She was abducted by her non-custodial mother, Susan Gail Carter. A felony warrant for Kidnapping was issued for the abductor on November 13, 2000. The abductor may be using the alias Susan Gail Carter Webb and she may alter her appearance. They may have traveled out of state. They may be accompanied by an adult male. Natasha has a scar on her left eyebrow.

Natasha may be using the name "Alex" For some reason there are duplicate listings for her at NCME. Each listing has an age progressed photo which to me look quite different. There is also a photo of Susan Gail Carter Webb at the site.

This is a link to the other listing for Natasha http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PubCaseSearchServlet?act=viewChildDetail&caseNum=carter&orgPrefix=USWV&seqNum=1&caseLang=en_US&searchLang=en_US

That mother is one un-attractive woman. She must've changed her appearance or she would've been found by now - that kind of ugliness stands out in a crowd!

Well I have just spent the better part of the afternoon searching myspace.com for Natasha. I looked at 286 profiles for young females going by the name "Alex" which is one of Natasha's nick names. I found an Alex Carter who was the right age but it was not her. Back to the search....

Genevieve Rachel Nielsen http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39446 was found after 30 years and now her Mother is waiting to be reunited with her daughter. I wonder if Natasha has been told that her Father is dead? I have spent countless hours searching for information on Natasha or her mother
Susan Gail Carter. Wouldn't it be great if we here at WS's could reunite Natasha with her Father and other extended family?......Shadow205...Where Iam staying sometime's in very isolated spot's in WV people I knowed has dyed and I didn't know about it until sometime's year's after the fact..

I don't think Shadow means that Rick died. I think she is wondering if the mother told her daughter that the father was dead. It would be a lie but often when children are kidnapped by the noncustodial parent...that parent will say the other parent died or that the other parent doesn't want them anymore or doesn't love them anymore. That is what I got from Shadow's post anyway.

I was just trying not to embarassed myself again.. That make's me feel very bad asking family member's that I might run into at a big store or something about someone and they been dead for a couple year's and I just didn't know about it..I really hate too but I just don't say nothing to them and wait until they maybe ask me about them..That's very embarassing to ask someone about something like that and find out the bad news year's later.. I mean no harm but I just not heard that they has passed away.

Hey Welder,

I never got your reply to my email. Send it again plaese. If you know the family of Natasha there are some questions you might be able to get answers to. Somebody must have some idea of where the mother might have taken her to. Where does she have family? It was also mentioned that they might be traveling with a male. If we had his name, he might be easier to trace.

08-01-2006, 04:37 PM

OK....here are my 1st thoughts, observations, questions, etc.

NCMC has 2 cases, as mentioned, listed for this child.

1st case NCMC895999 has Natasha missing from Beckley, and has an age progression picture to age 15. Notes case is handled by NCMC.

2nd case USWVcarter has Natasha missing from Pineville and the age progression photo is to age 13. Notes case is handled by WVSP.

Why 2 cases listed?
Why 2 different cities listed?

Do we have info on the father? If so, what info do we have?

christine2448

08-01-2006, 04:54 PM

Why do we think Natasha may be going as Alex?

Why do we think Susan may be using alias Webb?

I found a Susan Webb (on my detective program) listed in WV, no age known, says YES under children, and less then highschool edgumacation :) No phone, but addy is listed, the town is Beavertown I believe, I need to go back and look. I wanted to know the answers first to all of my questions....to help me know which direction to go.

I also found Susan Carter listed in Beckely, I'm sure that is old, sometimes these online proggys are outdated!

Shadow205

08-01-2006, 06:07 PM

Christine,

I will try and answer all of your questions. I do not know why there is 2 listings but it is the same case, missing since August 8, 2000. Beckley is the nearest large city(not really large though) to Pineville. The main office for the WV State Police is in Beckley so that could be where that confusion comes in.
The information about Susan Gail Carter possibly going by Webb (which I think is her maiden name) came from the missing poster.
The information about Natasha possibly going by "Alex" came from another web site where I found her listed. I thought that I posted the link but I guess I didn't. I will find it again and post it.
When I first started researching I found a Susan Carter in Glen Fork, WV which I think might be the right one. Glen Fork is approx 15 miles from Pineville. I hope that helps a little.

