Last we checked in with NY1 anchor Dominic Carter, dude just couldn’t catch a break, having the misfortune to bump into the bitchiest flight attendant in the airline industry in the course of attempting to get away from it all in lovely Kansas City, Missouri. Unfortunately for the alleged serial wife-beater, things didn’t get any better when he and his wife finally reached their destination.

The New York Post reported today that Carter’s life became even more unraveled in KC than it had been previously in NYC, if that’s even possible, culminating in his wife’s disappearance. Local police were able to track her down at the local airport where she was waiting to board a flight back to New York after leaving all of things in the hotel that she and Carter had been staying at.

“She stated that she was fine and she just wanted to get back to New York,” Kansas City Police Officer Darin Snapp said yesterday.

Dominic had been scheduled to give a “motivational speech” at an NAACP dinner Saturday night, but canceled because “he wasn’t feeling well” after landing, Snapp said.

The next day, around 10:50 p.m., cops rushed over to the Marriott when a person claiming to be a Carter relative called the hotel and said “they are concerned that Dominic is going to commit suicide,” Snapp said.

Cops found Carter — checked in under the name Charles Brown — alone in his room.

Around 11:30 p.m., with officers still at the hotel, the couple’s daughter, Courtney, 21, called them from New York to relay an earlier phone call with Marilyn in which “things didn’t seem right. Her mother seemed like she might have been under some type of duress,” Snapp said.

Sadly for Carter’s apparently eroding psyche, last night’s mayoral election was the type of once-every-four-year event he lives for, yet he was noticeably absent from the air. Let this be a lesson to all the kids out there: domestic violence does not pay! But seriously, I just don’t foresee any possible scenario in which this ends well for anyone.
