A man on his deathbed confessed to killing a mother and daughter 24 years ago, leading to the recovery of their remains this week, officials announced Tuesday.
Susan Carter and her 10-year-old daughter, Natasha “Alex” Carter, vanished in August 2000, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Tony Rausa said at a news conference Tuesday.
Their bodies were recovered in suspect Larry Webb’s West Virginia backyard Monday, the day he died in custody.
Rick Lafferty, Alex Carter’s father, said Tuesday that it was a “sad day but also a happy day,” because he could finally “bring my baby home.” He said that because the “case went cold so many times,” he “almost lost hope several times.”
“I can tell anyone that’s in my position, just never give up. Never give up hope on finding your child,” Lafferty said.
Eighteen months ago, officials obtained a search warrant for Webb’s home in Beckley, West Virginia.