Here's the first part of an article about Natasha:

Family wonders about girl missing for three years Three years ago, Shirley Day's blond, blue-eyed granddaughter vanished without a trace. Day's son was waiting at the Happy Ever After Counseling Center in Oak Hill for the child's mother to bring her for a mediation session that was part of their custody arrangements, but neither the child nor the child's mother ever arrived..

I have to make this very brief and I promise to post much more this evening. I just had an hour long conversation with the paternal grandmother, Shirley Day. She is very excited about us offering to help. She gave me so much information. Some of it is rather sensitive so will be shared by PM's and emails. I'm sure that you will all understand. I will share with anyone who is interested in helping but I don't feel it is right to post some of it in the forum. I am sorry that I can not do it right now but I am late for an apt. I promise to share all of the information as soon as I get home. There are leads which were never followed up on properly and lots of work to be done. Let me know who wants the emails.

08-02-2006, 03:58 PM

Yes Christine, I am going to cal the Dad tonight. His Mom was going to tell him about our coversation so he will be expecting my call. I only live about 40mins from him so I am going to try and make arrangements to meet with him. I think it would be easier to go everything in person. From what the Grandmother said, he has files of information. There have been PI's, bounty hunters and others involved in the search over the years. The family has been victimized on more than one occasion by paying someone for information or to check out a leed and to never hear from the person again. I assured her that no one from WS's would ever ask for or accept any money from them.

I have notes from our conversation that I need to sort out before posting the information. I will get it posted later today. I am sending both the Dad & the Grandmother the link to this thread. I'm not sure when they will join but they will be reading.

Great work! Can't wait to hear what has been going on and what leads were not followed....wtg anxiously for your next post to see where we go from here.

I have done searches on a different combos of names and have come up with a few possibles....but want to find out everything we can, they may be ruled out by info you already have or will get from Dad and Grandma.

Find out all you can about the possible 'male companion' and her family/friends!

Be careful Shadow!

I just spoke with Natasha's Dad, Rick. He his happy to hear that we are interested in helping. He gave me the names of the investigators involved with Natasha's disappearence. I am going to make contact with them and see if they will share any information.

A little about Natasha. She is computer savy. She had her own website at 10 years old. Her Dad thought it was some sort of site affiliated with Disney. I have searched myspace.com but think that we should continue to look there.

Natasha knew how to make a collect call and had done so on different occasions. He feels that if she were able to call she would have called either him or her Grandmother.

The last person to see Susan alive was her husband at the time. I will share the name with anyone who wants it by PM. Some people believe that he had something to do with them disappearing and he supposedly poured new concrete in his basement less then a month after they went missing. According to Rick, his house was never checked and he never took a polygraph.

There was a lead that did not pan out a couple of years ago in Florida. Someone supposedly saw Natasha with a black male who was a known pimp in the Orlando area.

About 6months after Susan disappeared, her car keys were found somewhere and had a Kroger card on them that said "If found drop in the mail". The keys turned up at the Kroger clearing house in Roanoke,VA. Rick said they never heard anything more about that.

There was some speculation related to the Jennifer Short case(there is a thread on WS about Jennifer). I have not looked into that information as of yet. The Grandmother said that the body that was found and presumed to be Jennifer was to decomposed for the amount of time that Jennifer had been missing. As I said I have not looked into that. The Grandmother said when that body was found, she thought that it might have been Natasha.

There is a group of white supremists who have a large compund in WV. They received information that Susan may be living there with Natasha.

That is about it except for a few details that I will share by PM.

Any ideas on where to go from here?

I hope that you folks can find out something about this mom and daughter.
If I can do something to help out I would be glad to. I live so far away that I don't know what good I would be to you though. I would appreciate being on your email list and knowing what is going on in the case.

