Stanley Carter’s Myspace (private)
Wilkes-Barre, PA–Stanley Carter, 21, is a creepy, creepy little man. He had been staying with friends in one-half of a duplex when he wore out his welcome. The family he had been staying with asked him to leave. On December 19, Carter disappeared, the family filed a missing person report a couple of days later. He hadn’t gone far though…he found himself a cozy little hide-out in the attic.
Stacy Ferrance and her three children live in the other half of the duplex. When household items started disappearing, she suspected someone had duplicate keys to the house. She finally notified police on Christmas day to report that her laptop, some cash, and an I-Pod Nano had disappeared. The next day, she discovered footprints in her bedroom closet, where the entrance to the attic is, and called police again.
While checking out the footprints in Ferrance’s closet, deputies heard footsteps coming from the attic. When they couldn’t get a response from the strange creep in the attic, they called in the canine. When Carter heard the dog barking below the attic entrance, he surrendered. ‘When he came down from the attic, he was wearing my daughter’s pants and my sweat shirt and sneakers,’ Stacy said. ‘From what I gather, he was helping himself to my home, eating my food and stealing my clothes.’ Carter had apparently accessed the shared attic through a trap door in the neighbor’s bedroom.
Carter had a make-shift bed up in the attic…with a blanket and insulation to keep warm. Police say Carter cut a hole in the roof so he was aware of when the family came and went. He used Ferrance’s computer to send whiny emails like this: ‘I don’t want to go back to jail … I’d rather be wanted.’ Aside from the computer and the I-Pod, he also had a stash of Tums, juice boxes, food, soda, Tylenol, and had even borrowed Ferrance’s toothbrush. Gross. Police found every swiped item itemized on a piece of paper that Carter had labeled ‘Stanley’s Christmas List.’
Stanley Carter was arrested and is now being held at Luzerne County jail on $25,000 bail. He faces charges of burglary and theft. Carter is a wanted man in the state of Arkansas as well, for alleged hot check violations and nonpayment of fines, all misdemeanors. There is no plan to extradite Carter to Arkansas.
*The Myspace is definitely his…I saw a snippet of it on the news. Says he logged in on the 30th. Wonder who’s checking it for him?*
