GUILTY AR - Beverly Carter, 49, Little Rock, 25 Sep 2014 - # 3

[decemberbee45]

Because we have so many mutual friends on FB, I am privy to Carl Jr's postings. I know we do not sleuth victims, but I just wanted to say that his messages are all so positive about the love he has for his mom. He wastes no words or energy on her (accused) killer, but instead urges people to reach and tell their moms that they love them. Very touching.

 

[concernedmother]

Still cant figure out what he hoped to get by robbing her? I really dont buy this robbery motive. MHO it was a sexual assult but he has yet to be charged on a sexual charge. Thats what makes it bizarre.

 

[concernedmother]

TripleA I just reread my post and it comes across snarky. (that wasnt my intention.) I was just clarifying and it sure came out wrong. I am sorry.

 

[Krystine]

I read the same thing. That he made the appointment to view the house in his own name. It is why he was the POI from the beginning. One thing that seems strange to me is that he took her from the home and left everything behind. He only took her. It hasn't been reported that the husband walked into a bloody mess in the the open house.

I also read that his neighbor said he always had a lot of money and he didn't know where he was getting it from. He was talking about flipping houses. Possibly he really did have cash to make an offer on the house, but the offer he made did not meet the bank's minimum, and he flipped out. Personally, I think he was on drugs. Did he shave his head after he murdered her? The head shaving thing is common with addicts near the breaking point....trying to mark the beginning of change. (Sadly, I've been around someone who did this when out of their mind on meth. No one was harmed, however. But one does become psychotic after no sleep for 3 days...on top of any drugs.) The news today showed him confessing again, and he was almost weeping. Meth withdrawels make men weepy.

I think in his possible "drug mentality", he became enraged when his cash offer was not accepted by a "rich" woman....as if she had control of what offers could be accepted. In terms of his social media and dealings with other women, he seemed to be quite mysoginistic.

This guy also had weird sexual boundary issues. Of course there was the neighbor girl who complained to police about harassment. But he had strange photos of sex toys laying in the dirt, posted on his public Facebook page, claiming he "found" them on property sites. There were different ones, in different colors. I think those photos were intentional and staged. (Not to mention disgusting.) What kind of man publicly posts such things? One of his male friends even ridiculed him for it, and he tried to explain how he didn't touch anything and kicked them into place for the photos. My hope is that he was so high that he could not violate this poor woman.

This case, as many others, makes me so sad. It is such a waste of life. Beverly's family will forever be damaged by this. They appeared to be so close. Her son had many photos of her with him running various charity runs with him. Her husband looks so pained. My heart aches for them all.

At least they have who did it and she was found. Many victims and families never get this much. RIP beautiful Beverly.

Very well said Teabiscuit.
I had some time to explore AL's facebook pages and checked out some of his friends' postings. It gives close look at a culture of substance abuse and the crime that supports it. Lots of references to their time in prison, some of the women so whacked out on drugs they barely look alive. There are rants and threats like I have never seen. Posts are barely literate and full of envy and hate. I'm amazed these folk even know how to use technology, and they can't spell to save their lives.
What an eye opener for this suburban housewife.
There is such a contrast between the successful, in bed by 9:30 life of BC's family and the hopeless pitiful survival these people think is life. It is senseless to most of us, but in this underworld of have-not, desperation and anger there is more than one answer.

I'm surprised his attorney hasn't deleted his facebook page, I thought that was the first thing they do to protect their clients.

NANCY GRACE

Carter`s Body Found Through Cell Phone;
Joining me right now there on the scene, Dan Grossman, reporter with CNN affiliate KTHV. Dan, we are learning so much. And I have been told

that the way Beverly`s body was found buried in that shallow grave dug at Argos cement company, where the suspect used to work until he was fired,

was through her cell phone? Is that true, Dan?

