Kimberly Moore, 43, vanished from Ringgold, Louisiana after being last seen on New Year’s Eve 2022. She had recently moved back from Dallas around Thanksgiving 2022 and was at a Hall Street party at about 11:30 p.m., wearing a gray sweatsuit with black sleeve stripes and a Queen emblem. Kimberly is described as a Black female, 5 feet 7 inches, about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes; she sometimes dyed her hair or wore wigs.

Less than 24 hours after Kimberly was seen with Vernon Parker, Parker was found dead of a gunshot wound in the backseat of his idling car on Pleasant Road south of Ringgold; a rear passenger door was open. Investigators with the Bienville Parish Sheriff’s Office say Kimberly may have been a witness to the homicide and have obtained search warrants for financial records. Authorities have identified a person of interest in Parker’s murder; no arrests have been announced.

Family members say Kimberly was a friend of Parker and insist she is a victim, not a suspect. If anyone saw Kimberly after New Year’s Eve 2022 or has information about her movements that night, contact the Bienville Parish Sheriff’s Office.
