On April 18, 2026, 32-year-old Liberty Ann Moore, known as Libby, Lib and Loo, was found dead inside a residence just north of Skidmore, Missouri. A second victim, 58-year-old Karen M. Babcock of Skidmore, was also discovered at the scene. Law enforcement reported both women had apparent gunshot wounds and the case was described as a double homicide.

Authorities located the residence near the intersection of Missouri Highway 46 and Route PP. The Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office requested help from the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control. A person of interest, 20-year-old Keevin J. Maupin of Skidmore, was taken into custody at the scene and the Nodaway County Prosecuting Attorney charged him on April 19, 2026, with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action; he was being held without bond.

Liberty Moore was a mother of three; her family said she filled rooms with light, laughter and joy. If anyone knew Liberty, Karen, or has information about the deaths, please share what you know.
