RSSPolice Release Pictures/Photo of Suspect at ATM in the Murder of UNC Coed Eve Carson
Could this be the lead that breaks the case of the murder of UNC’s Eve Carson? Eve Carson died from multiple gun shot wounds near campus. Her SUV was later found. Did the suspect in Eve Carson’s death actually drive her SUV to an ATM and use her ATM bank cards? Did he do this before or after he killed her?
The police have released two photos of a suspect in the murder of 22 year old University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill coed Eve Carson. The pictures show the suspect, a black man in his teens or early 20’s in an SUV that may be Eve Carson’s, pulling up to an ATM.
Chief Brian Curran described the photos as “the biggest break” and “strongest lead” in the case yet.
Two photographs show a black man in his late teens or early 20s. He is riding in a sport-utility vehicle with a roof rack that might have been Carson’s. Officers emphasized they did not definitively know if the vehicle belonged to Carson.
A third photograph shows a green ball cap with an orange star that the man was wearing.
The photographs were taken by a camera at an automated-teller machine, but Curran did not disclose when and where they were taken. Those questions, he said, would be reserved for when police questioned the suspect.
Anyone with any information or if you recognize this thug in the pictures please call police at 919-968-2760 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515 if they think they have information that might help.

It’s amazing how you all spend so much time on this site attacking people of color. Not all Black people rob and rape and kill, as you would all like to believe. What happened to Eve was unfortunate, and yes, she had a bright future ahead of her. And yes, whoever killed her needs to be punished, but cut out the racist crap and stop being insecure.
What a suprise another black kills a white lady. Not! I hope they catch him and he gets the DP. DO you remeber when your were upset about the white people that terriozed a black lady not to long ago. The white creeps let her live no dp for that. These 2 black things took 2 promising lives. They need the dp. Those white jerks just need long jail sentences. Thats the difference!
Maybe you could undestand that now!
u need to shaddup with your .. poor black.. mentality..the fact remains a black killed a white woman.. had it been a white man than they would of said a white man .. and than what .. the whites would say .. poor me .. their playing the white race card.. you need to grow up…
DID YOU SEE THE PICTURE OF THE GUYS ARRESTED.. ???
who cares what color .. they killed a human…
i rest my case…
Never really see a white guy killing a black lady do you? You see a lot more black on white than white on black. Rev Al Sharpton actually helps the black race in that regard. Regular white folks do not have anyhting like him. If it was a white guy then he should get the dp but guess what it was 2 blacks.
If the suspect was attempting to use the victim’s ATM card, that must mean that he thought he had her PIN code. It seems strange, though, that he would drive up to the ATM machine in her SUV if if the victim were already dead. He’d have to know that there would be an APB out for the vehicle. Does anyone know the timestamp on the ATM photos? I believe the ATM transaction might have preceded the murder, unless the suspect is a complete idiot, which I suppose is possible.
Based on the incomplete information we have at the moment, I believe the crime most likely occured in accordance with one of three different scenarios. In order of most to least likely they are:
1) The suspect carjacks the victim, either while she is stopped in her vehicle or while walking to where it is parked. He then takes her purse and intimidates her into giving him her PIN code. Next, he drives up to the ATM machine to make a withdrawal. Some time later, the victim attempts to escape from the vehicle when it either slows to make a turn or stops at a stop sign. The suspect then shoots her repeatedly to prevent her from escaping and calling the police. The suspect then parks the vehicle in a convenient location before fleeing the area.
I tend to believe that the victim was most likely shot while attempting to escape based on a consideration of the way the body was reportedly discovered. The victim was found lying in the grass at an intersection, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. There was considerable blood near the body, as well as a smaller amount of blood on the other side of the road. This is consistent with the victim having been initially shot on the apposite side of the road from where the body was found and then fleeing across the street before succumbing to her wounds.
The fact that there were multiple gunshot wounds also tends to support the escape theory. If the victim were merely executed, there would be no need for more than a single gunshot to the head. The fact that there were multiple wounds tends to indicate that the victim was shot at other than point blank range.
2) There is also the possibility that the victim died early in the encounter. The suspect in this case, when initially attempting to carjack the victim, immediately shoots and kills her, driving off in her SUV. Rumaging through victim’s purse, he finds the ATM card and pieces of identification that reveal her birthdate. Assuming her PIN code to be her birthdate, the suspect then drives to the ATM to attempt a withdrawal. A short time later he parks the stolen SUV on the street and makes good his escape.