Wouldn't it be something if you solved this case! It doesn't sound like LE put to much heart in it. Has the FBI ever been involved in it as Natasha was fairly young when her mom took her and the dad had custody. I see them involved in other cases now when it is the parent without custody who takes the child.
Keep us up to date please....I'll pray!

We need more info on the abuduction......did the mom threaten to take her for good, or was this outta character and maybe the mom was 'taken' too?

How long were the parents divorced, how were visitations before?

Still want more info on the 'male companion'...I have so many questions.

I wish we had a list of family members for everyone involved.

Shadow, I know you are working on all this...but my mind is just reeling.

This is turning out not be a 'non custodial abduction'...sounds like a lot more to learn here.

Volunteers? We need to talk to dad about that, finding everything we can about Natasha will help us find where she might hang out on the web, what things may be in her profile, etc. narrowing down who is NOT her. Any friends Natasha may have kept up with secretly? How old is she again right now? Dang, I left my handy dandy notebook home!

What was Natasha's relationship with dad and grandma leading up to time of disappearance? Are they SURE she would have called?

What is/was Natasha's relationship with mom at time of disappearance?

The X husband, where is he now? When were they married? What was Natasha's relationship like with him leading up to time of disappearance?

Maybe some of us should check the Jennifer Short case, see how it could maybe line up with this one?

According to both the Grnadmother and the Dad, the relationship was good and both feel that she would call if she could.
The X husband, where is he now? When were they married? What was Natasha's relationship like with him leading up to time of disappearance? He still lives in the same house that he lived in when they went missing. I don't know when he and Susan were married but they were married at the time of their disappearence. According to the Grandmother, Natasha was afraid of him and slept with a knife under her pillow.
What is/was Natasha's relationship with mom at time of disappearance? According to the Grandmother, not so good. Natasha would rather have been with her Grandmother or her Dad. The Grandmother had custody of her while another matter was being invesitgated. There had been an allegation of abuse against the Dadby Susan which was unfounded. He was fighting for full custody of Natasha when they disappeared.

The last person to see them alive was the ex-husband who by the way is now married to Susan's older daughter.

There is certainly some similarity, with what little we can see (one eye!) with this Natasha's picture.

I don't think it sounds too good that the ex (not Natasha's father) is now married to Susan's older daughter. I may be getting jaded with all of the horrible crimes we see and investigate here on WS, but that just smacks of foul play, IMO. What kind of daughter would marry her mom's ex? Well, other than Woody Allen, that is! It would be awfully easy to think the ex and the older daughter had something to do with this disappearance.

Shadow 205...I wonder beings Natasha was so young when her mother took her would she have believed her mother if she told Natasha that her dad and gramma were in a accident and both died? Or if she said that she tried to contact them and no one ever answered the phone and then she found out about the accident? I'm just thinking that so many parents tell their kids stuff like that and the kids believe them. Maybe that is why she has never tried to call. Maybe mom convinced her.

Both mom and daughter could both be living under a different name although Natasha was old enough to know her name and question a change. How about if mom had started calling her Tasha for short or Tash.

I don't know if we are all understanding eachother......maybe we are?

I think what beakiebean meant was if we knew what the old address was, we could 'rebuild it'...incase she went to see what ever happened to it, it would open and she would find that we are looking at it?

And Shadow, your saying, dad doesn't know what the site was at all?

Maybe he can try and find something related, does he still have any of her belongings....the computer she used maybe?

This article was written in 2005...so it can't be our Natasha right?

Another problem? Double counting. With a $10-an-hour clerical job at Howard University, Marilyn Bryant, 41, earns too much money to qualify for any federal assistance, yet is poor enough to live in the Thea Bowman House, which is heavily subsidized by So Others Might Eat. Her three-bedroom apartment rents for $349 a month, but her $400 weekly income is deceptive: A quarter of it is extracted from her paycheck as child support for her daughter, Natasha Carter, 15, who lives with her father. The Census Bureau still records Bryant's income as $400 a week, Michael said, but it also includes $100 of that in Carter's household income.

I found 52 Natasha Carters on Classmates...I need to figure out her timeline of schooling so I can narrow it down.

