    Larry Webb, a West Virginia man, has been indicted on a murder charge in connection with the disappearance of a girl named Natasha Alex Carter in 2000. The indictment was announced by the Raleigh County Prosecutor's Office on October 24, 2023. Webb was already serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife when the indictment was handed down. The case of Natasha Alex Carter, who was 14 years old at the time of her disappearance, has remained unsolved for over two decades.

    In a separate case, Natalie Cochran, also from West Virginia, has been re-indicted for the murder of her husband. The re-indictment was announced on October 24, 2023, by the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office. Cochran was initially indicted in 2020, but the case was dismissed due to procedural errors. The new indictment includes charges of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and insurance fraud. Cochran's husband, Michael Cochran, was found dead in their home in 2019. The cause of death was initially ruled as a drug overdose, but further investigation led to suspicions of foul play.
