‘We know who had done it … now the world knows’: Mother of murder victim ‘hollering’ after son’s alleged killers — his girlfriend and her parents — arrested

One year after a Mississippi man’s shocking murder, his one-time girlfriend and her parents are arrested and charged in his death.

37-year-old Caitlin Spence now faces capital murder charges in the death of 36-year-old Kirby Carpenter, who was shot to death in Tippah County, Mississippi, on Nov. 30, 2022.

Spence’s arrest came exactly one year later, on Nov. 30, 2023, in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. Her parents, Karen and Jeffery Spence, were also arrested in Virginia.
