Victoria Moore was 29 when she disappeared from Grand Rapids, Michigan, on August 1, 1996. She was last seen along South Division Avenue near Logan Street, an area known for sex work. Months earlier, in December 1995, she had witnessed the brutal beating death of another woman tied to a drug-related debt and had been summoned to testify in court in August 1996 — but she never made it to the witness stand.

On October 27, 1996, a squirrel hunter found Moore’s body northeast of Kent City near Sparta Avenue on 20 Mile Road. Investigators considered whether her murder was meant to silence her testimony, but her death also became linked to a broader cluster of at least 17 unsolved cases of missing and murdered women in mid-1990s Grand Rapids, many involved in sex work, prompting fears of a serial predator. No arrests or suspects have been publicly named and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Victoria, saw her on August 1, 1996, or has information about those mid-1990s cases, please come forward.
