Shawn Marie O´Neal The first murder Moore is known to have committed was of 23-year-old Shawn Marie Neal, an escort who lived in
Leland, North Carolina. On June 2, 1996, her dead body was found strangled and hanged in a
condominium in
North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Neal's fiancé had reported her missing after she failed to return home from going to meet a man named Don Gibson. Police later determined the name was an alias. Neal left behind a 4-year-old daughter, her mother, and her fiancé. The murder became a
cold case and went unsolved for nearly twenty-four years. In 2017, the case was reopened and a new investigation was launched. In 2019, new
DNA testing was conducted on a bedspread and some towels that had been found at the crime scene. The DNA obtained matched Moore's and the case was officially closed in February 2020, with Moore confirmed as Neal's killer. Authorities believe Moore had been passing through
South Carolina while on his way to
Louisiana and was running from the law. Moore had no ties to Neal and police believe the killing was random.
Annelise Hyang Suk Lee The second known victim of Moore's was 27-year-old Annelise Hyang Suk Lee, a
Korean-American woman who was murdered in 1999 in
Maryland. Lee was last seen alive on December 10, 1999, in a parking lot outside her apartment after she was dropped off at home by her employer. Lee's employer grew concerned when she did not show up for work or answer her phone and she was reported missing to the police. On December 13, 1999, Lee's body was found in her
Owings Mills, Maryland apartment by a maintenance worker. An autopsy determined that she had died of blunt force trauma and strangulation. The murder went unsolved for nearly fourteen years. In March 2013, several pieces of evidence were re-examined and a DNA profile was developed. The profile was found to match Moore and he was confirmed as Lee's killer. ==Fugitive==
