It should also be noted that during the Christmas visit Debbie complained to her mother that a larger boy at school was touching her. After November, 1986, however, there were only two occasions when Carson could have been involved: a two-to-three day period when she had the children during Christmas, 1986, and a few days when she had the children during the Easter holidays, 1987. At the time she was financially unable to provide for them.Īpproximately a month later, Julie was placed in night-time foster care with Ramona Roper of Natchez, who at the time was single.Īfter a period of time Debbie and Jason, especially Debbie, were observed exhibiting overtly sexual behavior. On July 30, 1986, following a consultation the previous day with the Natchez Children's Home (the Home), an unlicensed facility, Carson delivered her three children to the Home for temporary custody. The record does not reveal the formal education of Carson, but it was apparently quite limited. In 1989 she became attached to another man, Ned Clark, in Adams County, and was living with him during that year. For a while during her marriage to Bobby Carson, she lived in Texas, and also helped him look after his children from a previous marriage. She divorced Bobby Carson in December, 1988. She started going with Bobby Carson in July, 1986, and married him January 21, 1987. Following her separation from Bell, she returned to Adams County. She moved with Bell to Virginia, and separated from him following his stabbing himself in the presence of the children in an effort to avoid being transferred to Panama. To this union her last child, Julie Bell, was born January 3, 1985. She married Mark Bell December 12, 1983, who was in the military service. When she went to get a divorce from Davis, she learned there was no record of her marriage to him. She stayed with Davis until January, 1983, and then returned to Adams County where her parents then lived. Carson testified Davis was loving with the children, but a heavy drinker who was always broke. Carson had two children, Debbie Lynn Davis, born May 27, 1981, and Jason Davis, born July 11, 1982. She divorced Ellis in 1982, and went through a marriage ceremony in Boston with Will Davis.
He would beat her, and then have sex with her.
In 1978, when she was seventeen, she married Sam Ellis in Boston. When fifteen years of age, she was raped by a stranger. When she informed her parents, she was given a cot in the kitchen to sleep on. The three able-bodied brothers sexually abused her. He rebuffed any effort at affection toward him, and beat her. She described her mother as a quiet, submissive and long suffering wife, her father as cold, domineering and physically brutal. She had four brothers, one of whom was handicapped.
