On January 6, 1978, police in Montpelier, Blackford County, Indiana, discovered Bruce and Margaret Moser dead in their mobile home; investigators believe they were killed about two days earlier. Bruce, 20, was found on the bedroom floor with his hands tied behind his back and a gunshot wound to the head. Margaret, 22, had been tied to the bed, sexually assaulted, and shot multiple times in the head. Their 17-month-old daughter was alive in the home, dehydrated after being alone with her parents for two days.

Investigators determined the weapon used was Bruce Moser’s rifle. Early lines of inquiry included men arrested in an unrelated murder that Bruce had witnessed; two of those men were interviewed and gave alibis. Truck driver Robert Leslie, whose route passed the Mosers’ home and who had stopped there once to use their phone, was also treated as a significant person of interest. Leslie later died by suicide and reportedly denied involvement to his sister, but he was never definitively linked to the killings.

The double homicide remains unsolved. If anyone knew the Mosers, their comings and goings, or saw a trucker in the area around early January 1978, please share what was seen or remembered.
