The Northampton County Sheriff’s Office says it will explore information released in a report broadcast on WRAL Thursday that allegedly ties the murder of Crystal Bell to a Halifax County man.

(Editor’s note: rrspin.com in December requested information and assistance from the private detective quoted in the WRAL story about this case and received no response back, only within the last week and only to tell us the broadcast was set to air Thursday.)

That report, through inspection of public records, allegedly ties Dennis Carter of Enfield to not only Bell’s murder but also that of a Warren County woman and her son.

“We’re looking into everything that comes in,” said Captain Brenda Burnette of the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office. “We want to make sure everything is right. Any leads that come in we look into them.”

The report alleges Carter profited from multiple deaths and suspicious fires across the state in past eight years.

That includes a fire that occurred almost two years ago in Halifax County.
