In a shocking turn of events in the murder trial of Kirby Carpenter, testimony emerged from the accused killer’s daughter, revealing a startling confession made by her father regarding the crime. During a recent court proceeding, she recounted a conversation with her father that took place in December 2022, after Carpenter’s body was discovered. The daughter testified that her father, who is charged with the murder, admitted to bringing a package to Mississippi containing drugs, which he suggested was linked to Carpenter’s death.
The daughter described a “waterfall conversation” with her father, during which he implied that the package he had left under a five-gallon bucket was intended for Carpenter. According to her testimony, her father suggested that those who killed Carpenter were the same individuals he believed would seek out the package. He expressed confidence that investigators would apprehend these drug dealers, whom he suspected were responsible for Carpenter’s murder.
Initially, the daughter found her father’s actions unusual, as he had claimed to have returned from Saltville, Virginia, to deliver the package. She probed further, asking why her father was involved in bringing pills back to Carpenter, only to receive a curt response that it was “none of my business.” This exchange marked the beginning of a strained relationship, as the daughter noted that her father’s demeanor had shifted to one of aggression, a side of him she had never seen before.
In a subsequent conversation between April and June 2023, the daughter sought clarity about her father’s involvement in Carpenter’s murder. During a walk at a local waterfall—a site they frequented—she confronted him directly, asking if he had anything to do with Carpenter’s death. Her father reacted angrily, insisting that her focus should solely be on her child, Anola. He ominously stated that he had done what he “had to do” for Anola’s safety and suggested that it was better for her not to know the truth.
The daughter interpreted her father’s remarks as a confession to the murder. “He was confessing to me that he had killed Kirby,” she stated, emphasizing the weight of his words. Furthermore, he warned her to keep this information to herself, threatening that revealing it could cost her custody of Anola.
Adding to the complexity of the case, the daughter recalled a past conversation from November 2021, where her father had jokingly suggested she could start a business called “Assassin’s Inc.” This flippant comment now takes on an unsettling significance, given the gravity of the current allegations against him.
As the trial unfolds, the daughter’s testimony raises critical questions about the nature of her father’s relationship with Carpenter and the events leading up to the murder. With the accused sitting in the courtroom, the tension surrounding the case continues to escalate, leaving both the jury and the public eager for further developments. The chilling account of a daughter grappling with her father’s dark secrets serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and tragedies that often lie within family dynamics.
