Bodies believed to belong to a mother and daughter not seen since August 2000 were found in a backyard in West Virginia hours after their suspected killer died Monday.
Remains of mother, daughter found in West Virginia soon after confessed killer’s death
The pair were staying in the house of a friend, Larry Webb, who was the suspect, around the time they disappeared. The case went cold for years, but an investigation of his house found a bullet behind the baseboard of the bed in a room used by Alex, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Tony Rausa said at a press conference Tuesday.
Earlier this month, investigators went to a nursing home to speak to Webb. When confronted with the evidence, he confessed and told investigators that the remains were in a shallow, unmarked grave in his backyard, Mr. Rausa said.Webb said he shot Ms. Carter over a money argument and killed Alex to avoid detection for the first shooting, Mr. Hatfield explained.