32 Alex Carters found.

She would be 17 now right? So that puts her in 11/12? Her graduating year would be 2007? I am not a very good sleuther ya'll! I am so bad out trying to figure out dates. Help? I need her timeline of schooling, they have Elementary schools, middle and high.

Hi all,

First time posting as I'm new to all of this....found something I thought was interesting from a disney related website. It's posted from Sept 2000, a month or two after Natasha went missing but....

"Disney and Fairy Tales--Helping Natasha
Hello all,

I have been working with Natasha on her project and she has asked some interesting questions about fairy tales and Disney....."

taken from http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/boardarchives/2000/oct2000/disney_fairytales.html

I searched through the other archives that year and do not find any other reference to Natasha - message, username, etc. A "project" just really reminded me of "homework"....something a young girl may be doing for school? hobby?

Prayers for all the missing and their families,
ScooterD

Wow, you guys have been busy today. Christine, I think that the myspace might be worth looking at a little more. The best the I can figure is that she would be going into the 11th grade this year.

mooner123

08-11-2006, 01:54 AM

(just my opinion)

i started reading this info about Natasha today so I don't know all of the details, but I was trying to figure WHY she would not make contact w/her father or grandmother, especially if she knows how to make collect calls and is able to. She could've at least borrowed a cell phone from a friend at some point. I wonder if maybe she doesn't just doesn't want to be found. What would be the reason? If she is computer saavy, at the very least she would've googled her own name before and could easily see that she is a missing person. If you are looking for websites that she could be on now, such as a myspace.com, if she is there, then she obviously doesn't want to be found.

Although I think her father deserves to know what happened to her, I think it's important to know if there was a good enough reason for Natasha to go with a mother that she may not have been close to. Was she suddenly uncomfortable around her father? It doesn't sound like things were going very well in her world. Maybe she wasn't comfortable with her grandmother.

Since no one knows what happened to her, then i think they should be focusing on her step father, the lead where she seen w/a pimp, etc. or if any foul play is involved.

The following is the letter I sent to missing and exploited kids this morning. I tried to put this here first, but wasn't approved yet:

Hi there,
Last night I was scanning through the missing children from WV (I am from WV). It occurred to me that some of these kids
might have a MySpace account, since most teenagers seem to these days. So I started searching for the names of the missing
kids and I found something rather interesting that you might want to check on if you haven't already. In regards to Natasha
Carter, missing from Beckley, WV: Poster (http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PubCaseSearchServlet?act=viewPoster&caseNum=895999&orgPrefix=NCMC&searchLang=en_US)
I found this MySpace account and the girl is supposedly from Salem, WV and she looks strikingly like the girl who is missing:
MySpace Account (http://www.myspace.com/neverxforgetxthis)
She logged in just yesterday. Then, I went to google. I typed in "neverxforgetxthis" and saw what it brought up. Google
has a cached copy of what this blog looked like a few months ago here:

Google's Cached Version of Her MySpace Account (http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:zyj1OX0JzBMJ<img src=)

Just a few months ago it said she lived in Phoenix, AZ. Now being from WV I know that not a whole lot of people relocate
from somewhere progressive like Phoenix, AZ to Salem, WV. In her "about me" section she states that she hates Arizona. She
also says "it will take me a really long time to trust you." The only thing about this is that the birthday says springtime
and hers the missing girl's is in December. But that could be easy enough to lie about. The cached version lists a high
school from AZ and one kid even signed her comments section and left his phone number. I don't know, it probably is just a
coincidence, but you might want to check this out. Thanks for everything you do for these poor kids.

wildchildzmom,

Welcome to WS's and welcome to Natasha's thread. I had looked at the Natasha in Salem,WV a wile back and for some reason, eliminated her as being our Natasha Carter. I honestly don't remember what it was that led me to think that it was not her but I do remember looking at her. It was not set to "private" when I looked at it before. Maybe there were more pictures or something. I have looked at so many on myspace, I just don't remember.