The victim might have attempted to escape immediately, prompting the suspect to shoot her. Alternately, the suspect might have deliberately shot the victim straightaway, never intending to let her live even a short while. In either case, this scenario presupposes the suspect was willing to drive around for a time in the victim’s car and attempt an ATM transaction after she’s been killed — a very risky thing, indeed.
3) In another variant, the suspect, rather than carjacking the victim off the street, instead abducts her during a home invasion. The victim might have unsupectingly answered the doorbell, thus leaving no sign of forced entry. At gunpoint, the suspect then steals her purse and kidnaps her, using the victim’s own car. From this point, this scenario follows that outlined in scenario 1, with the victim most likely shot and killed while attempting to escape.
Well, you are correct that this is a situation of one human being killing another human being .
But when you put pictures of the judicially convicted killers along with their victims . It very soon becomes quite apparent that there is a problem
within our society and it is very obvious that without the Black community beginning to take this matter into their own hands it will continue on and on .
It seems that the self community action is the best way to go, as without their community silence these young men and women would have support from either side and this may just be one answer .
Where did I get this idea you may wonder ?
I have a friend from Nigeria and in his hometown they do this as a community and their crime rate has dropped dramatically since it was instituted . Might just be a good idea with both sides helping for the good of all .
Just an interesting idea that I think would be worth looking at as a possible remedy .
and BTW this does go for all sides of this issue . JMPO
everyones entitled to their opinion.. that will never change..im 100% mexican… when i see other races kill someone from my race.. i never take offense.. you do the crime. you do the time.. WHATEVER COLOR U ARE..its a race thing.. so lets put the race card back under the deck.. where it belongs
WTF! Why are some of you trying to turn this tragedy into a racist issue. SM has followed the stories of these two college coeds prior to knowing the race of their killer and even if the suspect had been a blue alien from outer space, they would have posted what police have revealed so far.
I’m really starting to wonder if I want to post at this site any more after the response here and some others in other threads.
I MEANT TO SAY
IT’S NOT A RACE THING.. SO PLEASE LET’S NOT SPEND GOOD ENERGY ARGUING…
#5 Steve..I have been going through all the same scenarios but there is one more…he could have absolutely no sense about an ATM and how one is used. Dunno but I really want him to be caught and SOON.
JAYQUAN
I just had a thought.. you thinking that IT’S A RACE THING!!
There are black police officers .. detectives.. judges.. they dont look at people as being targeted for their race.. if they commit a haneous or any crime.. they are there to do their job.. and bring to justice the criminal..why do you always have to say.. if it was a white killing a black.. it would be different.. you realize how stupid and inmature that sounds.. you would never make it as a police officer .. judge or any form of criminal justice.. with your farakan mentality.. sorry…
LAQUAN PAQUAN WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS.. LEAVE RACE OUT OF IT
WE HAVE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE STYSTEM BLACKS.. WHO PROSECUTE BLACKS AND ALL OTHER RACES.. WE HAVE BLACK OFFICERS THAT ARREST BLACK CRIMINALS AND ALL OTHER RACES.. WE HAVE BLACK LAWYERS..WE HAVE BLACK JUDGES.. DOES THAT MAKE THEM RACIST IF YOU FEEL THEY ARE SENDING BLACKS TO PRISON..THEY ARE THERE TO DO THEIR JOBS AS THEY WERE SWORN IN TO DO.. THEY PROSECUTE ALL RACES… IT JUST SO HAPPENDS THAT THIS TIME IT WAS A BLACK MAN KILLING A WHITE WOMAN..
WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST THEY DO.. LET HIM GO.. YOU COMMIT A CRIME YOU DO THE TIME… I DONT CARE WHAT COLOR YOU ARE…THE LAW IS THE LAW…
LET GO OF THAT MENTALITY … ITS NOT SERVING YOU ANY PURPOSE…DONT WASTE GOOD ENERGY ON BITTERNESS… LET GO…
DONT LET BITTERNESS EAT YOU.. IF YOU COMMIT A CRIME YOU DO THE TIME
WE HAVE BLACK LAWYERS .. JUDGES.. POLICE.. THEY DONT LOOK AT IT LIKE WERE PICKING ON BLACKS. IM 100% MEXICAN AND LET ME TELL YOU.. IVE SEEN MANY OF MY RACE SENT TO PRISON FOR CRIMES THAT WERE BOTH HANEOUS AND UNNECESSARY.. I DONT CARE WHAT RACE THEY ARE.. YOU MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR MISTAKES…
Hang Em or lethal injection quickly, better yet shot to the head. If you don’t have the stomach for it I can do it. Why put him in prison he will never be able to contribute to society.
