On the morning of September 23, 2000, two walkers found the body of 20-year-old African-American Keke Jefferson-Moore at Wirth Lake in Golden Valley, Minnesota. What began as a possible drowning was changed by autopsy findings: investigators say Keke had been murdered and was killed at another location before her body was left by the lake. The exact cause of death has not been publicly disclosed.

Keke enjoyed photography and writing and planned to study journalism in college. She worked as a telemarketer, had recently become an aunt, and is remembered by her family as happy, fun, loving, and someone who stood up for what was right. A 24-year-old man who knew Keke was arrested early in the probe on suspicion of homicide, questioned, and released; no charges were filed. Police said others had not been ruled out, no additional suspects have been identified publicly, and links to other area homicides were considered then ruled out. The Golden Valley Police Department, with assistance from other agencies including the FBI, continues periodic reviews and witness re-interviews.

If anyone knew Keke, her movements that September, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