Take a look at post# 33 if you haven't already.

wildchildzmom

09-05-2006, 12:45 AM

Hi there,

Thanks for the welcome. I did look at post #33. It's hard to say if that's her with so little facial features. The strangest thing that set me off with the Salem, WV one was that just a few months ago she was listed to be in Phoenix, AZ. All her friends were in Phoenix on her friend's list. Not many people move from Phoenix to Salem, WV. Unless they have family ties. I dunno, I just think it's odd. I sent all this to my mother-in-law who used to be an LA police officer and she told me to call the police! She has been trained in facial profiling and such and said it looked exactly the same. Also, a friend of mine who is a contributor at pervertedjustice.com and she really felt it could be her. I was also looking at these pictures when I decided this really looked like her:

Image #1 (http://www.childsearch.org/images/natasha_carter2.jpg) Image #2 (http://www.childsearch.org/natasha_carter.html)

Her mouth, her nose, her eyes. Same kind of look. I dunno. Her mom sure looks creepy though!

Hey thanks for the welcome everybody! I enjoy solving mysteries using the internet and I love to find information. If there is anything you think I can help with, let me know. I found this while researching Natasha Carter online on my own. This is a great place from what I can see.

Yes, please let me know what her dad and grandma say about the pictures. There is just something *real* similar about those faces to me. I sure hope it is!

Hugs,

It is amazing how much the two pictures look alike. If that isn't her I will be shocked. You sure did a great job coming up with that picture from myspace.
I'm anxious to see what the dad and gramma think too. That has to be her.
One of the things that got my attention is her cheekbones and the line that goes from her cheekbones down to her mouth as she is smiling. Everything about those two pictures is the same.

By the way....welcome. Its so nice to have new people join us and add their thoughts and ideas. This is a great place as you have probably already found out.

Shadow205

09-06-2006, 06:10 PM

I sent the picture of the girl on myspace to Natasha's Dad and Grnadmother. I have not heard back from the GrandMother but I received this from the Dad:

I do see a resemblance to Alex's facial shape,
but that's all. Remeber, Alex has blue eyes and a
vertical scar from an auto accident running through
her eyebrow. Plus, her hair is blonde naturally. If
you have reason to believe this might be Alex, please
fill me in. I forwarded your email to Mom and am
having her have a look-see.

wildchildzmom

09-06-2006, 06:30 PM

Hmmm....I don't think you can tell from those pictures whether that girl has a scar or what color her eyes really are, ya know? I've looked at her old pictures and you can't even see the scar and eye color clearly. Hair color can be dyed, easily, and it also can darken with age. For that matter, eye color can be easily changed if a sneaky mom wanted to. If she is serious about hiding her, she isn't gonna let obvious things like eye color, hair color, etc make it any easier. It would be so hard and strange to not have seen your child in six years! I know in the past six years my oldest son's hair color has completely changed to a darker color. I did email all of this information to the WV State Police just so they could investigate if they feel it is necessary. I'll be anxious to hear what grandma thought.

I guess a father would recognize his daughter but I swear that is the same girl. She has an unordinary face. It doesn't just blend in with a hundred other girls her age. I hope LE does check it out just to be sure. I would think there would be some changes in the girl after all...her mom is hiding her.
Can't wait to see what the gramma thinks.

Bobbisangel

09-07-2006, 08:42 AM

wildchildzmom,

Can you go back to the girl on myspace information and see if she says what color her eyes are?

I don't see how the dad can even see if there is a scar through her eyebrow or what color her eyes are. I notice in her missing picture her bangs are over her eyebrows and I can't tell what color her eyes are in that pic although I'm sure her dad knows the color of her eyes.

