Natasha Carter, also known as Alex, was 10 years old when she disappeared from the Beckley area along with her mother in 2000, according to a news release from the FBI. The agency held a news conference Thursday announcing a joint effort to attempt to solve the cold case.
“Even though it has been 21 years, this case is not sitting on a shelf,” FBI Pittsburgh Special Agent in Charge Mike Nordwall said in the news release. “I want Alex’s family and the community to know that we are focused on getting answers in this case and following every lead.”
Natasha and Susan Carter were last seen in the Beckley area on or about Aug. 8, 2000, according to the news release. At the time of their disappearance, Susan and Natasha’s father were having a custody dispute and the girl had moved in with her mother and her mother’s new husband. Not long after she moved in, the pair vanished.
Natasha would be 32 years old in December. Age-progressed photos of Natasha and Susan were provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The FBI, along with the Beckley Police Department, West Virginia State Police and U.S. Marshal Service announced renewed efforts to solve the case by combining their resources.
