Disclaimer: This article is a compilation of research that I did online about an abducted child. Some parts may make you uncomfortable and disturb you. This was written with the intent of getting this child's story out in the world and warn others of the horrible truths that happen in our world.
Nima Louise Carter was born on March 23, 1976, in Lawton, Oklahoma to George and Rose Carter. Nima was considered a quiet and smart child by her father. However, when it was time to go to sleep, she was known for being fussy and crying a lot. Nima's parents chose not to go get her when she would cry but would let her get tired and fall asleep herself. This soon became something they would regret for the rest of their lives.
On Halloween in 1977, Nima's parents put her to bed and as usual, she was quite fussy. They put her to bed and returned to their own bedroom while Nima continued to cry. Her parents refrained from going to soothe her as they did every night and, eventually, were able to go to sleep.
November 1, 1977, Nima's mother woke up and went in to check on her. Nima was not in her bed and her mother, Rose, went to her husband immediately. They searched the house and concluded that she was not there. The police were called, and nothing made sense. Nima's bedroom windows were locked shut and there was no sign of forced entry.
Nima's parents spent an entire month awaiting their daughters' fate. A group of kids was playing in an abandoned house four houses down from the Carter's home. In the house was a refrigerator that was opened by one of the unsuspecting children and what tumbled out was the decomposing body of Nima Louise Carter.
They had no suspects right away, however, someone started to peak the cop's interests. Jackie Roubideaux was a neighborhood babysitter. She was a frequent babysitter for the Carter's when Nima's parents were busy with work or needed some downtime.
A year before Nima's murder, in 1976, Jackie was suspected of taking two twin girls and locking them in a refrigerator. One of the girls died throughout the night while the other was able to yell loud enough for a group of kids to find them. Although she was suspected of having something to do with it, she was not arrested allowed to roam free.
The Carter's never suspecting anything wrong with Jackie, even when the family dog was poisoned, and their house vandalized. This happened two months before Nima went missing. The police began to seriously look into Jackie as the only possible suspect since she had a connection with a little girl's murder just a year before. Even though she had a connection with both cases, Jackie was not charged for Nima's death.
Jackie never stood trial for Nima's death, however, the surviving twin of her 1976 kidnapping took the stand as a key witness. The first trial resulted in a mistrial and the second put Jackie Roubideaux behind bars for life. Before Jackie could be brought back in for Nima's murder, she died in her prison cell.
