Why no word on missing son?

Monday, September 12, 2005

I have never written to the editor before, and I don't know how to start, so I'll just say what's in my heart.

You read about all these people in the news who have been missing, like the Runaway Bride and all the dear ones who really are missing. My son, David Edward Carter, has been missing since Dec. 14, 2004, and not one word has ever been said about him.

The investigation is still going on, the police assure me. Meanwhile, the ones responsible for David being missing walk free. It's not fair. My son is just as important as anybody else's child.

Maybe we don't have enough money to offer big rewards, but it should be on the news about his disappearance just like all the others.

We mailed the following link to stations in Hagerstown, Baltimore, DC, Harrisburg, and some newspapers as well. We are getting a fair bit of traffic right now from stories we are posting about Taylor Behl because she is local to the DC and Richmond areas so we will see what happens. We included the text of the letter to YDR in the emails.

I checked the archives and other missing sites for any articles that would have covered David.

I can only find the one letter to the editor that his Mother wrote back in 2005.

Very disheartening for me, I can't imagine what his Mother is going through. Bless her heart.

It's been more than six years since David Edward Carter disappeared. Police suspect foul play. Carter would be 43 years old, his last known address is Aubel Road in Peach Bottom Township.

I used to live in that area and knew Dave. I wonder if the police checked the quarries. Most are filled with water and are really deep.

I couldnt get the other link to open, so not sure if it's the same info or not. I didn't realize he was from pa, but missing from md. I've been looking at unidentified in md for him for the last hour. Now im thinking i should be looking in pa!

Eta: that has him listed in peachbottom township pa , while charley project had him peachbottom township md

 

[SurrealisticSlumbers]

Peach Bottom is just over the border in PA... I don't live far from there.

Seems his mother thinks people are "responsible" for his disappearance... Few details available in his case. I went to high school up in Whiteford, and it's all just farmland and quiet neighborhoods tucked back there, roads largely unpaved. The kind of place where most people are 50+. I wonder if he was going through some tough times and may have been suicidal?

As someone who grew up in the area and ran in the same circle as Dave, I’ve heard stories just as most people from the area have.
Dave was an amazing person with a huge heart, he truly was but he also had fallen in with the wrong crowd of people and was using drugs.

The town rumors go as this: The people he was with that day were Austin Farley and James Metz, who picked Dave up from work knowing that he had gotten paid that day and they all had planned to drive to the city (Baltimore) to purchase drugs. The two men tried to rob Dave and something bad happened to him. It’s been said that Cathy Hodge (gf of one of the men) helped the men dispose of Dave in the Whiteford quarries. Many people believe there is truth to these rumors.
I should mention that all the above people have since died due to drug overdoses and such. So thankful I made it out of that town. Praying that the Carter family may one day find some peace.
