Natasha Alexander Carter, a 10-year-old girl from Beckley, West Virginia, went missing on August 8, 2000, along with her mother, Susan Carter. The case remained unsolved for over two decades, with authorities initially suspecting Susan Carter of kidnapping her own daughter. However, new evidence emerged in recent years, leading to a breakthrough in the investigation.
In October 2023, Larry Webb, Susan Carter's husband, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge in connection with the disappearances. Webb confessed to shooting both Natasha and Susan during an argument over missing money. He then buried their bodies in a shallow grave in the backyard of their home. Webb's confession came just before his death from a medical episode while in custody.
On the day of Webb's death, authorities recovered the bodies of Natasha and Susan Carter from the backyard of their former residence. The case was finally closed, bringing some closure to the family and the community after 24 years.
The investigation involved multiple agencies, including the Beckley Police Department, U.S. Marshals, and the FBI. The case highlighted the importance of perseverance in solving cold cases and the impact of new evidence and confessions in bringing justice to victims and their families.Last Seen: Aug 8, 2000
