Carl is survived by his wife, Rose, and their two daughters, Autumn Rose and Willow Anne. The impact of his death has been felt deeply by his family and the wider community. As of now, his case remains open, with authorities continuing to seek any leads that could provide answers and bring justice to Carl's family. Despite ongoing efforts, no one has been held accountable for this crime, and the investigation is still pending, leaving his loved ones without closure.
