On September 25th 2014 Real Estate agent Beverly Carter had one last showing at 6 pm. At 5:30 she called her husband to let him know that she was almost done for the day. Hours ticked by and Beverly’s husband Carl Sr started to get worried Beverly hadn’t arrived home yet. He would go to the property she was to show and what he found would raise the alarms.
