Carner attempted multiple kidnappings, fatally shooting Sharrel Blankenbaker in the process. He finally forced an 11-year-old into his white truck and sexually assaulted her as he drove away. Deputies K.C. Simpson and Steven White saw the girl, nude, jump or fall out of the truck as it turned on to Jim Line. Deputy White, standing in the road, shot at Carner four times, striking him once in the chest and killing him. The 11-year old survived. Carner, normally law-abiding, drank heavily before the kidnapping and was using pain medication.
