A US father finally has closure after authorities found the remains of his young daughter and her mother after a deathbed confession from the man believed to have fatally shot them decades ago.

A West Virginia father is getting some sense of closure after authorities found the remains of his young daughter and her mother following a deathbed confession from the man believed to have fatally shot them nearly two decades ago.

In 2000, the Carters were living at Webb's home, authorities said. Webb told the investigator some of his cash in the home went missing, and Webb suspected Susan Carter had "spent a lot of money. They had an argument about it and he shot her," Hatfield continued. Webb said he felt he then had no choice but to shoot Alex, "to avoid detection for having killed Susan."

"It's been about 24 years and this case went cold so many times," Lafferty added. "Almost lost hope several times."Susan Gail Carter and her daughter were living with Larry Webb when they disappeared. Ahead of a court date earlier this month, one of the investigators was able to speak with Webb at his nursing home facility, according to Hatfield. Webb confessed to the killings, detailing his motive and the location of the bodies in the back of his property, Hatfield said.
