In August 2000, 10-year-old Natasha “Alex” Carter, vanished from Beckley, West Virginia. For more than 24 years, her disappearance haunted her family and the community, with no answers — only heartbreak and unanswered questions.

In 2024, the truth finally came to light. New forensic evidence and a confession revealed what happened to Alex’s remains were found after decades of searching.

This case is deeply personal to us. Alex Carter was Courtney’s cousin, and her loss has been felt by our family every single day. Telling Alex’s story isn’t just about true crime — it’s about remembering who she was and making sure her voice is never forgotten.

🎧 Listen to our episode, where we share the full story, the investigation, and what this case means to us personally.

A new online friendship can be difficult for parents and trusted adults to understand, especially when they can’t see what’s happening on the other side of the screen.

Look for changes such as:

⚠️ Becoming more secretive about online activity

⚠️ Withdrawing from family or friends

⚠️ Spending more time isolated or alone

These changes don’t necessarily mean trafficking is occurring, but they can be signs that a teen may need support.

Watch Carter’s Story to see how digital recruitment can unfold, and share it with a teen, parent, or trusted adult. Find it at the link in our comments.
