Melody Nicole Conger was 20 when she was shot to death on May 13, 2011, in Sylva, North Carolina. Born November 11, 1991, in Gainesville, Florida, she was the daughter of William Albert and Mickey Lorraine Conger, married to Matthew Wayne Moore, and the mother of a four-month-old daughter, Arianna Nicole Moore.

On the day of her death Melody had obtained a domestic violence protection order against her estranged husband. Despite that order, Matthew Wayne Moore, 25, confronted Melody and another man, Kevin Shawn Frady, at a mobile home in Sylva. Both Melody and Kevin were shot to death; the infant daughter was found unharmed outside the mobile home. Moore fled but surrendered hours later to police in Easley, South Carolina.

Moore was charged with two counts of first-degree murder; he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Did anyone in the Sylva area have information about Melody’s movements or the couple’s situation before May 13, 2011?