wildchildzmom

09-07-2006, 01:50 PM

Yeah, you can't tell see her left eyebrow or whether there is a scar or not on the myspace girl. You also cannot see what color her eyes are...and it doesn't mention it in the cached myspace either. So Dad could not possibly tell whether that girl has a scar or her eye color. And the hair color? Hair color changes as we get older and it can be dyed. For that matter, if someone was serious about hiding someone eyecolor can be changed with contacts easily and even scars could be removed with plastic surgery. But this girl says her name is Natasha Carter (if you type in Natasha Carter in the search feature that is how I found her). It is just overwhelmingly strange to me that this girl looks so much like the missing girl in the face, is the same age, has apparently relocated from Phoenix, AZ to Salem, WV. I wonder if Phoenix or Salem would ring a bell with Dad or Grandma as to locations selected by mom? The girl on myspace says that she hates Arizona and that she is very slow to trust others. I dunno....I hope the police investigate this. I feel overwhelmingly convinced that there is a good chance this is Natasha who is missing.

When you search for Natasha Carter on myspace, you will get 58 profiles. I have looked at each and every one of them more than once along with other combinations for her name. Her Dad said that she went by "Alexis" (short for Alexsandra). I have also viewed page after page of profiles under that name.

For some reason the link posted by wildchildzmom for the cached version of the myspace page is no longer working for me.

I have not heard back from the Grandmother on her thoughts on the girl in the picture yet. I will post an update when I hear from her.

just a quick thought here, does anyone know if natasha ever had a email address? yahoo or msn or any other provider? if she did maybe le could contact the email provider and find out where a login is being made from? I haven't read ever detail of this case, but did she have a sister? where is the mom? dad? or maybe even a boyfriend or close friend of the family. hopefully this myspace info that has come to light here might be the lead needed to find her, I looked at it several times and there seems to be some resemblence of the girl on the left to natasha. of course it is hard to tell about eye color, some contact lens can be used to change the eye color appearence. hair color can always be changed easily.

wildchildzmom

09-07-2006, 08:14 PM

Ok, sleuths...I dunno anymore. I was going through her friend's list from the cached version at google and it occurred to me to go to their pictures (any of them open, anyway). I found a picture of this Natasha with a friend of hers. It is a good closeup, but the left eyebrow is still turned away from the camera. I found this at her friend http://www.myspace.com/plygurl_fairy69

By the way, this myspace natasha goes by "tasha" often.http://rosemeadow.smugmug.com/photos/93731627-S.jpg http://rosemeadow.smugmug.com/photos/93735948-S.jpghttp://rosemeadow.smugmug.com/photos/93734321-S.jpg http://rosemeadow.smugmug.com/photos/93734635-S.jpg

http://rosemeadow.smugmug.com/photos/93733569-S.jpg http://rosemeadow.smugmug.com/photos/93733977-S.jpg

There is even a comment left for this picture by the myspace Natasha. It looks like her eyes are either brown or hazel in this picture. I can't tell. They definately don't look blue. However, eyecolor can be changed easily these days so who knows. And, of course, the hair is definately not blonde. I might stick this picture in photoshop and add some hair to it like the kid in the pictures had to see if that makes a difference. I'll post that when I am done.

Wildxhilzmom,

That is great work! I hope that you get a reply back from the letters that you sent out. To be honest though, I do not think that it is our Natasha. In the first picture that you posted I saw a slight resemblance. I do not see any at all in the close up picture. That is JMO though and Lord knows I have been wrong before.
I'll let you know what the family thinks. Keep up the research! I pray that she is out there and if she is we will find her.

wildchildzmom

09-08-2006, 02:14 PM

You are probably right, Shadow. It's so hard to tell after years go by like they have with missing kids. It must be terribly sad to look at pictures of kids and not be able to tell if they could be your child or not. Kids change so much, especially if they are being hid. I thank the good Lord every day that I haven't had to know such pain. I hope we can find her too....

wildchildzmom

09-09-2006, 01:42 PM

Shadow,

Do we have any other information about this case at all? For example, what was mom's maiden name? Where are mom's parents, brothers, sisters, etc? What was the name of the male they might have left with? What school did Natasha go to? Who were some of her little friends (they might have myspaces now that she may visit secretly). Where was mom's family from? What did mom do for a living? Just anything would help in trying to locate her.