For sure, when he is caught (and he will be caught), he has a lot of explaining to do. A carjacker who shot an carjacking victim. Hence the multiple wounds, as SteveDinMD mentioned.
This clown is no genius. Why didn’t he just smile for the camera?
Of course, after he is caught, what will be the leniency he is afforded? Please don’t tell me he will endure the harshest of punishments for taking a valuable and contributing human life. That shit just doesn’t happen here. What he will be afforded are three hots and a cot. While the family of this victim will be afforded a bill, by the mortuary.
I always wonder when I read about these crimes, about how different the outcome would have been if the ‘victim’ were armed. I remember the news report I heard years ago about an attempted carjacking in New Orleans. The driver fired his concealed handgun at his would-be carjacker. The cops followed the blood trail, to the carjacker’s mother’s house, where he subsequently died of a gunshot would to the stomach on his mother’s sofa in the living room.. That, my fellow Monkey’s, is what is known as a happy ending.
From the murder of the female members of the Petit family in Conneticut, or the gang rape and eventual murder of Channon Christian and her boyfriend, to the murder of Eve Carson . . . how differently would these crimes have turned out, had the victims been armed themselves?
people like myself that are armed, are safer.
and thats the bottom line. you come to rob my house, i got a little surprise for you.
my advise, dont come to my house looking to steal something. cause its going to be over real quick.
if the dog doesnt get you, the owner will.
pistol packing !!
shotgun packing !!
30.30 packing !!
need i say more
when they attempt to take all the guns away then the only ones having them will be the bad guys
not a good plan
joran and Natalee were NEVER on the beach.
unless you want to call the sloot pool area with a bucket of sand a beach…well
i think you get the idea.
sloots are killers
sloots are killers
sloots are killers
sloots are killers
sloots are killers
it kind of looks like someone is in the back seat
23. I thought the same thing, maybe not just one guy.
1. Why is SM racist for stating facts given by the police? The fact is that guy in the picture is black. If he was white and as always, the cops id would be a white man, would you also be upset?
There’s more than enough murder out there, so let’s not inject extraneous issues. It’s a horror and a tragedy. Incidentally, #1, my understanding is that most black crime is directed against blacks. This doesn’t get much publicity, but that’s what I understand is true.
I note that she was a pre-med student. No need to point out that Natalee would have been one.
miss-underestimated
I dont get it either.. who ever commited the crime .. regardless of color .. information would be given on them … but people have to come here and play the race card.. they need to put that card back on the deck.. I’m 100% mexican..
know how many mexicans commit crimes..
I feel like if you do the crime you do the time.. regardless of race…
this is not about race.. it was about a girl with a full life ahead of her that was murdered.. for no just reason.. its about a family that has lost a daughter.. a family that is mouring her..
I say put him in the chair and let sparky … fry him… he gave her no mercy .. he deserves none…
what’s wrong with these punk arse idiot.. why dont they just go get a job. instead they have to steal what does not belong to them..
thugs.. get a job.. get a life…
nurtuer
how right you are.. to bad it has to come to that.. but reality is that were living in a cruel world. a world where thugs rob and kill .. whats wrong with working for what you want. go get yourself a productive job.. instead they take what isnt theres.. well in my opinion prison is to good for these thugs…
thugs have no concious .. they have no remorse..
let me say this to you punk ass thugs defending other thugs here..
you live by the sword
you die by the sword
your time will come..
with your life style.
your life expectancy is shorter
and that would take another punk off the streets..
you can take someones life.. than later apologize in court for leniency.. you cant give a persons life back.. so rot in prison.. say hello to big bubba idiots
Do you think the Aruban detectives have any photos of Paulus at the ATM at 4:00am???
Conveniently lost?
Amazing how our crime people can quickly get to the bottom of a case and in Aruba they don’t know what the heck they are doing.

