Uncanny coincidences let man's death go unnoticed for years

Everyone tells me they liked David Carter, and they wished him well when he announced he was heading out to New Mexico to live and work.

Except he never went. Carter left a couple notes at his West Allis home, and then he shot himself in the head on the second-floor landing.

The best estimate is that his suicide happened in late 2007. That’s when he quit his job. That’s when he wrote his last check. That’s when he talked of moving away.

And that’s when he disappeared, not quite in plain sight but right there in his longtime home.

His body was not discovered until January. I don’t mean 2008 or 2009 or 2010 or 2011. He was found last month. This year.
