Michael Wayne Moon was 59 when he was found unresponsive at his residence on Long Ridge Road in Pinetown, North Carolina, on August 21, 2013, and later died of a gunshot wound to the head. Deputies who responded to an emergency call discovered him at the home he shared with his girlfriend.

Dee Trent Reifinger, 54, Moon’s girlfriend and a resident at the same address, was identified by the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office as the suspect in a domestic incident and was charged with his murder. She was taken into custody, held on a $500,000 secured bond, and later released after the bond was secured by a bail bondsman. A grand jury indicted Reifinger on an open count of murder covering first- and second-degree murder and manslaughter; prosecutors and defense reviewed evidence and a Rule 24 hearing addressed whether the state would seek the death penalty.

If anyone knew Michael, his routines, or what happened at the Long Ridge Road residence, please share information that could help clarify this case.