One thing I don’t understand … and it’s not very important … why is it that only college girls are called “coeds”? The word means co-educational … for both sexes … but you never see, e.g., “Coed Bill Barkley, football player.”
It’s used exclusively for girls. Anybody know?
WOLF HUNTERS said: “it kind of looks like someone is in the back seat.”
SteveDinMD: Actually, looking again at the photo, there DOES appear to be a dark blob directly behind the driver’s seat. It’s difficult to tell, but it COULD be that someone was in the back seat. If so, it could very well have been the victim. Alternately, I suppose it could have been an accomplice. Yet another possibility, assuming the victim was still alive at the time of the ATM transaction (which I consider most likely), is that it could have been an accomplice who was at the time restraining the victim. This last possibility, I think, deserves some serious consideration since it’s difficult to imagine the victim remaining quietly seated behind the suspect unless she was somehow restrained, either tied up or under the control of an accomplice. If I were seated behind my kidnapper with my hands free, my first reflex would be to reach around and crush his trachea. Then, again, the suspect’s bulky jacket and headgear might have made that difficult.
Assuming that it WAS the victim sitting, unrestrained, immediately behind the suspect in the ATM photo, and further assuming that she was later shot while attempting to escape, begs the question, “Why did she not attempt to escape earlier than she did, especially when the suspect’s hands were occupied during the ATM transaction?” I have a theory. It might have been that the victim was quietly going along with her kidnapper’s demands in the hope of surviving the ordeal unscathed. At some point after the ATM transaction, however, it suddenly occurred to her that compliance was not to her advantage. What changed her mind? One obvious scenario is rape. It might have been that the victim was perfectly compliant up to the time of the ATM transaction and beyond. At some point afterward, though, the suspect’s intentions might have turned to rape, which the victim was absolutely unwilling to go along with. It might well have been the prospect of imminent rape that inspired the victim to flee and the suspect to shoot her.
there is something in the back seat. it looks like a dark colored jacket that someone is wearing. wonder what the victim was wearing IF she was not wearing a dark jacket then we have a HELPER… let me pull the switch. wont bother me one bit. wont bother me one bit.
he is also wearing a ring on his right hand
looks like the helper’s forehead is behind the headrest behind the driver
i just had lasik surgery, 20-15 vision
if that blob in the back seat is the victim..
why would he be stupid enough to drive thru an atm machine … knowing they have cameras…or has he done this before…what a clown..
FYI
last night on americas most wanted
there was a feature on brianna dennison.. the under wear are showed in hopes someone would recognize..
by inverting the colors. it is clear as day that there is something in the backseat. HELPER is my guess
that blob looks way to big to be a female to me.
yep, i agree too big for a female or at least the female victim
#29
Sure they have!
“Lost”?, of course!
What they are doing?
COVER UP COVER UP COVER UP COVER UP COVER UP

We have a saying
“Where there is a will, there is a way”
Aruba: NO way! Because No will!
They DON’T WANT!!!!! do anything.
Arrest the old Sloot (paulussluut and his Anita too), he will sing, then the rest will follow…
He is a weak wimp!
Minky from CH
I always did say that if they arrested pauulus… jurine would sing like a bird..
this isnt over till the fat lady sings
and i aint singing…
maybe the fat lady anita will sing .. than its realy over………
is it just me or does that look like the emblem on a carl’s jr. hat? more like a face on that star.
txchic
I put a magnifying glass .. on the picture and it seems similar to a carl’s jr star
big possibility..
what a geek looking idiot he is
thanks misskatie!!!
that kept bothering me. looked like a little face on the star. they have to have some good leads on this jerk… along with the shadow in the back seat.
txchic
welcome . i got nosey and put a magnifying glass to the screen
they need to fry him like bacon.. i think ol sparky needs to come back.. better than lethal
when it was bundys turn to fry .. he was shaking like a coward.. they had to carry him to l sparky… he got what he deserved.. now its these idiots turn…
How about looking at high school annuals in the area for the past 5 yrs or so and see if the guy in the photo can be matched up.
Just a chance, but I am willing to bet there are many willing to give their time to look. I would also be willing to bet that those would include – whites, blacks, hispanics, and all other ethnic orgins which attend UNC, Duke.
This is a community problem people, not a racial one.
Rest in Peace Eve.
To me, whose vision is not as acute as those of some others here, it looks as though the object in the back is wrapped up in the blanket.
