Disappearance and Murder
Moore had left her home on April 24 at approximately 7:30 p.m. to see a friend and later left around 9:00 p.m. to eat at a Burger King restaurant at Church and Remsen avenues. There had been no further mention of Moore since then until her body was found, a few blocks from her home. Her mother, Ellie Carmichael, had received an anonymous phone call, informing her to go to a certain address on King's Highway where a home had experienced a fire. The caller has not been identified. The mother then contacted police and officers from the 67th Precinct and Emergency Service Units searched the premises until Moore's body was discovered, wrapped in a blanket. It was determined that Moore had been beaten to death about her head and chest.

And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.”
