Roy was wearing a blue T-shirt, shorts and sunglasses, during the time of the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Text messages, such as this, are absurdly difficult to bypass. Carter\u2019s words speak just as loudly as her actions. We cannot say someone did or did not say or do anything, but her words are in black in white, but then again, without physical proof\/evidence, Carter is innocent till proven guilty.<\/p>\n<p>According to Carter, &#8220;He seemed fine,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Roy, Conrad\u2019s mother, said she exchanged messages with Carter following her son\u2019s death and mentioned that Carter said she had not been in touch with Conrad on the day of his death. Officials need to investigate Carter\u2019s alibi and focus on the primary concerns of where Carter was during the time of Roy\u2019s death, who she spoke with on the day of his death. The alibis of the affiliates of who Carter was with also need to be investigated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By NEYDJA PETITHOMME After the life-ending tragedy of Conrad Roy III in July 2014, who inhaled carbon monoxide in his pickup truck, Samantha Boardman, friend, said she received a gruesome text message from Roy\u2019s girlfriend.
