Aaron Carter’s mother, Jane Schneck, insists her son was murdered after his body was found in a bathtub at his home in Lancaster, California on November 5.
The 34-year-old’s cause of death has not yet been determined by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner coroner. The case has been shelved pending further investigation. However, his mother has accused authorities of dismissing her suspicions about Carter’s drug abuse history.
Schneck took to Facebook to share her thoughts on what happened to her son, posting that she wanted a “proper investigation.”
Schneck also shared photos from the bathroom Carter was found in, including the dirty green water in the bathtub. Other images showed towels and clothing lying on the floor and what appeared to be feces on the floor.
“I just did an interview with TMZ. I am not retiring. A mother always fights for her young. I will do the same for Nick. I just want a proper investigation,” Schneck wrote in a Facebook post.
“Yes, he had a lot of problems, but he never intended to die like that! The tub was still full. No sign that he was even there! No water on the floor. Also Betty, the housekeeper, is Mia (missing). “
In a second Facebook post, she wrote: “Don’t be afraid of anyone. I just want the truth Too many things that don’t add up.
“I know [tabloid news organization] TMZ I will say that I just will not accept that Aaron did what he did, but I will say that even if he did, someone had a plan to use their addiction to eliminate him. That’s no excuse for murder,” Schneck added.
In other Facebook posts, Schneck wrote that the police didn’t take Carter’s death seriously and even allowed people to “trudge” through the house and possibly destroy evidence.
Police found cans of compressed air and prescription pills in Carter’s bedroom and bathroom.
“They never investigated it as a possible crime scene because of its history of addiction,” Schneck wrote on Facebook.
“Look at the photos. They weren’t taken by the police. But they let people in and out.”
Carter’s older brother and Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter blamed “addiction and mental illness” as the “true villain” after his death.
Aaron’s former fiancee Melanie Martin, with whom he shared a 16-month-old son Prince, backed Schneck’s claims of possible murder. she said TMZ that Carter was “threatened” by a drug dealer the night he died.
Martin said she found text messages on his cell phone from someone saying Carter owed $800 for an unknown substance.

He has toured as the opening act for the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, and also starred in the 2006 E! reality series House of the carters with his siblings Nick, Bobbie Jean (BJ), Leslie and Angel.
Carter had spoken out about his addiction to prescription drugs. He even predicted his death during a September 2019 appearance on the talk show The doctors, He said his greatest fear was dying young.
