Natasha Alex Alexandra Augusta Carter, known as Alex, was a 10-year-old White girl who disappeared with her mother, Susan Gail Carter, from Beckley, West Virginia, on August 8, 2000. Early on the case was treated as a parental abduction because Susan and Alex were last seen staying at a home on the 100 block of Kyle Lane belonging to Larry Dell Webb; a felony kidnapping warrant was issued for Susan in November 2000. Investigators later shifted direction as signs of foul play emerged.

Renewed investigative work focused on the Kyle Lane property. Searches of the house uncovered evidence of concealed bullet strikes and a bullet recovered behind a baseboard in a bedroom used by Alex tested at the FBI laboratory with blood associated with Alex. Additional blood was reportedly found behind a baseboard heater and beneath the concealed damage. A Raleigh County special grand jury later indicted Larry Webb for first-degree murder in Alex’s death, and investigators recovered remains consistent with what Webb described having done.

If anyone knew Alex or Susan, or has information about their time in Beckley in 2000, please share what you know with investigators.