Thanks...

partyuv5

09-10-2006, 05:51 AM

If mom was trying to hide her I doubt she would allow her to have a site on myspace! Wouldn't mom have a job and a SS# that LE could trace? Doesn't Natasha have a SS#? At age 16/17 most kids have a job for spending money. If an ex can be found for child support by a SS#, why can't missing people? Unless mom was really smart and has a new identity for her and Natasha. But then, if one of these people on myspace could be her, why would she use her real name?

Just wondering.

wildchildzmom

09-10-2006, 02:42 PM

Mom might not even know that she has a myspace. Lots of parents don't have a clue about anything to do with myspace or anything else. Also, Natasha may not even realize that she is missing. Like someone said earlier, mom might have told her a long time ago that dad and grandma got killed in an accident or something and that would be that. No one really knows. Even if she did know she was missing, kids are sneaky and do lots of things behind parents' backs....like making myspaces!

I don't know about the ss# thing. I would have to think that if you were going to go to the extent of kidnapping your own child and be successful in being gone this long you would probably have a different id and ss#. I don't know. That seems really difficult to imagine being able to do. Seems like they could trace her somehow like that. I mean, does her SS record just end in 2000?

West Virginia children still missing
by Brad McElhinny (http://www.dailymail.com/contactEmail.php?rid=62)

Rather than hope, the recent discovery of a Missouri boy who had been missing four years just raised more questions for Shirley Day.

Day, a 74-year-old Wyoming County resident, has her own heartbreaking mystery. Her granddaughter, Natasha Alexandra Carter, has been missing for seven years. Alex, as she was called, is one of three West Virginia children who have long been listed as missing by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Shirley Day has been watching news reports about 15-year-old Shawn Hornbeck. The boy was found this week after being abducted while riding his bike in 2002. Adding to the mystery: Hornbeck apparently hung out with friends, had a cell phone and rode his bike around alone. His abductor held down two jobs that frequently caused him to leave his apartment.

"I can't understand why he didn't get in touch with his family," Day said. "It makes you wonder, doesn't it? I know what that family has gone through. But you know something, that child will never be the same."

The story resonates with Day, who wonders all the time why her granddaughter can't or won't pick up the telephone and call her.

Alex was 10 years old when she went missing on Aug. 8, 2000. Authorities said they believe she was taken by her mother, Susan Gail Carter, after a contentious custody hearing. Susan Carter and Day's son, Ricky Lafferty, were in a brutal fight to keep Alex.

"She really got into it with the mediator," Day said. "Then she told Ricky he would never see Alex again. She got in the car with a man she later married. Alex was in the car. They had the windows rolled up. They wouldn't let Ricky talk to them."

The car rolled away, and that was the last time Alex's family saw her, although no one knew until later just how final the parting would be. There was another hearing in September. Susan didn't show up. Her lawyer told the judge he didn't know where to find her.

At first, no one but the family seemed to be alarmed.

"The authorities acted like because her mother had taken her everything was all right," said Day, who was a Wyoming County magistrate for two years in the mid-1980s and who also was a licensed practical nurse, an insurance agent and ran a beauty shop.

But by November of that year, a felony warrant for kidnapping was issued for Susan Carter.

Like Shawn Hornbeck, Alex Carter was old enough when she disappeared to know her family's telephone numbers. Day has fading hopes that the girl still might call some day. "In the winter, when she was first gone, I would get up in the night and look out on the porch," she said. "I thought she might have come home and was lying on the porch. You think of everything in the world."

Shadow, it's been bothering me for a couple of hours now and I've hesitated to say anything, but I think I've seen someone who looks very similar to the mother. The eyes, and that same lopsided smile, but much heavier in weight. Probably a parent of a kid in one of my kids classrooms, seen at a school party or event.

I just can't remember who, when, or where I've seen the person for sure. Maybe it's one of those things that will come to mind when I'm very relaxed or it just might have to wait until I see this mom again. Probably 99% chance that it's NOT the same person but I'll be sure to let you know if I ever remember or see her again.

I am ashamed to say that I have neglected Natasha's case and by doing so, let 2 possible leads slip by me. This one and