DAN GROSSMAN, KTHV: Yes, Nancy. There are still not many details being released


STEVE HELLING, "PEOPLE" MAGAZINE: Well, yes, you`re exactly right, Nancy. They -- they went and they -- they looked at her cell phone records

and they figured out where that had pinged and where the cell phone had been. And then they started putting two and two together. The concrete

company where she was found was actually where Lewis had worked there for a few weeks. So they kind of put two and two together and zeroed in on where

she was.



(I know. Why didnt they find her sooner then, but that is what both these people said.)

I'm not sure they have any new information - the Sheriff, prosecutor and third official intimated this in the news conference given at 2 PM on Tuesday.

 

[TripleA]

TripleA I just reread my post and it comes across snarky. (that wasnt my intention.) I was just clarifying and it sure came out wrong. I am sorry.

No worry, I have thick skin, but I do appreciate that you cared enough to clarify. <3

Adding that I should not have quoted your post directly, that was my error.

 

[QueenMictlan]

In my opinion on a motive, I don't think it was robbery. I think he was going to try to hold her for ransom, but it all went to fast for him. And he might of been stalking her since he knew she worked alone a lot. The other scenario that I think could be he wanted to win favor back with his ex wife and he was going to try and get that beautiful home, the home is gorgeous I saw it inside and out online. In the narcissistic mind they tend to want to give gifts and luxury to charm the person back to them, and then after they obtain that, then they treat them like dirt again. But when he could not afford the home, then I think he took it out on Beverly. He seems impulsive and erratic in his thought process, with I see ADHD that he can't focus to long on one subject. He is also very manic in his actions.

 

[SavvyRose]

What about the motive being kidnapping? If he thought she was wealthy, and was listed as a number 3 broker in the state, he may have thought he could take her and demand ransom and it didn't go as planned.
MHO is sexual assault too because not much else makes sense atm.


ETA I didn't see your post before I posted Queen.

 

[rinbea2]

I currently live in CO, but spent the majority of my life in the LR area with most of my family still in LR & NLR which makes this case even more disturbing for me. And even though he is in custody, there just isn't any justice for this case. The more I read, the more disturbed I am. It disturbs mean on a lot of levels, the subculture of him and those in his circle. And the fact that you and I have certainly crossed paths with people like them every day in our normal average lives. They are walking around among us and we have no idea of their true capabilities of sickness. It's a scary thought because we don't know what will set them off or turn them on.

I keep looking at the number of times that he has been in jail, the crimes he & those around him have committed and it confuses me that "we" continue to allow them to have another "chance." At what point in time do we realize that rehabilitation is not working. A habitual offender doesn't stop their offenses... instead they escalate them. Did you see the list of Parolees that have abscounded in Little Rock area? These are offenders that just quit checking in with the Parole Officers. They are under the radar until they commit another crime. And this is not just LR, it's everywhere.

Not much has been said about his wife, CL. You can't live with someone like him and not be a part of that culture. I don't know if she was directly involved in or has direct knowledge of Beverly's death, but she lived with AL (even though there have been reports that she was wanting him to move out). I would bet she knows something. How is it that she is in nursing school at UALR? I'm sure that her education is being funded by you and me through government grants. Would you want a nurse with her life history taking care of you or someone you love? Would you want her in a hospital with access to drugs. She has a record, she has committed crimes & yet the government (IMO) is most likely paying for her to have legal access to drugs & property. How does this happen? UALR admission requirements states you have to pass a background check & CL started nursing school in March 2014. How did she pass a background check? Why is nothing being said about her? .... just ranting & wondering.

Shortly after he was booked, investigators obtained information that led them to a concrete company in the 12100 block of Hwy 5 in Cabot, Arkansas.

"Detectives who worked on this case, developed some information and continued the search last night after he (Lewis) was placed in jail. Her body was discovered after midnight," says Sheriff Holliday.

"Deputies said Lewis didn't tell them where they could find Carter despite undergoing 12 hours of questioning, and a TIP led them to her body.

bbm
A tip, not cell phone pings, led them to the body. This makes sense to me from what I've heard in local "rumors" stories being traded.

