Tyler Levi Carter, a 29-year-old man from West Virginia, faces a murder charge after prosecutors accused him of failing to help an 11-year-old relative who starved and died from neglect in his home. Authorities say Carter, described as the girl's 'psychological brother,' knew of her dire conditions but did not intervene. The child's father and stepmother were charged earlier this year in connection with the same case.
