mystery, and her case remains unsolved.Last Seen: Dec 16, 2011