:clap::clap::clap: You said exactly what I've been thinking, but you said it beautifully. The system failed Beverly Carter. He should not have been on the streets!

For 2 days I've gone over and over asking why AL would rob beautiful Beverly. I don't think robbery was intended.

I wonder if somewhere, sometime Beverly saw AL say at the market, at Target --anywhere really-- and he maybe said hello and Beverly didn't give AL the attention he wanted.
That imoo could set off a psycho. I think AL was evil as they come and needed no true reason to kill.

At the press conference they stated very adamantly that it was NOT a tip that led them to the body but rather the smart work of LE working on the location. That part really stood out to me because he seemed to want it well known that LE alone got the credit for finding the location of her body. I don't know if you can find the presser online somewhere but if you watch it you'll see what I mean.

 

[concernedmother]

BEN LEVITAN, TELECOMMUNICATIONS EXPERT (via telephone): Nancy, if the cell phone was on, it was easy to do. You know (INAUDIBLE) dial 911,

Nancy. The cell phone company can determine your location within 100 feet. Now, law enforcement has been using this for the past couple years also to

track people. We can send a signal to a cell phone, and it will come back with a location within 100 feet.

Now, Nancy, if her phone was off, we can look at her cell phone records and determine what cell tower she was close to. And frankly, if

the suspect`s phone was in those same cell tower locations, it probably gave the police a clue as to who to look for and where the body possibly

was. So when her phone was last used, if it was in the same cell tower location as the suspect, then they probably had a search area of about

three square miles. If that phone was on, Nancy, they could pinpoint it down to 100 feet.

GRACE: With me, Ben Levitan, telecommunications expert. So let me get this straight. Even if your cell phone goes dead, you leave it on and

it goes dead, the police can find the last known ping before the cell phone went dead? They could go back and look at those pings? They don`t have to

look at pings in realtime, they can go back and look at the last ping, and if it was there at Argos cement factory, then they would know?

LEVITAN: Generally, you can know what cell tower it was last at. And that`s an area probably about three square miles. And if in that three

square miles was a cement factory and it`s the known workplace of the suspect, that would be an obvious place to look.

This guy gave a good explanation how they may have connected the pings to pinpoint the location. Once they realized this guy used to work at the concrete place it probably fell into place for them.

I'm also curious about his wife/gf/whatever. There is a warrant out for her arrest; "theft by receiving", dated September 29th.
https://caseinfo.aoc.arkansas.gov/c...o=P&case_id=PCS-14-6992&begin_date=&end_date=
Status is open case? I'm assuming she has not been arrested?
Theft by receiving? AL, aka not the brightest bulb on the tree, could have given her BC's phone or jewelry?

 

[concernedmother]

Would a husband generally know what cc you have in your purse? We have only heard her contents were all in her purse from the husband. I suppose he could have made her make a withdrawl off a card. LE would know this info but probably wouldnt tell the husband. There has got to be something he took for that robbery charge. Otherwise if would be an attempted robbery charge.

 

[SavvyRose]

I will watch and thank you. I remain firm on my opinion that there was a tip. Hopefully we will know for sure. It's very aggravating to be local and know things that are being said by people in the know and not be able to back it up with links. So.. It's JMO for now, but I bet I'm able to say "told ya" one day. (Not to you but just in general to people that have been informed it was cell pings or LE investigation alone that led them to her grave when they did.

Hushing my mouth now.
I have a slow day at work and I'm spending it with y'all. Lol

I thought that the $17k was from a previous house purchase and had nothing to do with this crime at all. Didn't another Realtor say that when he purchased his last house that he came with a back pack filled with that cash? I feel like this info got melded in with this case and it is from a previous real estate deal.

It did. The 17 grand he was flashing around was a year earlier in 2013. The lady he bought the house from gave an interview just a couple of days ago. She was the one that was talking about him walking in with a backpack and flashing the cash around. I believe it was a mobile home he was buying.
