GUILTY AR - Beverly Carter, 49, Little Rock, 25 Sep 2014 - # 5

[arkansasmimi]

He posted on FB Sat July 19th that he "got a new job this week" at Argos cement and would begin working Monday(7/21). That might be where the July comes from. Hard to find his date of firing. And I guess it's possible the Arkansas online article was just to sell papers... but it's online for free reading, so not sure how that story might translate to any significant bottom line income to the publisher, but I'm not familiar with the paper and maybe they do have significant hard copy sales.

This articles references the hiring date at Argos but think it's only based on what AL himself posted?

Arkansas online, is the Arkansas Dem Gazette - which is a state paper. I have a subscription to that paper so I can view online. The Arkansas Leader (the story I posted link to which said that AL came by the prev month for an application) that is a BlogSpot page iirc, but they are a biweekly print newspaper for the local area. IIRC it was supposed to have been on the front page when was in print. So I stand by my statement, I do think it was to sell papers, after all that's what they are ultimately in business to do. Hope I don't sound harsh, not meaning to.

What really surprises me is them /whoever not taking her purse. MHO that $100 she won at that open house was probably there. Unless they were in a hurry to get her out of that house they didnt take the time.

True.....there's rarely a robbery where a purse isn't at least rifled through.
Strange indeed.

Ok got it on the newspaper. Sorry! was not familiar with the publication as I said, thanks for explaining. I see how it could bring them in money now, especially if it generated significant extra site hits, hadnt thought about that. Meant no harm, didn't know it was a subscription as well. Makes some sense since just about every hard copy newspaper is faring pretty dismally in subscription revenue these days... Does seem poor taste to invent a whole story like that to make sales though, given there was a local murder victim attached to it. Tabloid style journalism. Thanks for clarification.

It seems within the realm of possibility that she may have left her purse in her car and he never even saw it. I don't think robbery was the motive.

Right, I agree.....I don't think robbery was the motive either.

She's around, she posted something at 6...

there has been nothing to post.

I do think some sort of scam would be the motive for AL to kidnap a realtor, any realtor, not just the victim here. I think she was not selected but rather something he said in her perp walk "she was a rich broker, a woman who worked alone". I bet he made an appointment to see foreclosed houses and she was the unlucky victim. It was a scam, as has been AL's entire life, for money. He is a thief. His long checkered past proves this fact. He scammed for money or some other material item that he could sell for money. He got off on it. Nothing in his past shows violent behavior. While he was creepy, he did not seem violent. Something had to have gone wrong. Maybe there is a little bit of truth to everything he is saying in his interviews. He said "anything that happened was an accident". Maybe he accidentally killed Beverly Carter? That does not excuse his behavior but for some reason my theory can never get me to where he plots and plans a kidnapping and murder.

IMO kidnapping was the scam. It was a scam of opportunity to get money from her. What he thought he would get we may never know? I'm guessing the murder was never planned. Does not excuse the fact of what happened. Beverly and her family do deserve justice.

I have nothing new to post on CL at this time. I still believe she had nothing to do with the murder and kidnapping of Beverly Carter.

Just reading about the Ulibarri case. The ex fiance' which is in prison now was a 6 time offender. Thinking her death may be related to his crimes. Just bringing this up wanting to understand why in the world these women get involved with these multiple times offenders? These are nice looking women that can do so much better than that. They end up going down the rabbit hole with them or become dead.

 

[Knox]

I can't bend my mind around kidnapping/ransom as a motive. Did he disguise himself at the house? How would he have pulled off receiving the money, and never being identified? How could anyone possibly think they could pull something like that off? Are there any other kidnap/ransom cases in the US within the last ten years, I 'll have to Google that.

I can see something like blackmail though. That sounds more like his mentality, and fits with some of the statements he made?

 

[concernedmother]

I really cant phantom a motive either. I dont think robbery for sure. Common sense says there wouldnt have been much with her to commit such a crime of kidnapping even if murder was an accident. (I dont think that was supposed to be part of it either.)
Ladies, please steer clear of repeat offenders. There is a reason they are repeat.

I have pondered if maybe he was going to make her go to the ATM and withdraw money but then something went wrong and the "accident" occurred. With her purse being left behind maybe he had to get out of there fast? Maybe after the "accident" he was unable to find the key to her car to get her purse?

I still go back to the silver/gray truck that was seen at the scene. I believe the car that was at the scene was AL's. The Ford Fusion he had could be considered dark silver in color by some but it was on the darker side. His other car was black. The truck still has me confused. It seems there were two people at the scene. Who is the other person? We know CL was not at the scene because she was at clinicals (which I understand some of you do not believe but I've done enough snooping on this one to believe she was at the VA from 4:30-10:30 that evening on a 6 hour clinical. I know some have speculated she could have arrived late or left early. From what I have learned there would be no way to do this as she would have been missing in her group.)

I 100% believe AL did this while CL was gone. He knew she would be gone for 6 hours that evening. It was his window of opportunity. Most likely the reason he made the appointment time for shortly after he knew CL would be in clinicals.

Her alibi should be easy to verify at the VA with cameras. So either she lied to you, NJ, or she wasn't at that house on the night of the kidnapping. To be charged and held this long after the fact, they must have her in on the planning and/or whatever happened after they left the house. If she was still in clinicals at 10:30, how was it she saw him playing video games at 10 pm?

I believe there was another vehicle there too. That has bugged me from the beginning and still feel there is another person roaming around free right now. There is no way AL did this alone and motive doesnt come into clear view for me. Normally I would be done following this case since they found Beverly and arrested the perp. But I dont feel this is solved yet.
I respectfully disagree about CL. Im not sure what her involvement is. But there is some connection that landed her in jail on those charges and no bond. I think the alibi guy will come into big play. Just because I dont agree about CL, I believe you are telling it as you have heard it. If she truly was in clinicals and this can be verified, its possible she was involved with the pre meditation of this and after the fact. JMHO. Nothing intended toward you NJ. I will add its possible CL was not aware that she was helping set up a crime and made the prearrangements and then got in over her head. I can see AL somehow conning her right into it without her being aware of what the heck she was getting into until it was way too late. And I really at this time dont believe this was ever supposed to end in murder.

I believe NJ said she mispoke and it was closer to 11:00 when she saw him playing games?

Perhaps he kidnapped her/got her into a vehicle alive in order to go to an ATM like you suggest, and once they were in the car she said, "you idiot, I don't even have my ATM card....I don't have my purse!" and things went south from there....?? I just can't figure out robbery as a motive in an empty house on a person you don't even know to know what they'd even have on their person to rob!

 

[concernedmother]

There are so many questions and almost no answers. I really hope more info comes out when AL goes to court in Dec and CL goes in Jan.

I agree with both of these statements. Heck, i'm still not sure AL initially intended for it to end in murder.

I misspoke earlier on the 10 time. I was guessing. I know she told me she was home between 10 and 11 and he was home playing video games.
