Twenty years ago, a cold case of 20 years ago resurfaced as the teen Farrah Carter’s brutal murder finally gets solved. Joseph Pollard murdered Farrah Carter.
Authorities in Florida have been apprehending a suspect in the stabbing death of a 15-year-old girl in 2002, who was discovered dead by her mother and sisters.
Farrah Carter was murdered in her Miramar home, which showed no signs of forced entry.

Carter fought back, but she was stabbed numerous times and died as a result of her injuries, according to WPLG.
Carter’s mother and sister returned home to find a bloody scene in her bedroom, as well as the teen’s disfigured body.
The condition was so horrific because even for Carter’s funeral service, funeral staff reportedly wrapped something around her neck, apparently to cover the horrific nature of her injuries.
