Nancy Moyer, 36, vanished from her Tenino, Washington home on the evening of Friday, March 6, 2009. After driving a coworker home, she stopped at a market around 6:45 p.m. Her two young daughters were with their father for the weekend. When the girls were returned on Sunday, March 8, the front door was ajar, lights and the television were on, and a glass of wine sat on the coffee table. Nancy’s car, purse, keys, and wallet were all inside the house and there were no signs of forced entry or a struggle.

Searches by deputies, volunteers and dogs turned up no clues, and investigators came to suspect foul play. Family and friends said Nancy would never have voluntarily left her children. Her estranged husband was cooperative, passed a polygraph and was not treated as a suspect. In 2010 Bernard K. Howell III was briefly considered after a separate homicide arrest revealed he’d sold meat like that in Nancy’s freezer, but no link was found. In July 2019 a former coworker and neighbor, Eric Lee Roberts, called 911 and confessed to killing her, claiming an accidental strangulation; he recanted the next day, no corroborating evidence was found, and prosecutors declined to charge.

The case remains open and unsolved. Does anyone have information about Nancy’s movements in Tenino on or after March 6, 2009?
