The Latest News in the Beverly Carter Case ... RIP!!! Arron Lewis, 33, the man who faces charges of kidnapping and killing Carter, told reporters that he abducted the Arkansas real estate agent because she was alone and had money. Lewis has been charged with kidnapping, robbery, and capital murder in connection with the death of Carter, who went missing Sept. 25. Carters husband later reported her missing after not hearing from her and visiting the property she was showing, where he found Carters car still parked and the door to the home left open. As a massive search for Carter ensued, police arrested Lewis on Monday. Police say that he admitted to kidnapping Carter at the time but refused to reveal her whereabouts. Police discovered Carters body Tuesday morning in a shallow grave at an Arkansas concrete company about 25 miles outside of Little Rock. In court Tuesday, Lewis said he killed Carter because she was a rich broker. He told the court that he initially wanted to plead guilty but then changed his plea. I just want this all over with, he said. He told the court he would not plead guilty to capital murder. Carters death happened at the end of REALTOR® Safety Month, a campaign by REALTOR® associations every September to shed light on the dangers that lurk in the real estate profession. My heart goes out to her family, her friends, her co-workers, and everyone whose life Beverly touched in her 49 years with us, NAR 2014 President-Elect Chris Polychron said in a statement earlier this week. Working in real estate involves risk, and, unfortunately, that risk takes many forms. As an industry, we collectively work very hard to promote safety awareness among our members. We are fully committed to educating REALTORS® about potential threats and providing them with resources to protect themselves. I urge all REALTORS® to honor Beverly Carter by keeping safe and looking out for each other.