Could that perhaps have been the girl, bound and gagged? It would make sense that he (assuming that the guy caught in this film is the perpetrator, which may or may not be the case) promised to let her go in exchange for her ATM card. He could have said that he would bring her along to make sure that she had given him the right ATM code number … meanwhile, she might have believed that he would let her go.
Thanks for pointing this out about the object in the back … I wouldn’t have seen it on my own.
It looks to me as though this photo was taken late at night or early in the morning, when nobody would be at the ATM.
Richard, yes it does appear as though something could be wrapped in a blanket.absolutely
when looking at the picture of the suspect
what is that sticking out from his hat on the LEFT side of the picture. it would be the suspects right side.. is that his hair ???
___________________
SM: I noticed that too and I think it is his hair. I think he has a “fro” tucked in under that hat. (klaasend)
klass, thanks – same thing i was thinking but wasnt sure. makes sense, that is a big bunch of hair
should help in the Identification of the suspect unless it is a WIG which i do not think it is..
That is a big bushy afro sticking out of the left side of his hat. With hair like that he should be pretty easy to identify, unless he cuts it off of course.
I don’t think it matters what color this heartless POS is, it is how low he is willing to go. Shooting another human being in cold blood goes well below amieba in my opinion. I think he himself has lost all rights to being considered a Human Being (if of course he is the guilty party). In order for someone to be human there has to be a heart and soul, this creep is absent of both.
#41, Yes!
Not only Joran, but also the weakest link in the chaine and he would sing in all the tones of the scale:
Paulus van der Sloot!
I’m convinced, he would sweat buckets…….
The Problem:
ARUBA does not do anything!
Why?
To many “higher-ups” involved.
(hurting innocent ppl??????)
Aruba: Arrest the 3 Sloots and the Kalpoes !!!
IMO
Yeah, it sure does look like someone’s in the back seat. The “blob” in the back looks bigger then it really is giving it the appearance of someone under a blanket. The reason the ‘blob’ looks big is because the Toyota Highlander has tinted back windows. If you look at the first picture and cover up what little is showing of the back window behind the driver’s seat, the dark image in the back looks more like an accomplice wearing a dark jacket and dark cap.
If it’s the accomplice, the only reason he’d be in the back seat is because he has Eve sitting next to him in the seat directly behind the driver. The accomplice might have her held down to keep her from being spotted, or, she’s sitting up but the driver seat and camera angle is blocking her from view. The second picture shows the reflection of the ATM in the tinted back seat window. They’re going to catch these guys!!
I believe too lotte that they will get caught.. how stupid.these idiots are dont they know banks have cameras . someone will come foward to identify him or them.. all it takes is one phone call with the fools name.. and bingo.. sadly the poor girls life is gone.. for a senseless stupid crime. god knows how much money they got from her bank.. im sure the police will disclose the info when he is aprehended..

(Excuse my poor grammar)
SteveDinMD excellent explanation. I can rule out it wasn’t a home invasion because she had her shoes on and it was so early in the morning. She was killed at 5am so that must have meant the killers were at her house around 4am. Nobody opens the door at 4am without red flags. Breaking in also seems unlikely because criminals who break into homes most of the time aren’t concern with the victim. If the victim remains asleep it works for them. The last thing is she was wearing shoes. I assume it would have been very difficult for Eve to put her shoes on because of her fear of being held at gunpoint. They would taken her barefooted.
I believe what happen was that she left her house to maybe run an errand at her office at UNC. While on her way to the campus she made a stop at a 24 hour retail store maybe for breakfast. I feel the killers notice her going into the store and waited for their opportunity when she returned. When she was about to open her door she was held up and told not to scream or she would be shot. Since it was around 4am there were no witnesses. I feel they shoved her to the passenger side and drove off. I feel the second killer was in the back seat hold held her at gunpoint while the other one drove. I believe they were possibly planning to rape her and was looking for a dark isolated area. I heard many women say they’ll rather die than be raped. I assume Eve felt she was about to be rape and once they stopped she took her chances. The scream that was heard on the 911 tape I’m sure was one of the killers grabbing her as she tried to escape. She got away a short distance but she was shot multiple times by the killer in the backseat. He then left the truck to “Finish her off” in the right temple and quickly jump back in the truck. What I imagine is Eve gave them the pin while they were looking to possibly rape her. That’s how I feel what happen.
